Stone Sour's "Hesitate" Video

We've all come to know Stone Sour as a hard rock, kick your ass group with no holds barred.  This comes as no surprise with metal legends such as Corey Taylor and James Root (both of Slipknot) heading the lineup.  But perhaps the thing that makes them one of the most brilliantly eclectic metal bands is how they can melt your ear drums one track and the very next steal your girlfriend with a song straight from the depths of their metal hearts. This was the case when they released their latest album 'Audio Secrecy' in early July.  The track "Hesitate" was the epitome of metal from the heart.

Here's what Noisecreep writer Matt Debenedictis had to say about the song and the newly released video:

In a video interview detailing each track on 'Audio Secrecy,' Taylor explained the work that went into recording the track. "I wrote that song about two years ago and it's a different kind of vibe for what people would normally know from me, but at the same time it's a fantastic tune."

Revealing the song's source, he said, "It's a bittersweet song. It's about letting go of something that you want with all your heart that you know is just gonna do nothing but damage to you. And it takes a special kind of heart and a special kind of courage to do that. And not a lot of people have that kind of courage.

"They would rather sit in a relationship for years and wallow in it because they're afraid of being alone. And this is about having the courage to say, 'You know what, I'm getting away. I'm gonna be on my own, and I'm gonna be OK.' And those first few steps are the worst, but once you get each foot in front of the other, it's a lot easier."
