Korn Revolutionize Music With 'The Path Of Totality' - Track-By-Track Breakdown Video Available!

By now you probably heard that Korn has just released a NEW album entitled "The Path Of Totality". And while it is definitely not a Heavy Metal album, everything about the creation of Korn's 10th studio album is pretty damn Metal. How so? Well, being Metal means that you are a rebel at heart and that you will do whatever you want without caring what others think. We truly admire Korn's courage for going against the grain and once again revolutionizing music. Our advice to all of you out there: stop being so hardheaded and open up your mind!

This week our good friends from Revolver Magazine picked Korn's "The Path Of Totality" as their record of the year. Soon after they announced this, members of the media (who shall remain nameless), attacked them for choosing an album that again is definitely not a Heavy Metal album. Some even called them out for just caring about making money. Newsflash: if Revolver only cared about money, they wouldn't be in the publishing business anymore! And while everyone is entitled to their own opinion, lets be respectful towards each other. If you don't like their pick for album of the year, feel free to argue back but make sure you do it a professional, constructive and educational way!

Revolver Magazine: Are you surprised to receive this honor for an electronic album?

Jonathan Davis: Yeah. It is fucking crazy, but it’s still rock. I executive produced it—that’s what they called it—and my whole job was to keep the integrity of both sides of the music intact and finding that balance. It’s still a Korn record–you can’t deny it’s a Korn record–but there’s those subtle, and sometimes there’s a lot of the dubstep influence, and drum and bass. It’s not that we were going for a dubstep record, there’s all styles of electronic music on this. There’s dubstep, drum and bass, electro, it’s all kinds of different kinds of music. My job was to fit the pieces in and arrange them into song form and then figure out how the fuck I was gonna sing over them and all that stuff. It’s a rock record, but it’s got electronic influences.

While we don't believe that Korn's "The Path Of Totality" is the record of the year, we do believe that is the most original album of the year in Heavy Music. "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.

"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. This is what vocalist Jonathan Davis had to say about Korn's new musical project.
