SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor has confirmed that the band is considering writing and recording a double concept album to follow last year's ".5: The Gray Chapter". During the question-and-answer portion of his recent solo performance in Los Angeles, Taylor said, "We've been talking about a double concept album, which I don't know if we could… But it's an interesting idea. So they told me to start thinking of an idea for a story. So we'll see what happens."

Taylor told The Pulse Of Radio that SLIPKNOT definitely has plans to return after the current cycle for ".5: The Gray Chapter" ends. "Yeah, there'll definitely be more," he said. "I think we're gonna do the usual thing where, you know, we'll probably tour until summer next year, and then we'll take some time off. We all have things that we do in our lives that we'll take time to go and do, and when it feels right to come back, we'll come back."

SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan said recently that he would love to see the band record a double concept album in the vein of PINK FLOYD's "The Wall" and THE BEATLES' "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band".

Taylor's other band, STONE SOUR, recorded a double concept album in 2012, "House Of Gold And Bones".

".5: The Gray Chapter" was released in October 2014 following a six-year hiatus during which founding SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray died and original drummer Joey Jordison was dismissed.

Corey Taylor also said during his Los Angeles show that the band is almost certain to keep working with current drummer Jay Weinberg and bassist Alessandro Venturella.

SLIPKNOT's "Summer's Last Stand" tour kicked off on Friday (July 24) in West Palm Beach, Florida.
