“‘A Different World’ is the descent into darkness we deserve in 2016.”
– Mashable “The ultimate collaboration has arrived-listen to Korn’s new song, ‘A Different World,’ which features Slipknot’s Corey Taylor…”
– Alternative Press As the October 21 release of KORN‘s 12th studio album THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING draws near, the multi-platinum two-time Grammy-winning rock band has made available a third song from the album, “A Different World.” The new track–featuring Corey Taylor of Slipknot–can now be heard at:
Spotify: http://flyt.it/KORNADW-SP
Look for its accompanying video to be unveiled Wednesday, October 5.
Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon), the album 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. THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING finds KORN harnessing all the anger, power and trademark balance of darkness and light that made their name all those years ago.

The album’s first single “Rotting In Vain” has been streamed over two million times and is now Top 5 at Rock Radio. The single’s macabre video–which has almost seven million views–stars “Sons of Anarchy” actor Tommy Flanagan along with KORN and taps into the dark underbelly of a bizarre world. View the video–lensed by famed rock video director Dean Karr–now here: https://youtu.be/nq9j1qkj2Vc.
Also off the forthcoming album is “Insane,” with its heavily distorted riffs and bloodcurdling deep growls. Its video-now with over four million views–was directed by Ryan Valdez and is a ghastly take on post-mortem photography or ‘memento mori,’ the practice of preserving loved ones after death with images. View the video here: https://youtu.be/P-zb4C_k7EkKORN—Jonathan Davis (vocals), James “Munky” Shaffer (guitar), Brian “Head” Welch (guitar), Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu (bass) and Ray Luzier (drums)-recently launched the “Nocturnal Underground” fall arena tour sharing co-headlining duties with Breaking Benjamin and featuring special guests Motionless In White and Silver Snakes. Additionally, KORN is set to appear at Louder Than Life and the Aftershock Festival in October. On release date (October 21), the band will perform a special invitation-only show for SiriusXM at the beautifully ornate Theatre at Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. The performance will air live on SiriusXM’s Octane channel.

About KORN:
KORN built an immortal bond in 1993 the first time Jonathan Davis, James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, and Brian “Head” Welch decided to make music as a unit. They shed blood, sweat, and tears in the studio and on stage, fashioning an undeniable and unique sound that would permanently alter the course of rock music. After six seminal releases, two Grammy Awards, countless sold out shows, and selling 35 million albums worldwide, Head left the group in 2004 to face the demons of addiction. KORN soldiered on, adding drummer Ray Luzier in 2007 and releasing four more full-length releases. In 2012, a triumphant and tear-filled reunion happened on stage as the group headlined the Carolina Rebellion Festival with Head reprising his legendary part on “Blind.” The initial bond came back into focus, and it was time for their next studio album, The Paradigm Shift, which seamlessly melds the group’s ever-present spirit of innovation with their signature metallic catharsis, paving the way for the future yet again. In 2014, KORN started their 20th anniversary celebrations, playing their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album in its entirety. The shows were so well received, the group continued the festivities into 2015, performing the record on tour to fans around the world. Look for KORN to release their twelfth album The Serenity of Suffering this October.
