Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has insisted that fans are going to hate the band's new dubstep record.

The heavy metal group recently confirmed plans to release a new album titled The Path Of Totality, which has been totally produced by dubstep artists.

However, Davis has told Kerrang! that Korn have become tired of being solely known as "the godfathers of nu-metal" and claimed some of their fans are stuck in the past.

"People are going to be p*ssed about this record. That's made me even more excited about it," Davis explained.

"I don't give a flying f**k what people think. We can't win with Korn fans. Some are so stuck in 1994."

He added: "Everybody calls us the godfathers of nu-metal and I'm f**king tired of that. We don't want to join the nostalgia circuit. Us, Limp Bizkit, Staind or some s**t like that. F**k that."

Davis described the band's new sound as "future metal" and believes they have invented a new genre of music.

Talking about their recent single with Skrillex, he said: "'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the f**k up and have some fun.

"Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving."

Korn's new LP The Path Of Totality will be released on December 5.

Davis previously admitted that he felt suicidal when writing the band's last album Korn III - Remember Who You Are.

Davis described the band's new sound as "future metal" and believes they have invented a new genre of music.

The singer added that he believed his band had invented a new genre of music on the album, which he calls "future metal" and revealed that the band's recent single 'Get Up' was inspired by his hatred of everybody moaning about the recession.

He said of this:

'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

poor millionaire rock star having to listening to real peoples problems.
what a cunt

'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

omg

anyway this sounds like all their other music

korn from a city w/ a 13.7% unemployment rate

I knew this would sound like shit Pitchshifter. With more wibble wobble.

you mean it sounds like shite? otm then

xp
he always was a prick but that recession quote really does elevate him to the highest level. Hope he goes bankrupt.

I like the way the LULU press campaign has forced other bands to step up their game and give us something to laugh at.

i wish i had put the recession quote in the title, could a kindly mod please do it?

Jonathon Davis otm

wouldn't expect anything less from a bro-y, conservative SoCal asshole like Davis, pretty typical honestly

According to Korn frontman Jonathan Davis dubstep is “the future; it’s the new hip-hop, it’s the new metal, it’s the new everything.”

In an interview with MTV Hive Davis claims that “Metal shows are all hate, like, “I’m going to fuck you up in the mosh pit.” Electronic shows are all peace and love. They rage harder than metal fans. I played a show in New York and then watched [big Day Out Bolier room headliner] Nero who sold out Webster Hall. That crowd went ten times harder than any metal crowd I’ve seen in my life.”

“I watched the show from the stage and it was like watching an old Gary Numan show. The way the whole production was set up. It was just so cool. Kids are picking up on it now because they’ve never seen anything like that before. I’m forty years old, I saw Gary Numan do the ‘80s and all the other acts from back then. How cool music was back then. This felt fresh and cool like the ‘80s. There are so many different sub-genres and shit going on.”

Korn’s dubstep album The Path of Totality is due out next month and features the typically ridiculous song including Chaos Lives In Everything, Narcissistic Cannibal and Burn The Obedient.

Davis also laughed off a question about the possibility of Glee using Korn songs in his chat with MTV Hive, taking a very different stance to Dave Grohl, Slash and the Kings of Leon – “If someone wants to use one of our songs and do it well then I don’t care. People take themselves way too fucking seriously, I swear to god.”

Davis otm again

anyway this sounds like all their other music

yeah, those songs aren't any different structurally from other Korn songs... don't really take advantage of dubstep/bass music's intro->drop pattern - too many bridges - when there was certainly opportunity to, considering that pattern's not so different from the anthemic post-Nirvana quiet-verse/loud-chorus structure you had in a lot of postgrunge/numetal tunes

i honestly cant wait to hear this (guilty pleasure)

'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

omg

This is the same Jonathan Davis who has been whining about how much his life sucks for ten albums now?

He's no longer stuck in 1994, back when life was oh-so-hard.

I hate Black Metal and all the trash talking underground bands that hate anything that has rap in it!

im sure he still moans how shit life is in his music until now

Korn was birthed eighteen years ago. That said, if Korn was a person, Korn would be able to vote. Who would Korn vote for in the upcoming presidential election?

I’m just waiting for a non-Illuminati candidate to run.

You think they’re all part of the Illuminati?

I’m all about the Illuminati conspiracies. I read all about it and it makes sense. Watching the things happen that they said they said would happen. The European Union started out and then there was North American Union — Canada, Mexico, us — and the Amero. It’s crazy how many times I watch how they directly put us in recessions so that these other big banking companies could take over banks. Did you notice how many Chase [banks] have popped up since the recession? You know that Chase used to be Standard Oil back in the day? They helped fund hit-men in WWII. It’s all connected. It all makes sense. They do this to try to take our rights away. The biggest one was when they started the Department of Homeland Security. There was someone else who did that. His name was Adolf Hitler when he started the Gestapo. It was the same exact fucking thing. He said it was for the security of the country, the Gestapo would protect him and the security of the country. It’s the same shit if you look back and read it. Look it up on the internet — all this Illuminati shit. All this shit pops up and you’ll be like, “Oh my god. This is all happening in front of me and I don’t even realize what’s going on.”

I mean, I get date-raped every time I go through a fucking airport. [Laughs.] Just because I have these pants on that have some metal on them, they play with my junk. I’m like, “You must love your job. Touching dicks all day.” It’s like, what the hell?

So basically Korn, the teenager, wouldn’t vote.

Why? It’s rigged anyways. It’s all about electoral votes anyways. The way we set up our elections are by whether the state wins. That’s the electoral vote. It’s like how Bush got elected. His brother rigged the election. It was by two-hundred votes or something ridiculous. You know that his brother did that and that’s how they got in. Listen, I’ve never been a political person but I’m all about what’s really going on.

The introduction of cellphones is our Big Brother now. They can know at any time where you are and what you got when you have your cellphone on. Everyone has one. They can track you and all this other stuff — it’s like having a chip put on you. It’s crazy.

It’s just that everyone is so desperate because everyone is so broke or broken mentally in this country right now. They’re going to chip us all. I mean, we’ll be all chipped and all of our credit, our money, is going to be on that chip. And if you go against the government they can turn off all your money and they can just destroy you. Sorry, I know I sound crazy. People think I’m crazy about all the Illuminati stuff but…

I’m sure there are other people who share your view. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion.

It’s crazy. Obama is Illuminati proper. I did a song on the album called “Illuminati.” He got in and got the most money ever, that any president has ever spent, and why? All the banks are taking over. Unemployment is going down. Shit happened in Germany when Hitler came around. I talk to my tour manager about this all the time. It’s crazy. That’s how they do it. They just push the country to near death — unemployment, nobody can survive — and then some guy comes along with the promise of new jobs or whatever and everyone looks to him. And then he becomes a crazy dictator or whatever. That’s just how it’s done. If you just look at how history repeats itself — it’s been happening for thousands of years.

Just check out the Iluminati. Actually, my family…

…is part of the Illuminati?

Yeah, they were part of the Illuminati; the Davises from Wales. I went on Ancestory.com – that’s another one of my hobbies, looking up my ancestory. I found a Griffith Davis that came over from Wales to America and is part of my family. My son actually showed it to me. They were the Davies at the time and changed it to Davis when they came to America. Anyways, [my son] was like “Dad, our family at the time was part of the original Illuminati when it was set up back when the Catholic Church was in power … and the masons and all that.” I was like, “Wow, things are getting weird.” Things are getting weirder every day.

I get date-raped every time I go through a fucking airport. [Laughs.]

what does Jonathan Davis have on his ipod every time he gets date-raped going through a fucking airport?

Maybe people wouldn't touch his dick if he went to the flying airport instead of the fucking airport

these interviews are unbelievable

A+ thread so far

"Shit happened in Germany when Hitler came around. I talk to my tour manager about this all the time."

i wonder if that's this man?

http://www.vhjmusic.com/tour.html

hmm maybe not

Still don't see what this has to do with dubstep in any sense 'cause it sure as hell doesn't sound like it in any way shape of form.

(That said, going over some old tracks by Mala and the like, I'm kind of shocked at how plain and normal that all sounds to me now. I mean, just comparing that to back in 2006/2007, when I may not have liked it, but when it definitely sounded very fresh and different. Granted, that was largely musical ignorance on my part, but nevertheless, I wonder if - and instinctively doubt - that any of that sense of differentness comes across to midwestern Skrillex ravers).

lol here we go

korn vs dubstep

vs

linkin park vs jay-z

i just wonder if chester/mike are in a bad mood cos korn cracked the dubstep moodswing before they did.

.. and while this match up is LOLfun i have to say, i suspect i will be tempted to grab this when fopp drop the price to a fiver.

It's the best thing Korn have ever done. Take that any way you want.

i sort of liked their matrix album, so i'm good to go on this 'new' direction aren't i ..

if korn are working with skrillex i dread to think who linkin park will work with on their next album

It’s a rare expression of politics by Davis, who told MTV in 2006 that he wrote the song “Politics” because “It’s just about how I don’t like to talk about politics…Korn has never been a real political band.”

'Get Up' is about the recession. I wish everyone would shut the fuck up and have some fun. Every day I've got to hear about unemployment and people starving.

Anyone know the sales figures for this album? If it had sold several million then no doubt fred durst and others would have jumped on the bandwagon. Are we safe?

i don't think fred durst's next move is anything you need to be worrying about in 2012

... unless you're a hot young starlet who inadvertently left your drink unattended next to him in a sleazy Hollywood bar.

sold significantly less than every other korn album

it's insane that this is korn's 10th album by the way -- there's no way any other major label rock band has cranked out that many studio albums since 1994

Seriously!

This is their best album since their debut, it's a shame they couldn't make it pop off

what a wavelenth he's on. pure dickhead energy. the musical equivalent of some bonehead revving his lifted pickup at people

*wavelength :/

He's 41 years old. Totally ragin against the dyin of the bitch-ass light motherfucker brought to you by ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK.

i suspect i will be tempted to grab this when fopp drop the price to a fiver.

this week i relented at 6 quid for the deluxe edition (live dvd + extra tracks)

and as i expected, i love it.

totally hits the spot for me.

I was wondering the other day - was there ever a sociological or political impetus behind the whole boneheaded-jock-metal-extreme-sportz stereotype that came between post-grunge and emo, and encompassed everything from Limp Bizkit to Eminem to Tom Green?
It feels as though, with every big US rock movement, there's often a whole tribal mentality going on: with grunge it was about internalised self-loathing and deprecation, anti-machismo, anti-excess etc, whereas the nu-metal thing was more a bratty and aimless lashing-out at middle-class suburban boredom epitomised by songs like 'Break Stuff'. And then with emo, it all got internalised again. Are these scenes just backlashes against each other - grunge as an answer to hair-metal, nu-metal an answer to grunge, emo an answer to nu-metal? Or is there a deeper reasoning behind these? Could 9/11 have killed nu-metal? Was the early-90s economic downturn partly responsible for grunge asceticism?

i really like this one.

so, is this album a one off, or, did any other metal/industrial bands try this type of stuff out ?

i suspect there are loads of metal bands adding drops/electronics, but i am old and need some pointers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa5MI12CgMo

a lot of the nu-metalcore bands I can't really get behind seem to have pretty heavy electronic elements

i would love some band names as i have absolutely no idea, but need a starting point other than this lot and LP of course.
screamcore vocal bands are not of interest.

Progenie Terrestre Pura did a bit of wubbing on their last album, and have a lot of electronics anyway... if you mean "screamcore" as in anything with harsh vocals they might not be for you but that's all I've got sorry :/
