Corey Taylor guests on The Dead Deads' Murder Ballad II

Following on from his March guest spot with Moonshine Bandits, Corey Taylor is back with another feature: this time on The Dead Deads' Murder Ballad II.

"My little brother was teasing me the other day about the juxtaposition of our poorly-attended first gig playing a benefit show of Dead Milkmen covers to now releasing a duet with Corey Taylor," enthuses guitarist Meta Dead. "I know most people's question is probably going to be: 'How did this happen?' And the answer is: 'CMFT is nice as hell, and likes the kind of songs we write.'"

"It went from, 'Yay, we're on tour with Stone Sour,' to, 'Yay, Corey might want to co-write for the new record,' to, 'Yay, here's a single and a video with CMFT,' and it all felt pretty natural and also a bit surreal," continues bassist Daisy Dead. "I mean, our band dressed as Slipknot for Halloween once, so, yeah! It's wild."

Corey adds: "I got turned on to [The Dead Deads] by their album For Your Obliteration… which is such a great album and is some of the best songwriting I've heard in years. We had the chance to have them on some Stone Sour shows, and me and Tish hit it off as songwriters. She said, 'I've got this idea for a follow-up to Murder Ballad, which was essentially Murder Ballad II. Through video, we went back and forth, building this song and working it out. It became something really really cool."
