Stone Sour: House of Gold & Bones Part I – Credit: StoneSour.com

How Corey Taylor does it is something to wonder about. Not only is he on tour with Slipknot, he’s also getting ready to release yet another Stone Sour album. You could debate whether or not he’s the hardest working man in metal, but he’s gotta be close to the top.

So, the new album is House of Gold & Bones Part I, which will be available on October 23, 2012. It’s the first in a series of concept albums. On this topic, and the first two songs on the album (which are available to stream), Corey has stated:

“These are the first two songs on House of Gold and Bones Part 1. Being the first part of a set of concept albums, ‘Gone Sovereign’ is essentially the overture and ‘Absolute Zero’ is the Hero’s anthem. It is the best way to introduce you to this new world. For more background, you’ll have to wait for the full albums.”

Stream the songs at: www.stonesour.com . You won’t be disappointed; they’re amazing.

Well, you know, clown’s like to have fun, and playing pranks isn’t unusual on eager little boys and girls. So I’m assuming this is Slipknot’s way at poking fun at us for the time being. But at least all the details have been spilled on Antennas To Hell, including the album cover, and it will be available to us on July 24th.

Antennas To Hell also comes with package notes on their career, a DVD of a live show at 2009′s Download Festival, and a series of video montages of Slipknot.

Check out what percussionist Shawn Crahan had to say about Antennas To Hell:

“I think every song Slipknot has ever written is a greatest hit, so it was hard to narrow it down, but at the same time there’s only four records, so we did stick a couple of live songs on. It all falls together the way it needs to.”

Maggots! You have been served, this case is now closed!

Slipknot’s ‘Best Of’ Compilation ‘Antennas To Hell’

Well metallers, six more clips (all embedded below for your convenience) have surfaced since that release, each one specific to a band member, and the mystery behind all of it has been slightly broken across various websites. New details speculate that Slipknot will be releasing a greatest hits album called, Antennas To Hell, which may include remixes of previously released songs, remasters, and, hopefully, new bonus tracks.

But all of this is just speculation, people, and nothing has been officially confirmed. Oddly, video clip #6 that should feature Shawn “Clown” Crahan is either missing, or skipped for unknown reasons. You can now watch #5 and #7, which just came out yesterday while we await for more teasers.

Stay tuned to Yell! Magazine to find out the truth behind Antennas To Hell. Slipknot will also begin touring again on June 30th, and we plan to catch up with them at Heavy MTL on August 12, 2012.

Sid Wilson (aka, #0/ DJ Starscream) has announced the addition of new dates on his current solo tour the Miami Vice Sound Crack Tour, which sees Wilson playing a dual role as both a Dub Step DJ and solo artist, getting out from behind the decks mid-act and performing his unique style of music that Wilson terms “Digipunk.”

In 2011, Wilson released his debut solo album SID as well as an album with TheKeenOne, entitled Keen X Sid Repeat, tracks from which make up part of the set list for the Miami Vice Sound Crack Tour. The tour also includes TheKeenOne, or Keen as she’s nowadays better known, performing alongside Sid Wilson and Jamazz, an Omaha, Nebraska-based rapper who is featured on both albums and recently released his own solo album, Brilliance Dynamic Neon, all of which are available on iTunes.

The tour runs from April through to June where American Head Charge and Blue Felix will be added to the bill for some of the run, until preparations begin for Mayhem Festival, which will see Wilson not only behind the decks with the legendary Slipknot for the summer, but also doing double duty with solo performances during the day at Mayhem and DJing at after-parties at night.

Wilson is also promoting his new clothing line Killa Clothing while out on tour and recently collaborated on an EP with Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst and Wes Borland. MIAMI VICE SOUND CRACK Tour dates are listed below with more dates TBA:

“The track was inspired by simply watching the effects of the recession. There are people losing their homes, small business owners going bankrupt, and watching my home state of Michigan rank number one in violent crime and unemployment. Desperate times create desperate measures,” said Prozak about the track. “As soon as I wrote the song, I knew it was perfect to have Sid’s signature scratches on it. I know Sid shares very similar political beliefs as I do, so I knew we had to collaborate on this song together. Working with Sid Wilson is always a great experience as he is extremely talented and very tech savvy with studio gear. He’s like Dr. Frankenstein with electronics.”

As he demonstrated on his last collection, 2008’s *Tales From The Sick*, which earned a lofty 3.5 Mics in The Source, Prozak is one of rap’s most diverse, talented artists. His versatile style combines elements of rock and hip-hop, with a commanding sense of storytelling and a conscious social message underlining it all.

That also makes Prozak being on Strange Music — the No. 1 independent rap label in the world — a natural fit. The Saginaw, Michigan-based artist has embarked upon several tours with Strange Music and has worked with several of its artists, including Tech N9ne and Brotha Lynch Hung on “My Favorite,” a standout selection from the just-released Tech N9ne Collabos album, Welcome To Strangeland.

Fans that pre-order Prozak’s new album Paranormal online will receive the exclusive bonus track titled “Last Will And Testament”, as well as an autographed booklet and limited edition t-shirt. The song is only available for fans that pre-order the album online through Strange Music.

Prozak has also released his new music video for “Million Miles Away”. The video dares to ask, “If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?” By tracking down the answers from people of all walks of life, the daring and provocative video shows that Prozak is not only an emcee but is also a street philosopher with a message.

Yes, it’s great that this is actually happening, and we’re pretty sure that there are many of you who have nice, big 17-inch computer screens and 7.1 surround, but we’re also pretty sure that the majority of you don’t, which leaves us wondering: Why isn’t Sonisphere/Slipknot also broadcasting this in theaters, like the Big Four did? That would be sweet if for nothing else than to get close and cuddly with fellow Slipknot Maggots.

The band is looking forward to their first show in England in two years and since their bass player’s death:

“England has always been a special place for this band from the very beginning. We can’t think of a better way to culminate our celebration of Paul’s life than to share it with the Maggots at Knebworth, and the millions more watching around the world. This is not to be missed.”

You can catch the webcast either at Slipknot1.com or at Sonispherefestivals.com.

Hope to see you there… or whatever.

Rock Hard!

Words from the Video Uploader

While climbing on the truck he spilled my beer – you owe me one Sid!

Versus the end of the video a fan is rushed out of the audience by his friends for help, the medics performed CPR on him for quite a while afterwards before he was loaded into an ambulance, I hope he made it. Thoughts and prayers go out to this guy. – Protyreus
