Come to think of it, I can hardly recall any of their other albums at all.

Saturday Day Wrist is pretty atmospheric...

Not really. I can recall the album covers and that's about it.

I mean... bagpipes, crying solos ("Daddy"), totally off the wall production (even on some of their slicker stuff... listen to "Predictable"!), a dude scatting, two guitarists who trade weird noises back and forth, a slap bassist who plays stuff that doesn't go with the songs at all usually.

Brilliant band.

None of that changes the fact that they're rap metal and you're a fucking moron for taking them even remotely seriously.

Are you writing a band off purely on the basis of their genre? Or because someone's taking a genre 'seriously'? Either way, it's a dangerously prescriptive/ elitist position you're taking.

Indeed.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Glice again.

Anyways, I thought some of you may be interested in these extremely early versions of Falling Away From Me (previously called Be With Me Now) and Beg For Me LIVE from Woodstock '99. The biggest difference in the demo versions of these songs is the lyrics, but there are a few other tweaks as well.

And just for kicks, here's KoRn's cover of Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB7-J1OlxrE

i don't know, i keep an open mind but experience has told me there is nothing of worth in the "nu metal" genre. Basically what I'm saying is that "nu metal" is to rock what "happy hardcore" is to dance.

KoRn signs with Roadrunner Records (source: bloody disgusting)

Quote:

Roadrunner Records announced today the worldwide signing of multi-platinum, genre-defining hard rock band Korn to the label. Korn III - Remember Who You Are is the band's ninth album overall and their first album for their new label. It was produced by Ross Robinson, who also manned the boards for the band's explosively definitive self-titled 1994 debut, as well as the follow up, 1996's Life is Peachy.

Bursting onto and instantly dominating the hard rock scene in 1994, Korn have proven to be one of the pre-eminent bands in the world, as well as one of the most influential and significant bands on the hard rock musical landscape for the past two decades.

"We called this record Korn III - Remember Who You Are because it really feels like a return to that attitude we had on the first two records," bassist Fieldy said. "And when it came to putting this record out, we could not think of anyone better to help us than Roadrunner, the only label that even understands rock music anymore."

Fieldy also checked in from the band's current tour, taking time to greet fans while the band was trekking around the snowy Alaskan terrain. You can check out the video HERE (Warning: Takes a while to load).

Over the course of eight releases, Korn have sold over 30 million albums worldwide, inspiring a disciple-like devotion among their fanbase along the way. Korn also notched six Grammy nominations and have won two; one for Best Short Form Music Video for "Freak on a Leash" from 1998's Follow the Leader, as well as one for Best Metal Performance for "Here to Stay" from 2002's Untouchables. They have also been nominated for nine MTV VMAs, having picked up two wins for "Best Rock Video" and "Best Editing" for "Freak on a Leash." Korn also launched their own massively successful touring festival, "The Family Values Tour."

It's beyond evident that Korn are one of a kind and have secured a firm place in the history of rock 'n' roll, thanks to their signature blend of twisted, throbbing guitar riffs, syncopated chaotic funk beats, a schizophrenic bass thump and an unmistakable cathartic howl.

Korn's current lineup is Jonathan Davis (vocals), Fieldy (bass), James "Munky" Shaffer (guitar) and Ray Luzier (drums).

Korn III - Remember Who You Are retains that savage, raw energy that made Korn such a crucial fixture to an entire generation of diehard fans.

The band will spend the summer headlining the third annual Rock Star Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. They will also embark on a South American run, as well as headline the Jagermeister Music Tour in America beforehand.

speaking of roadrunner, really excited for the new glassjaw album too..

great song.. "You think you're john fucking lennon".

Dr. Eugene Felikson

I wish David was still in the band. My expectations for this album are unreasonably high. Oildale is cool and all...but something is off.

I wish JD would stick to pure death growls, and scat. Fieldy's bass is back, that's nice. It would be cool if they would just let Head back in the band too.

I just want my KoRn back! :(

Whatever...

Let The Guilt Go is a definite winner.

Dr. Eugene Felikson

07.08.2010 05:06 PM

Holding All These Lies a fucking jam, but the chorus is pretty weak. I'm definitely digging this new drummer though. Very militant, and precise.

Plus, I can't get enough of the new album art. Perfectly captures the spirit of S/T's, and LIP's covers, while looking very 2010 at the same time. I love it.

The album's not perfect, but it's definitely a worthwhile effort, and a treat for longtime KoRn fans. I'm extremely pleased.

I heard the song Let the Guilt Go? Wasn't to bad. It did remind me of their earlier shit.

I'm gonna start this band + the shit's gonna be SICK! It'll start out w/ some crazy bass line and trible percussion and then this guy behind the 'tables is gonna start scratchin' and then i'm just gonna be all crouched over and miserable lookin' and scream something like "what the fuck" into the mic and then this crazy detuned guitar is gonna come in and the crowd will start moshing and tearing shit up around the venue and i'll have these lyrics talking about how much high school sucked 10 years after the fact and i'll get all the girls + be rich. pointless rebellion, yah!

j/k

I still listen to "pretty" and "lies" sometimes. Those are good songs.

What rebellion has a "point"? Singing about high school and his abuse as a child is a lot more interesting to me than some shitty punk band in a mansion singing about hating the government. It's a hell of a lot more interesting than people singing about sex, or shitty poetry. KoRn has good lyrics... MY GIFT TO YOU is brilliant.

I still prefer lyrics that make little to no sense. open ended shit.

korn used to be OK. There are no facts when it comes to music, only opinions.

He loves the end product, but making the just-released "Korn III -- Remember Who You Are" was "sheer fucking torture and hell" for Korn frontman Jonathan Davis.

Give the credit, or blame, to producer Ross Robinson, Davis tells Billboard.com. Robinson, who also produced Korn's first two albums, dug deep into Davis' angst-filled lyrics, forcing him to confront his demons and at one point even having Davis sing one track as his wife looked on in the studio.

"I'd come in with some lyrics," Davis recalls, "and we'd go through them line by line and talk about everything that was behind them, and [Robinson] would really want to get inside them. And once I'd get in there and start to sing he would use those things against me, like pouring salt on the wound. He got into my head and took me to a very bad place. I relapsed into fucking depression, hard. I got suicidal. I even had my psychiatrist pissed off, wanting to call him and say, 'What are you doing to this poor kid?' It was getting bad when the doctor started to get involved."

Davis -- noting that Robinson also played mind games with drummer Ray Luzier -- says he didn't talk to Robinson "for a long time" after the album was recorded. "But I called him up and said 'thank you,' because he did what he had to do to get this record right. I knew it was necessary, but it was hell."

Less painful, however, was the more organic approach to the album, eschewing sequencers and ProTools in an effort to recapture what Davis calls "the original vibe of those early Korn records...We stripped away all the technology, the bullshit. We did it on two-inch (tape). We didn't use any click tracks, no vocal tuning, none of that bullshit. I didn't stack my vocals like I did on previous records. It's just a simple Korn record...with just drums, bass, guitar, me. It was like a breath of fresh air, and...that's the only way we'll make albums anymore, with Ross or anybody else."

Korn will be co-headlining the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival through mid-August, then heads to Europe for a set of shows that includes the London OZZFest on Sept. 18 as well as some other shows with Ozzy Osbourne in Paris and Milan and a Japanese appearance in October. Davis, meanwhile, is 28 songs deep into a solo album he describes as "world music, like a heavy Peter Gabriel or David Bowie record." He hopes to have out in 2011 but plans some major changes after the "Korn III" experience.

"[The songs] are already recorded, but I'm probably going to re-track them all 'cause I did them on ProTools and shit like that," he explains. "I want to catch that real feel like we did on ['Korn III'], and I'm gonna keep writing more on this [Mayhem] tour. It's very different than Korn; it still has a heavy edge in it, but it's something more."

Let go
And I will truly be free
Just let go
My mind is really the disease
So just go
Enjoy everything I received
So let go
And I will kill this unease

I feel it beating down the fake around me

Well look at this
I see colors now
Look at this
I’m butt ugly now
Happiness
Is seldom found
Pop the pill
I’m so damn happy now

Feeling things crawl on me
I need my fix today
This is way beyond me
I can’t live without you today
You today, you today
