Roadrunner sent over word that Stone Sour will release the first installment of their double album House of Gold & Bones Part 1 on October 23, 2012. The second installment will be released in 2013.

The album was recorded at Sound Farm Studios just outside of the band's native Des Moines, Iowa with producer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse, Staind) at the helm.

The band is sharing the first two tracks from Part 1, titled "Gone Sovereign" and "Absolute Zero," here . Guitarist Josh Rand states, "House of Gold & Bones takes everything that's great about this band and amplifies it. The riffs, the lyrics, the grooves and the songs are like Stone Sour times 10. There's also heavy stuff that's like nothing we've ever done before . It's dark as hell and a complete experience from the first track to the last."

Singer, songwriter and lyricist Corey Taylor wrote the lyrics for the 24 tracks that make up House of Gold & Bones as a linear storyline. It tells the tale of a character created by Taylor.

Stone Sour have also confirmed the first leg of a global tour to support House of Gold & Bones, playing shows on five continents, with many more to come. Says Taylor, "It's going to be awesome to bring the House of Gold & Bones to the fans live. We're all psyched to come to Japan and South America right away as well; they're some of the best fans in the world! We gave people a taste of Part 1, now we're going to bring them the best Stone Sour show they've ever seen. Get ready: It begins soon�"
