STONE SOUR guitarist Josh Rand commented on the EP,
“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.”
Earlier this month STONE SOUR released their new digital single, ‘The Dark,’ which was recorded for the film Fear Clinic, the latest excursion into unrelenting terror by Anchor Bay Entertainment starring horror icon Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund alongside STONE SOUR and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor in his acting debut. Originally performed by Metal Church, ‘The Dark’ is currently available via iTunes with a companion video piece streaming on Fear Clinic’s official YouTube channel.

STONE SOUR have been busy working on Meanwhile In Burbank… since releasing their monumental two part album, House of Gold & Bones, which produced three Top 5 singles on the BDS Rock Chart (“Tired,” “Absolute Zero,” and “Do Me a Favor”). Both Part 1 and Part 2 of the two-part concept album – following a linear storyline written by singer Corey Taylor – debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 marking four consecutive Top 10 album debuts for STONE SOUR. Over the course of the past decade, Stone Sour has sold over four million albums worldwide and garnered three Grammy Award nominations.
