the two system albums could have made one semi-decent album, especially if daron hadn't insisted on doing most of the singing. I mean really, your singer has an amazingly powerful and distimctive voice, so you make him sing back-up to your nasal whining? what!? and I can really live without crap like 'lonely day' and those hollywood songs.

We give you...KORNSTEP:
Korn will release their tenth studio album, The Path of Totality, on December 6. The Path of Totality is unlike any previous Korn release; it's an experimental record which finds the band shifting gears and exploring new territory. For the record, Korn collaborated with some of the leading dubstep and electronic music producers in the world, including Skrillex, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise, and 12th Planet. The result is something completely new, yet utterly and definitively Korn."The title The Path of Totality refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time," Korn frontman Jonathan Davis explained. "That's how this album came together. I think all the producers feel the same way. I'm not sure it could ever happen again."The band's recent collaboration with dubstep's hottest producer, Skrillex, "Get Up!", was the surprise rock hit of the summer. The buzz started in Coachella's dance tent in April 2011, when Jonathan and guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer joined Skrillex on stage for a show-stealing, unannounced performance of the song. That generated what's become a deafening buzz. The track was a top 10 radio hit and has sold over 150,000 downloads, while the lyric video has generated nearly two million views and counting on YouTube.Added Shaffer: "Get Up!" started as a bit of an experiment, but we had such an amazing response from our fans and had such a great time collaborating that a full album of tracks came together in a couple of months. We couldn't wait to get to the studio every day to finish the next song."Some of the song titles from The Path of Totality are: "Narcissistic Cannibal" (a video for which was shot this week), "Burn the Obedient," "Illuminati," "Kill Mercy Within" and "Chaos Lives in Everything."The album will be released in two configurations: as a standard 11-song CD and a special edition that will include bonus tracks, as well as a DVD of The Encounter, a full-length video concert of Korn's mind-blowing, once-in-a-lifetime performance in the middle of a 900-foot long crop circle in a wheat field in Bakersfield. The complete concert, previously seen last year on TV and online in abbreviated form, will be offered in its entirety to those who purchase the deluxe version.Additionally, today Korn announced that the first leg of their "Path of Totality (P.O.T.)" tour will play key ballrooms and feature dubstep DJs Datsik and Downlink, as well as upstart Dutch Dub-rockers Dope D.O.D. Expect a groundbreaking experience unlike any other Korn tour.

Dutch Dub-rockers Dope D.O.D.
This actually might be my favorite part of the whole press release. I sense a theme.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 14:26 (twelve years ago) link
i think i might actually not listen to this just because it can't live up to expectations.

distance will be upset he's not been invited. admits to having got into electronic music via korn. samples the band "snot" on his debut lp.

I heard the debut again a couple of days ago for the first time in ages and I was impressed by how well it seems to have held up - they really said all they needed to say on that record and would probably be looked on far more fondly if it had been their only album.

Korn > Issues > Untouchables > Life is Peachy > Follow the Leader > Take a Look in the Mirror

^^^ agreed wholeheartedly
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 17:59 (six years ago) link
issues is a v good record
Issues seemed to be a bit of a breakthrough record for them here - it's strange, but I seem to know more people who got into Korn with that record, rather than the debut or even Follow the Leader(!)

falling away from me was always on mtv2 in the uk lol
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 August 2017 18:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah, true! I don't really remember seeing many, if any, Korn videos on TV prior to 1999/2000.
― more Allegro-like (Turrican), Monday, 14 August 2017 19:04 (six years ago) link
i think maybe the impact of linkin park and limp bizkit, who had the first real HIT nu-metal albums in the uk in 2000, might have made it easier to sell nu-metal. i remember being 12 in 1996 and listening to korn, deftones, and limp bizkit and basically no-one in my school was into them or had even heard of them.
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 August 2017 20:12 (six years ago) link
Fast forward to 2001 and I seem to remember seeing Issues and White Pony hoodies everywhere!
My first encounter with Korn was on some foreign TV channel in either '96 or '97, there was a bit of live footage with Davis being angry and playing bagpipes and I remember thinking "no way would this band ever become successful in the UK" ... when they did become successful here I was really surprised.
― more Allegro-like (Turrican), Monday, 14 August 2017 20:28 (six years ago) link
Looking back, the popularity of nu-metal in the UK from 1999-2002 was just a small part of what really was a resurgence in popularity of American alternative rock in general. There was Korn, Deftones, Slipknot, System of a Down, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Linkin Park etc. but also there was renewed interest in pop-punk, grunge and Metallica were still very popular. Then later stuff like At the Drive-In etc.

just re-listened to the self-titled and life is peachy while working on a cover letter last night and the former is a lot better and holds up pretty ok.
jonathan davis' grumbling, muttley vocal routine sounds beyond ridiculous, and i have some issues with 5-string slap bass, but i like the guitar tones, drums, and the groove metal vibe
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 18:15 (six years ago) link
"Here to Stay" fucking rules. i love that record. can't believe that was a hit single in 2002. just sheer brutality
― flappy bird, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 18:21 (six years ago) link
I keep forgetting how disco-tastic 'Got the Life' sounds!
― more Allegro-like (Turrican), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 19:29 (six years ago) link
Been listening to the first six Korn albums a lot recently and it's really amazing how much this stuff sold considering how difficult, ugly and dissonant some of their stuff is.
