Korn is expected to release a new album soon and members of the band including guitarist Munky revealed the progress of their upcoming record.
In a report by Pop Break, guitarist James Shaffer talked about what fans should expect from the upcoming record.
He claimed how the band plans to bring back the original and signature sound Korn had in their first few releases. He added how they plan to have heavier riffs and the off-timed riffs they had.
"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."
Furthermore, he talked how the band transitioned to a different kind of music in their recent records, where they tried incorporating dubstep into their sound.
"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 other news, singer Jonathan Davis revealed how President Barrack Obama recognized him in a speech, in an interview with Rolling Stone.
"I was asleep and then around six or seven in the morning, my phone starts going off," he said. "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."
The new album from Korn has no official release dates as of now but most fans expect the record to come anytime in 2016.
