Stone Sour Drummer Goes Home To Sick Son

Roadrunner Records has issued the following Stone Sour update from guitarist Josh Rand:

"As we roll into week four of the recording process for the new album, a lot has happened...

Starting off with a week of pre-production as [our producer] Nick (Rasculinecz) pushed us to the brink and back, we fine-tuned the songs for the record. Now with 18 tracks slated to be recorded we were ready to begin the drum tracks.

[However,] two weeks into the recording of the drums Joel (Ekman) would have to leave the project and return home to his family. His nine-year-old son is very sick. He was diagnosed with Brain Stem Glioma (brain cancer) last fall. With the fate of the record now up in the air a decision had to be made: postpone the record or bring in someone to finish the drum tracks. So with Joel's blessing, Roy Mayorga (ex-SOULFLY) will finish the drum tracks as we move forward.

On behalf of myself and the rest of Stone Sour our prayers go out to the Ekmans.

God Bless,

Josh

Stone Sour

This is a perfect example of what a real parent does. Sacrifice when it really matters
