With six full-length albums under their belt, Stone Sour now enter the fray with Hello, You Bastards: Live In Reno – a slamming 15-track set from the band’s October 2018 performance at the Grand Sierra Theatre in Reno, Nevada.

It’s actually a great time for the band to do this. 2017’s cemented their stature as a heatseeking mainstream metal band.
