The monsters that terrorized the Metal scene and gave birth to the all-mighty SLIPKNOT are back! Motherfuckers they are back, and now bringing you one hell of a record. A record that every fan of good music will appreciate, dear readers, I bring you "House Of Gold & Bones Part 1". The release is amazing in many ways, professional production, amazing musicianship, and the band's will to make something unique and captivating is clear within every second contained in this CD.

This release here comes with a storyline, and Stone sour ain't kidding around. They have a story they want to share with you. Corey Taylor talks about his experiences concerning spiritual and emotional ones, yet at the same time, he puts all this in an album that is meant to entertain. The more the variety, the better.

The release starts with some face-melting nukes that can make a goddamn cripple run his ass off. "Gone Sovereign" and "Absolute Zero" are true gems; they can sure put you in the right and proper mood for such a release. The bass, the guitar, and the drums storm the gates and break straight into your eardrums, and why is that? Because they're done in a fantastic way. The bass is beyond audible, and to me, that is a breath of fresh air.

Every sample is very well produced; the album is made in a perfect form, the sounds and instrumentals all sound in place, and the vocals couldn't have been any better. Taylor's vocal chords never tire out, they never freaking do! Ever since SLIPKNOT, he proved to be one of the giants in the scene.

This release is a must for anyone wanting a good Metal album. Don't worry about genres, because whatever you may classify this release as, it's a must for every ear that is used to Metal. Hell! Even if you're into Rock music you need to check this out. So fucking do that!
