Korn's video for the song "Let The Guilt Go" can be viewed below. The track comes off the band's new album, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", which sold 63,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart.
The band's last, untitled CD opened with 123,000 units back in August 2007 to land at No. 2.
That number was slightly more than half of the 221,000 first-week tally achieved by its predecessor, "See You On The Other Side", which debuted at No. 3 back in December 2005.
"Remember Who You Are" is the band's first album with independent label Roadrunner Records after a two-record stint with EMI Music.
Korn made a deliberate return to its musical roots on "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", which arrived on July 13 and follows up 2007's untitled eighth studio album.
The band even recruited old friend and producer Ross Robinson, who worked on the band's 1994 debut and 1996's "Life Is Peachy", to produce the new record.
Singer Jonathan Davis told The Pulse of Radio why the band decided to go retro. "We felt it was time for us to go back and try and do like an old-school record," he said.
"After 'Peachy', we started, you know, working with different producers and really experimenting, and with Untitled it feels like we've explored all we wanted to explore, and it was time for us to strip things back down again and just write an intense, emotional record."
korn is my absolute favorite band!... but i didn't follow how that video "let the guilt go". i'm not sure the story line included any guilt haha....some girl just exploded or something....?
I don't know that I would say this is "oldskool" Korn. But I like it nonetheless.. Jonathan's vocals are pretty powerful in this one. Interesting video, hah.
That's gotta be one of the worst stories in music video history. Girl is bullied, girl is abducted and turns hot with telekinesis, gets revenge on bullies. I thought the band's performance was stellar though. It'd be cool to see the video with just them playing.
Solid song, and ya, I agree, his vocals were great in this song. The music video is kind of weird but, whatever, it didn't ruin the song for me like some really bad music videos do.
