Saturated Loneliness (Tearjerker)KORN's new effort was produced by
Matrix (
AVRIL LAVIGNE,
THE MOONEY SUZUKI) and
Atticus Ross (
BAD RELIGION,
NINE INCH NAILS,
PINK). Vocalist
Jonathan Davis credits these co-producers with helping him free even more of his inner demons in his lyrics.
"I've written seven albums worth of shit, and I have my style, but I wanted something different, not the typical lyrics that I always write,"
Davis said in a press statement. "I want to come out and say things in a different way, so getting those different people around me, with their different perspectives and different talents, really helped a lot. I've always had a problem getting across what I'm trying to say, because I'm always limited to what I can do within the phrasing and melody of the lyric, but they helped me a lot with that, without losing our vibe.
"We knew we wanted to experiment and see what would happen, but we had no clue it would end up like this," laughed
Davis. "It really worked out — we might have lost a member, but we gained another two with
Atticus and
Matrix."
The cover artwork for <
"See You on the Other Side", has been posted online at
KornUnleashed.net. The art was designed by
David Stoupakis, who was also responsible for the cover of
KORN's
"Twisted Transistor" single.
"See You on the Other Side" is scheduled for release on December 6 through a global partnership with
EMI/
Virgin Records. This innovative multiple rights joint venture deal is among the first of its kind in the music industry.
In addition to their record deal,
KORN and
EMI Music have established a joint venture company in which
EMI and
Virgin Records will partner with
KORN on the band's non-recording activities such as the band's DVD sales, music publishing, touring, merchandise, sponsorship and any other band activities such as film, TV, book or video game projects. The deal which offers
KORN unprecedented artistic freedom, enables the group to be more innovative in the multi-platform release of music.
KORN have been leaders in this arena, beginning with the
KORN TV online campaign in 1998 to more recently when they were the first band to simulcast a live concert in 2002 into movie theaters across the U.S.
KORN are one of the most popular hard rock acts in the world today with a dedicated fan base and widely acclaimed live performances. They have sold a total of 25 million albums worldwide to date, 14 million of which were in the U.S. Their last four albums debuted in the top three of the Billboard Top 200, with two of them having entered the chart at No. 1.
