KORN will release its 11th studio album, titled “The Paradigm Shift”, on October 1. The disc is the first to feature original guitarist Brian “Head” Welch since 2003’s “Take A Look In The Mirror”. With a single nearly ready to drop in two weeks, singer Jonathan Davis told The Pulse Of Radio what the experience was like having Welch back in the studio, making this record extra special.
“‘Untouchables’ used to be my favorite, but this one’s mine now,” he said. “You know, it’s just all those years of work and being able to be in a band this long with the guys. And having Head back bringing, you know, that ole chemistry back with him with Munky [guitarist James Shaffer] on the rock side and I was on the electronic side. It was good having the compromise on both sides. It was just good for the creative process, I think.”
The album’s first single, “Never Never”, drops August 12.
