The Cory Smoot Experiment Coming in June (A Top Story)

. On Wednesday The Cory Smoot Experiment Coming in June was a top story. Here is the recap: Metal Blade Records have set a June 5th release date for late Gwar guitarist Cory Smoot's solo project, with all proceeds set to benefit the Smoot Family Fund. We were sent these details:

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 2012.

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. - more on this story
