About Korn

In their 14 years of togetherness, the L.A.-based lineup has both survived and thrived, and the songs on the untitled record are rife with detritus of decadence and lessons learned. That fervor and authenticity is felt and appreciated by both fans and peers, Korn’s groundbreaking sound spawned a plethora of imitators. But the fans know where it began, and show their loyalty. Now we have a new generation of young kids at our shows, observes Davis. When we started, most of our fans were 14, 15, and now they’re lawyers and doctors who are bringing their kids. We’re transcending generations. It’s cool.

Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch left the band in 2005, and drummer David Silveria has been on a hiatus from Korn since 2006. Davis replies to the band changes:

"The dynamics and chemistry have of course changed, and it’s reflected musically and creatively on this album. Munky has done an amazing job taking on all the guitar duties; he’s really grown as a player. We’ve all had to step it up, and the core of us--me, Fieldy and Munk--we share a passion. I don’t think we’d be alive if we didn’t have our music and weren’t able to do this."
