For KORN, their 12th studio album THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING–out today, October 21 (Roadrunner Records)–represents the trajectory of the band in its entirety, with a clear look to the future. Capitalising on their artistic bond and deep history to pull through the darkness, the band were able to work in new ways to create a modern record that reinvents their iconic sound in a fresh and exciting way.
Since the summer, as the multi-platinum 2x Grammy Award-winning band made their way across America on co-headlining sold-out tours with Rob Zombie (Return of the Dreads) and Breaking Benjamin (Nocturnal Underground), album cuts “Rotting In Vain,” “Insane,” “A Different World” featuring Corey Taylor and “Take Me” emerged and were heavily embraced by media and fans alike. Collectively their videos garnered over 15 million views on YouTube and have been streamed 10 million times. At radio, “Rotting In Vain” is charting at #4 on Active Rock and continues to hold tight after 13 weeks at #4 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs chart.
Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon), THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING is highlighted by a return to a dual-guitar dynamic and some of front man Jonathan Davis’ most inspired moments of self-reflection and expression. It finds KORN—who is also James “Munky” Shaffer (guitar), Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu (bass), Brian “Head” Welch (guitar) and Ray Luzier (drums)–harnessing all the anger, power and trademark balance of darkness and light that made their name all those years ago.
Korn will be back in the UK in December with Limp Bizkit and Madball!
