Stone Sour - House Of Gold & Bones Part 1 (2013 European Vinyl LP)

Heavy riffs with a bigger story to tell. House Of Gold & Bones Part 1 finds Stone Sour stretching their hard-rock instincts into the opening half of a two-album concept, moving between forceful anthems and more reflective passages. “Gone Sovereign” and “Absolute Zero” provide the immediate impact, while the acoustic “Taciturn” shows how much the record gains from pulling back as well as pushing harder.

Formed in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1992 by Corey Taylor and drummer Joel Ekman, Stone Sour began before Taylor's rise with Slipknot. Following a late-'90s hiatus, the band reunited in 2000 and built their own identity through their self-titled debut, Come What(ever) May and Audio Secrecy. Originally released in October 2012, House Of Gold & Bones Part 1 is their fourth studio album, with its concept continued on Part 2 in 2013. Skid Row's Rachel Bolan contributed studio bass following Shawn Economaki's departure. This copy is the 2013 European vinyl LP issued by Cargo Records and Roadrunner Records.
