Stone Sour Start Work On New Album

 Corey Taylor tweeted yesterday about the band starting work on a new album. "Construction on the new album began yesterday.  Its gonna be a motherfucking MONSTER." said Corey, followed by his love of maple syrup.

  Taylor spoke with Artisan News earlier this year about writing the new album.  "Right now alone, we have 13 complete songs, with six more that I can demo, probably two or three that Josh [Rand] still has that we're tweaking, and then a bunch that Jim's [Root] gonna bring in.  Our ultimate goal is a double concept album, which the only way I can describe it is 'The Wall' meets 'Dirt' on steroids.  And I think it's gonna be fantastic.  And if I can pull it off, it's gonna be the biggest thing we've done in our career."

  Any more updates on the album we will let you know.
