The Raven star John Cusack and Slipknot and Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor have a lot in common. In Relativity Media's gripping new thriller, The Raven, Cusack imbues Edgar Allan Poe with an incisive intensity akin to Taylor's on stage and studio exorcism in Slipknot. In the film, Poe is on the trail of a serial killer who's bringing the author's work to life brutal fashion. The actor certainly mines the darker depths of the psyche in order

to confront and trap this killer, and he does it with both panache and power. It's an innovative and inventive roller coaster fueled by Cusack's performance as much as the action. Channeling a similar raw energy, Taylor's currently working on a two-disc epic album with Stone Sour and preparing for Slipknot to lay American amphitheaters to waste on this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Both artists possess a deep passion for their work and attack each piece methodically and with a groundbreaking spirit. It's no surprise that they got along quite well when they sat down for this exclusive "Rogue on Rogue" interview just before The Raven hit theaters everywhere on April 27, 2012. In this exclusive interview, John Cusack of The Raven and Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour meet. The two discuss their respective passions, the film, when they discovered Edgar Allan Poe, wearing masks, Stephen King, what's next, and so much more. Click here to read the article!

STONE SOUR has entered Sound Farm Studios just outside of their native Des Moines, Iowa with producer David Bottrill (TOOL, MUSE, STAIND) to begin recording its fourth album for a fall release via Roadrunner Records.

Corey Taylor previously stated about the band's follow-up to 2010's "Audio Secrecy", "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."

He added, "Picture Pink Floyd's 'The Wall' meets Alice In Chains' 'Dirt' on steroids, and that will give you a taste of what I'm shooting for right now. The stuff we have right now is nuclear. It's pretty much going to go all the way. It's dark as shit. There's so much balls out rock on it as well as some good headpunchers and some really cool fucking dark pieces. I'm really excited about it."

Corey commented on the storyline for the next Stone Sour record, saying "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."

Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand added "This album will be another progression for the band. Musically, we have always challenged one another to push things to our limits, and this record is no exception." Rand also shared some details about the album's lyrical and storytelling narrative, saying, "Lyrically, the album follows one character to that complex moment in his life, when he finally has to decide which path to take. It's a spiritual and moral power play for control of what this man will be for the rest of his life. Each song will tell the story from different sides of the character's personality, with the listener ultimately deciding how the story ends."
