Vocalist Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR) is featured in a new interview on the Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Live 105 program The Scotty Mars Show. Check it out below:

Stone Sour are gearing up to release their double-concept album, House Of Gold And Bones. Part One is due in October, with Part Two expected next year.

Taylor states: "The new Stone Sour album is a two-part double concept album called House Of Gold And Bones (HoGaB), parts 1 and 2. Part 1 will drop in Oct ’12, Part 2 will drop next year. Twenty-four songs, 12 on each disc. Each disc will include one half of the story - for lyrics, you’ll have to go to our site. Once I lock in the company who will help me put it together, there will be a comic book as well. Song titles include 'Absolute Zero', 'RU486', 'A Rumor of Skin' and 'Taciturn'. Very excited for everyone to hear it! Stay tuned!"

Taylor has posted a sample of the story for the album concept below:

"This album will be another progression for the band," guitarist Josh Rand previously stated. "Musically, we have always challenged one another to push things to our limits, and this record is no exception."

Rand also shared some details about the album's lyrical and storytelling narrative, saying, "Lyrically, the album follows one character to that complex moment in his life, when he finally has to decide which path to take. It's a spiritual and moral power play for control of what this man will be for the rest of his life. Each song will tell the story from different sides of the character's personality, with the listener ultimately deciding how the story ends."

In the following video interview with The Backstage Beat, SKID ROW bassist Rachel Bolan reveals that he is in the midst of recording the new Stone Sour album. Bolan has finished 18 songs with five more to go.
