Audio Secrecy (15th Anniversary Edition)

Audio Secrecy (15th Anniversary Edition) marks fifteen years of Audio Secrecy, the third studio album Stone Sour made, first issued in 2010, with three CDs and fifty tracks. Its release date abroad is 20 November 2026. The release date of Warner Music Japan's edition is 9 December 2026, and it adds a separate booklet with a full Japanese translation of Ryan J. Downey's liner notes and the lyrics with translations. The new artwork is by P.R. Brown. The first disc is the album's fourteen songs, remastered in 2026, with four bonus tracks. "Hate Not Gone", "Anna" and "Home Again" were the bonus tracks of the 2010 limited and special editions and of the Japanese edition. "The Pessimist" was given to the digital edition of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack and had been available only as a download; this is the first time it is on CD or vinyl. The second disc holds eighteen additional tracks and demos. It opens with "Full Of Empty (2026 Version)", a song that grew out of a demo from the Audio Secrecy sessions and had never been released: Corey Taylor wrote new words and sang it, and the album-era line-up recorded it in 2026, with new guitar parts from Jim Root and Josh Rand, according to the band's announcement. "Saturday Mourning (2026 Mix)" is a new mix of a song that was a digital-only bonus track at the time. The rest are rough mixes and demos of the album's songs, among them "Pieces" without bass, "Anna" with its original lyrics and "Methmouth", the rough vocal demo of "The Pessimist". The third disc is the band's show at the Brighton Centre in Brighton on 7 November 2010, fourteen tracks from the tour they co-headlined with Avenged Sevenfold. It was once a DVD for fan-club members; this is its first general release as a live album. Abroad the edition also comes as a double LP, the album with four of the additions, eighteen tracks, and digitally.
