Stone Sour has been releasing demo versions of their songs every week, and this week it's "The Bitter End." Or as it was known in 2000, a full 10 years prior to its release on Audio Secrecy, "Ending/Beginning." Guitarist Josh Rand explains how the song finally saw the light of day.
The song Ending/Beginning has an interesting story. The original idea was recorded during the 2000 Project X sessions, but I wasn’t really happy with how it turned out. I felt it was missing something so we shelved it. Then in 2008 I rediscovered the track as I was backing up my hard drives. After listening to it, I figured I would mess with it a bit to see if I could make it better. The Bitter End from the album Audio Secrecy is ultimately what it would become 10 years later. Here is the original 2000 demo.
Stone Sour doesn't have any plans to record a new album anytime soon, but they are releasing a demos and rarities compilation this summer!
