Overview
The bestselling no-holds-barred story of Corey Taylor's life as a sinner, with new chapter 'I was 22 years old, a hard-on with a pulse- wretched, vice-ridden, too much to burn and not enough minutes in a hour to do so' The action begins in West Des Moines, Iowa, where Corey Taylor, frontman of heavy metal bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, systematically set about committing each of the Seven Deadly Sins. He has picked fights with douche bags openly brandishing guns. He has set himself on fire at parties and woken up in dumpsters after cocaine binges. He lost his virginity at eleven. He got rich and famous and immersed himself in booze, women, and chaos until one day he realised, suddenly, that he didn't need any of that at all. Now updated with a brand new chapter, Seven Deadly Sins is a brutally honest look at 'a life that could have gone horribly wrong at any turn', and the soul-searching and self-discovery it took to set it right.

Reviews
Wild * NME * One hell of a read * Classic Rock *
<p> Publishers Weekly, 6/13/11<br> Fans of the heavy metal band Slipknot will eagerly devour its lead singer/songwriter Taylor's first book, which displays a prose that perfectly captures the supercharged energy, aggression, and outrageousness of Slipknot's music...Powerful and moving. Revolver magazine, 7/1/11 Dishy The Oakland Press, 6/30/11 In this series of essays, based around the titular sins, Taylor espouses upon the lessons learned while going from 'an absolute crazy person' into someone more in control and reflective--but not pulling any punches. He can be both self-effacing and self-aggrandizing, but he presents a more worthwhile and even illuminating 'argument' than most of his peers could manage. Drive 97.3 KLCB Rocks (video review), 6/28/11<br> A great book...Steps away from the average rock bio. It's really a trip into the deranged mind of Corey Taylor himself. It reads just like he talks and if you've seen any of his interviews or ever met Corey Taylor you know
