THE CORY SMOOT EXPERIMENT was recorded in 2010
at CORY's Karma Studios, where GWAR, Municipal Waste,
and many others have laid down tracks. The songs were originally meant for a
concept album called "Religion is Fiction". CORY was
going to lay down all the tracks and then get some of his favorite singers
from the internationally-acclaimed Richmond metal scene to do the vocals,
including GWAR lead singer Dave Brockie and Lamb of God's
Randy Blythe. Unfortunately this didn't happen due to scheduling
problems but that didn't mean the end of the project. CORY went
ahead and recorded the vocals himself and re-named the project THE
CORY SMOOT EXPERIMENT, completing the entire package just before his
final tour with GWAR in the fall of 2011.
Today GuitarWorld.com the online home of Guitar World
Magazine is hosting an exclusive premiere of a track from When
Worlds Collide.
After his passing, GWAR and Metal Blade
set up the Smoot Family Fund to help provide for Cory's family. All
proceeds from this album will be donated to this fund.
Metal Blade Records Chairman and CEO Brian Slagel
commented on the album's release:
"Metal Blade Records is donating all the proceeds of
the Cory Smoot solo album to the Smoot family. Please help us by getting the
CD and enjoying the immense talent he was."
Dave Brockie, a.k.a. Oderus Urungus, lead singer of GWAR shared
his memories of CORY
"CORY SMOOT is one of the great unsung
heroes of metal. His musical abilities transformedGWAR from a
splatter-thrash phenomena into a top metal act. And though he may have left
us way too early, he left us a lifetime of music to listen to. He tore it up
like few others, and will always be remembered as the true Flattus Maximus.
We really loved the man, and there is not a day that goes by or a GWAR show
that is played where he is not sorely missed"
