He then launched the non-profit Taylor Foundation, which aims to support and assist military veterans and provide personal help to those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
More recently, Corey Taylor has acquired the rights to his favorite Famous Monsters brand, relaunched his magazine, games, horror film, and has also hosted festivals.
This September, he released his second solo studio album, CMF2, which has further expanded his diverse musical universe - and helped him find himself. "It's the closest to the real me that I've always been," he said of her.
