Development

Stone Sour started working on the album February 2014. Guitarist Josh Rand stated, "Back in February of 2014 while Stone Sour was touring, Corey approached me about Stone Sour doing a cover of the Metal Church song "The Dark" for the movie Fear Clinic. I thought it would be cool not only to record "The Dark", but the five cover songs that we had played on that tour. The idea was not to shy away from a song because it was popular or pick a band that most people might not have heard, but to pick ones that truly meant something to one of us at some point in our life."

Marketing

The album's cover artwork was revealed on March 2, 2015,[1] while the track list was revealed the following day.[2]

gollark: * people with problems
gollark: To be fair, if you look at a support thing like this it'll heavily select for problems.
gollark: It still seems to *work*, but the noise is annoying and I figure relying on it continuing to work with a capacitor blown or something is maybe not smart.
gollark: The nearest repair centres are, according to the website, quite far away, too.
gollark: My device is still warrantied but not having a laptop for ages while it gets repaired would be very inconvenient, so does anyone know how long this sort of thing generally takes to get fixed (or if there is a simple repair I can do, but I doubt it)?
