Later, Corey Taylor announced the release of a concept double album with Stone Sour. The albums are titled "''House of Gold & Bones''". During the process of making the double album, bassist Shawn Economaki left the band. He was temporarily replaced for touring purposes by [[Johny Chow]]. The [[House of Gold & Bones – Part 1|first part]] was released in October 2012 and the [[House of Gold & Bones – Part 2|second part]] in April 2013. There are 23 songs in total, 11 on the first part and 12 on the second. In addition to these two albums is a four-part comic book series written by Taylor and published by ''[[Dark Horse Comics]]'', which went on sale in 2013. With these albums came a story that was written by Taylor that coincide with the album. Fans can also construct a miniature "house of gold and bones" from the packaging design of the physical versions of the two albums. Taylor has also said that he would like to finish off the project by making the story into a movie but nothing has come of this yet.<ref>[https://www.webcitation.org/5quN5yN1d?url=http://www.muenmagazine.net/2010/06/stone-sour-announce-september-7-release-date-for-audio-secrecy/ "Muen Magazine {{!}} STONE SOUR ANNOUNCE SEPTEMBER 7 RELEASE DATE FOR AUDIO SECRECY"].
