Stone Sour est un groupe de metal alternatif américain, originaire de Des Moines, dans l'Iowa. Il est fondé en 1992 par le chanteur Corey Taylor et le batteur Joel Ekman. Après plusieurs années peu fructueuses, Corey Taylor quitte le groupe en 1997 pour se joindre à Slipknot (dans lequel on retrouve également le guitariste James Root). Après avoir acquis une certaine notoriété grâce à Slipknot, Corey Taylor et James Root reviennent dans Stone Sour sans quitter Slipknot pour autant. Le groupe sort alors en 2002 son premier album éponyme grâce auquel le groupe est nommé deux fois aux Grammy Award, dans la catégorie « meilleure performance metal », pour les singles Get Inside (2003) et Inhale (2004). L'album est certifié disque d'or par la RIAA.
