Ray Luzier is OBSESSED
Korn to release 'The Path Of Totality'
Korn
announced today that they will release their tenth studio album, The Path
of Totality on December 6. But this is unlike any Korn record. It's even unlike
any record released before.
The Path of Totality is an experimental album which finds Korn shifting gears
and exploring new territory. That should hardly come as a shock to the band's
diehard fans, as Korn exploded onto the scene in the'90s and established themselves
as hard rock game changers from that point on.
For The Path of Totality, the band collaborated with some of the leading dubstep
and electronic 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. Leave it to a band like Korn to continue
to reinvent itself two decades deep into its career.
"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 (and much lauded) collaboration with dubstep's hottest producer,
Skrillex, titled "Get Up!," was the surprise rock hit of the summer,
the buzz of which started in Coachella's dance tent in April 2011, when Jonathan
and Munky joined Skrillex on stage for a show stealing unannounced performance
of the song.
That performance generated the start of a deafening buzz. The track has sold
over 150,000 downloads, while the lyric video has generated nearly two million
views and counting. The song was a top 10 rock radio hit.
Added James "Munky" 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," "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 CD 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 an 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
DJ's Datsik and Downlink, as well as young upstart Dutch Dub-rockers Dope
D.O.D. Expect a groundbreaking experience unlike any other Korn tour.
Tickets to some of the shows go on sale this weekend to the general public,
but pre-sale and brand new VIP packages are available starting Wednesday at
noon ET exclusively at korn.com.

Thanks to everyone in Japan that made my 3 tours there this year happen... It is so amazing over there and I really appreciate all the support, see all of you again in '08 for sure!
BTW... I went to 2 VAN HALEN rehearsals at the LA Forum a couple weeks ago to see my old boss... UNBELIEVABLE!! Dave's never sounded better. Go see this show, if you haven't already. I was blown away seeing him with Alex and Eddie VH. I never thought I'd be sittin' in a room with them in '07... THANKS DAVE!!
