FREAKS ON VIDEO: KORN spent a December afternoon in a Los Angeles soundstage shooting the video for "Freak On A Leash" the second radio track from their double platinum FOLLOW THE LEADER album (Immortal/Epic). In an interesting note, three directors have been brought on board this time to lense the clip; "Spawn" creator Todd McFarlane (who also designed FOLLOW THE LEADER's cover artwork) and the team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (known for their award-winning work with the Smashing Pumpkins). The "mini-movie" style video will be a combination of performance footage mixed with Todd McFarlane's animation and conceptual footage shot by Dayton & Faris of the band to create a seamless transition between the real world and the surreal one. The story begins and ends as a living, breathing extension of the FOLLOW THE LEADER album cover, taking the viewer on a journey from a KORN/McFarlane conceived anti-establishment dreamland to a hard rock reality and back again. Look for the clip to hit the airwaves early February. In touring news, KORN are gearing up to kick off their "Rock Is Dead" tour with Rob Zombie and Videodrone on February 26 in Tucson.
