While the band is currently on tour promoting and playing their self-titled debut album as a whole, the new album from Korn is also being created and that the release of the new disc may come out anytime soon.
As for the sound and feel of the record, Korn guitarist James Shaffer revealed in an interview that was reported by Pop Break that their new album could contain the old sound the band has always had, stating the off-beat drum patterns and heavy riffs they are usually known for.
"Keep the melodic elements of what we captured on the last record but really expand on the heavy riffs and get a bit dirtier," the musician who is also known as Munky said of the new Korn album. "Maybe a little longer songs with longer intros, and a little more math rock, not prog-rocky but maybe some slower tempoed grooves that are 7/8 or 3/4 timing and stuff like that."
"It's about taking chances and going out on a limb," he continued. "You hear a lot of bands say how every album is a chance to reinvent yourself. For us, I really feel like we've gone out on a f-ing plank because sometimes there's no turning back. You have to commit to it and sometimes it's like 'Eh, I don't know,' and you kind of let go and see what happens."
In addition to new album reports from Korn, Metal Injection also revealed how singer Jonathan Davis was recognized by the president of the country during on of his speeches.
"I was asleep and then around six or seven in the morning, my phone starts going off," Davis revealed in a Rolling Stone interview. "I look over and someone had just texted me 'The president just said your name during this Medal of Honor ceremony.' I'm just like 'whatever' and went back to sleep, but [my phone] kept going."
"I couldn't believe it. It's really cool. The President of the United States gave me props for being there for a Medal of Honor recipient. Groberg went through hell."
