Seven Deadly Sins is Taylor‘s personal story, but it’s also a larger discussion of what it means to be seen as either a “good” person or a “bad” one. Yes, Corey Taylor has broken the law and hurt people, but, if sin is what makes us human, how wrong can it be?

Corey Taylor: “I am looking forward to basically becoming a mad scientist in the studio and creating an album that no one wants us to make. I pretty much got permission to do whatever I wanted, which means that I’m essentially going against the grain in an age where people are fucking trying to simply put out singles. We’re looking to do a double concept album and really make it destructive.”

“We’re still writing and recording stuff. Right now alone, we have 13 completed songs, with six more that I can demo, probably two or three that Josh [Rand, guitar] still has that we’re tweaking, and then a bunch that Jim‘s [Root, guitar] gonna bring in. Our ultimate goal is a double concept album, which the only way I can describe it is [Pink Floyd's] ‘The Wall’ meets [Alice In Chains'] ‘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 ever done in our career.”

Corey Taylor previously said about the storyline for the next Stone Sour record, “It’s basically the story of a man who’s trying to figure it out. He can’t figure out if he’s happier when he’s miserable, or if he’s miserable about not being happy. It’s almost like a mid-life crisis in a way. He’s young enough that he knows that there’s still a lot of life to live, but he’s old enough to realize that he can’t be hung up on the romance of teenage depression and youthful aggression.”

Sound Spike: I heard the new Stone Sour album is going to be a concept album?

Corey Taylor: Yeah, yeah. If I have my way, it’ll be a double concept album and it’ll be something very grandiose and something that probably will be the biggest thing we’ve ever done in our career. I’m really, really excited about it. The songs that we have right now alone are enough to make it fantastic and really get people’s attention. So I’m really stoked.

Sound Spike: Do you foresee a new album with Slipknot?

Corey Taylor: Not yet. It’s still a little quick to be doing anything like that. The great thing is we have all the time in the world to do something like that. When we do make another album, it’s gotta feel right. It’s gotta be for the right reasons. It’s gotta be for the right music. I think if we ran in right now and tried to force something, it would sound forced and it wouldn’t be as vibrant as the stuff we’ve put out in the past. Plus, we’re missing one of our key songwriters. Right now it makes more sense for us to rebuild everything as a band and maybe in a couple years go in and make a new Slipknot album. I’m not saying there won’t be one. I’m just saying right now I have no plans to make one.
