Corey Taylor is releasing a sample of new music from his upcoming solo album. The announcement was made on Corey’s Twitter over the weekend with a message that simply read: “Are You Ready? New Music July 29 #CMFT” accompanied by the letters CMFT in lights.

Taylor previously explained that his upcoming solo record will explore a variety of genres and takes influence from such wide-ranging artists as Alice In Chains, Slade and Johnny Cash. “The way I’ve been looking at it is it’s like a futuristic throwback,” he said. “Everything on this album is a hybrid of all these different genres that I’m really into. It’s a modern take on vibes that people have heard before, and yet I’ve taken them and kind of thrown them through this crazy filter to see what we get. Everybody who hears it is just blown away, so I’m really, really stoked.”

Fleetwood Mac co-founder and iconic British blues guitarist Peter Green has died at the age of 73. His family said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that the family of Peter Green announce his death this weekend, peacefully in his sleep. A further statement will be provided in the coming days.”

Green began his career as a teenager playing in various UK outfits; he replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers at the age of 19. A year later, Green brought Bluesbreakers drummer Mick Fleetwood with him to form Fleetwood Mac alongside guitarist Jeremy Spencer and Bob Brunning in London; a short time later, Brunning was replaced by Mayall’s bassist John McVie and the band recorded and issued their self-titled debut album in early 1968, which went Top 5 in the country.

Green wrote a number of classic tracks and hits for the group during the early years, including “Black Magic Woman”, “Man Of The World”, “Oh Well”, “The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)” and the UK No.1 “Albatross.” A month after leaving Fleetwood Mac in the spring of 1970, Green recorded his solo debut, “The End Of The Game.” He returned to issue a second record, “In The Skies”, in 1979, and a yearly series of albums up until 1984.
