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.
