According to HardDrive Radio, Korn’s new album, “Korn III – Remember Who You Are“, will be released on July 13. The first single from the CD, “Oildale (Leave Me Alone)“, will go for radio adds on May 3-4.
Korn’s ninth offering, “Korn III – Remember Who You Are“, is the band’s first effort for brand new label home, Roadrunner Records, and it bursts at the seams with that very feeling that defined the band from the get-go. Each song unleashes an uneasiness reminiscent of Korn’s earliest and most unbridled material, but there’s also a modern refinement that’s epic in its execution.
Korn bleed with unsettling and unpredictable aggression on “Remember Who You Are“‘s 10 tracks. “Oildale (Leave Me Alone)” buzzes with an eerie clean guitar that slowly gives way to a steamrolling bass and riff assault. “Move On” morphs from a myriad of creaking tones into an explosive vocal freak-out that’s impossible not to connect with it on a visceral level. Then there’s the neck-snapping “Fear Is A Place to Live” tempering deadly guitar dissonance with an unforgettable chorus.
“This album is a reflection of us being a band since 1993,” says vocalist Jonathan Davis. “We worked hard on the previous records, and we experimented a lot. For ‘Remember Who You Are’, the four of us got together in a small room with the intention of writing an old-school KORN record. This album is a perfect mixture of everything we’ve done, and this version of the band is the best ever.”
