Hydrograd is the sixth studio album by American heavy metal band Stone Sour. Recorded at Sphere Studios in Los Angeles, it is the follow-up to the band's 2012–2013 double concept album, House of Gold & Bones Part 1 and 2. It was released worldwide on June 30, 2017 via Roadrunner Records. Hydrograd also had a special album premier with commentary on each song from front man Corey Taylor on June 29, 2017 on Octane (Sirius XM). Four singles were released in promotion of the album ahead of its release; "Fabuless", "Song #3", "Taipei Person/Allah Tea" and "Mercy" (Live Recording at Sphere Studios). A fifth single, "Rose Red Violent Blue (This Song Is Dumb & So Am I)", was released on September 13, 2017.

According to Johny Chow, the record is said to be a departure from previous Stone Sour albums, more of a rock-and-roll album. He also mentions that the album has more of a groove feel to it and very melodic with large choruses added to it. A total of 18 songs were recorded, with 15 making the final cut.

Reviews for Hydrograd were very positive. Rock Sins gave the record a 10 out of 10, calling it a risk-taking gem for Stone Sour and Slipknot fans.

Hydrograd debuted at number eight on the US Billboard 200 with 33,000 album-equivalent units, with 30,000 of that figure coming from pure album sales.

All lyrics written by Corey Taylor, all music composed and performed by Stone Sour.
