According to Blabbermouth.net, audio samples of all 11 tracks that are set to appear on "The Path Of Totality", the forthcoming tenth studio album from Korn, can be streamed in the YouTube clip below. The CD will be released on December 6 via Roadrunner Records.
"The Path Of Totality" is an experimental album which finds Korn shifting gears and exploring new territory. That should hardly come as a shock to the band's diehard fans, as Korn exploded onto the scene in the'90s and established themselves as hard rock game-changers from that point on.
For "The Path Of Totality", the band collaborated with some of the leading dubstep and electronic producers in the world, including Skrillex, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill The Noise, and 12th Planet. The result is something completely new, yet utterly and definitively Korn. Leave it to a band like Korn to continue to reinvent itself two decades deep into its career.
"The title 'The Path Of Totality' refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time," Korn frontman Jonathan Davis explained. "That's how this album came together. I think all the producers feel the same way. I'm not sure it could ever happen again"
"The Path Of Totality" track listing:
01. Chaos Lives In Everything 02. Kill Mercy Within 03. My Wall 04. Narcisstic Cannibal 05. Illuminati 06. Burn The Obedient 07. Sanctuary 08. Let's Go 09. Get Up! 10. Way Too Far 11. Bleeding Out
I kinda dig this - there is a couple of really descent songs on this album - I was never really a Korn fan, nor a dubstep fan - but this kinda works for me - all that energy.
I've loved Korn since the 90's and when they said they were going all dubstep I was wary, but I gotta say I'm actually impressed. Sounds a lot better than I thought it would. I was afraid it would sound like dubstep with Jon singing over it, but it still very much sounds like Korn.
Particularly impressed with the drums in "Burn the Obedient"... love that kick pattern he used.
At first I thought this album would be horrible and after hearing "Sanctuary", I was pretty sure of it..
Glad I chose to get it! Really suprised the hell out of me! Great album, I found it really heavy compared to their lastest three albums. Absolutely love it!
