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.

Here is the track-by-track breakdown:



Track-listing of "The Path of Totality":

1. "Chaos Lives in Everything"
2. "Kill Mercy Within"
3. "My Wall"
4. "Narcissistic Cannibal"
5. "Illuminati"
6. "Burn the Obedient"
7. "Sanctuary"
8. "Let's Go"
9. "Get Up!"
10. "Way Too Far"
11. "Bleeding Out"

The album is available now in two configurations: 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, California. 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.

Korn Premiere Music Video for "Get Up"!

Korn is ready to once again revolutionize the ears of the Heavy Music fans with the release of their tenth studio album titled "The Path of Totality" (set to be released on December 6th via Roadrunner Records). 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.

In anticipation of their upcoming release, the band recently premiered their music video for "Get Up". The song is one of the tracks that will be part of on "The Path of Totality". The song is a collaboration between the band and dubstep's hottest producer, Skrillex. It was also 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.

"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. 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." - Jonathan Davis

KORN Announce NEW Album Details & US Tourdates!

The story behind Bakersfield, California's Korn is one like none-other. Formed in 1993 after the demise of L.A.P.D., which featured part of the bands current lineup. The minute Korn released their self-titled first album, the Heavy Music world was changed forever. Arguably considered the godfathers of Nu Metal, the band keeps reinventing their musical craft album after album.

With nine studio albums under their belt, Korn is ready to once again revolutionize the ears of the Heavy Music fans with the release of their tenth studio album titled "The Path of Totality" (set to be released on December 6th via Roadrunner Records).

"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 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 (which you can watch below) has generated nearly two million views and counting. The song was a top 10 rock radio hit.

"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." - James "Munky" Shaffer

- "Narcissistic Cannibal"
