11 Great Things In Metal This Week (11th Dec)

9. Stone Sour Releases Video For "Zzyzx Rd."

Last week, American hard rock mavens Stone Sour announced that on 16th December, they will be re-releasing their beloved Come What(ever) May album to celebrate its 10th birthday. This week, desperate not to let the hype die, the band have unveiled a music video for one of the record's most adored tracks: "Zzyzx Rd.".

Even though it's not the most complex video in the world (it's most just a guy walking), the sombre and emotive tone of the track has not disappeared over the course of its decade-long lifetime, as the usually roaring lead singer Corey Taylor displays his more sensitive side over a calming yet saddening piano riff.

Just as powerful today as it was in 2006, "Zzyzx Rd." truly deserves a re-listen.
