Stone Sour dropping a double album later this year

Not to be outdone by a Slipknot greatest hits, Stone Sour (featuring Slipknot members Corey Taylor and Jim Root) posted an ominous message on their website yesterday, "In Domus de Aurum et Ossium," which is Latin for "House of Gold and Bones."

Turns out that's the name of Stone Sour's upcoming double album, the first disc of which will hit stores Oct. 12. The second disc fill follow sometime next year.

On his Twitter, Taylor shared a few more details:

"The new Stone Sour album is a 2-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. 24 songs, 12 on each disc. Each disc will include one half of the story- for lyrics, you'll have to our site. (I assume he meant "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!!"
