Video footage of SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor talking to the U.K. branch of Roadrunner Records about his forthcoming Christmas single entitled "X-M@$" can be viewed below.

"X-M@$" will be released on December 12 in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust. Fans will be able to pick up the single from all leading digital retailers, including iTunes, Amazon and Play.com.

"It's actually a song that I wrote four years ago just for a laugh," Taylor told Kerrang! magazine "But when I played it for all of my friends they were like, 'This is fucking brilliant'. For some reason my manager forgot that I'd written it, but then a few months ago he found the song and immediately went, 'We gotta release this in time for this Christmas', and I was like, 'Why the fuck not?'"

According to Oblioo.com, Corey recorded the track on a day off during STONE SOUR's recent U.K. tour at Metropolis Studios in Chiswick, West London.

"I wrote this song in my kitchen one winter, listening to people bitch about the holidays," Taylor explained. "Personally, I love the holidays, but they seem to bring on severe stress in most people. So, I wrote this in honor of crotchety, drunken bastards who don’t know the difference between a yuletide and a toolshed. Plus, I think it's funny. I bet the U.K. will too. They're some of my favorite people in the world."

STONE SOUR, AVENGED SEVENFOLD and HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD will join forces for "The Nightmare After Christmas" tour in January/February.

STONE SOUR's third album, "Audio Secrecy", was released on September 7 and debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard album chart, selling 46,000 copies in its first week of release.
