Demo versions of Stone Sour tracks are still seeing the light of day. This time it’s an early demo called “Ending/Beginning“. The song would later be reworked and released as “The Bitter End” on “Audio Secrecy” which released in 2010. The band’s guitarist Josh Rand commented on the track:
“The song ‘Ending/Beginning‘ has an interesting story. The original idea was recorded during the 2000 Project X sessions, but I wasn’t really happy with how it turned out. I felt it was missing something so we shelved it. Then in 2008 I rediscovered the track as I was backing up my hard drives. After listening to it, I figured I would mess with it a bit to see if I could make it better. ‘The Bitter End‘ from the album ‘Audio Secrecy‘ is ultimately what it would become 10 years later. Here is the original 2000 demo.”
