Bio:

The members of Korn built an immortal bond back in 1993 the first time that Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and Brian "Head" Welch decided to make music as a unit. They shed blood, sweat, and tears in the studio and on stage, fashioning an undeniable, unsettling, and unique sound that would permanently alter the course of rock music. After six seminal releases, two Grammy Award wins, countless sold out shows, and eventually selling 35 million albums worldwide, Head left the group in 2004 to face down the demons of addiction on his own. Korn soldiered on, permanently adding drummer Ray Luzier to the fold in 2007and releasing four more epic full-length releases, most recently 2011's groundbreaking dubstep-metal hybrid The Path of Totality. In 2012, a triumphant and tear-filled reunion happened on stage as the group headlined the Carolina Rebellion festival with Head reprising his legendary part on "Blind." The initial bond came back into focus, but it was time to change the game again. It was time for their eleventh studio album The Paradigm Shift. Recorded with producer Don Gilmore [Linkin Park], it melds the group's ever-present spirit of innovation with their signature metallic catharsis, paving the way for the future yet again.

Album:

The Serenity of Suffering is the upcoming twelfth studio album by nu metal band Korn, which is expected to be released on October 21, 2016.According to guitarist Brian Welch, it will be "heavier than anyone's heard us in a long time" and that it will contain their most intense music in a long time vocally as well.The artwork contains elements of Korn's fourth album, Issues, and was created by Ron English.Korn regain their focus and release their best album in 15 years.Untouchables was supposed to take Korn’s career to the next level. It was supposed to be their Black Album, and they followed its blueprint to the letter. They brought their production to new heights; turning in a huge polished sound that was in direct contrast to their previous releases. They also significantly diversified their style, especially the riffs, and brought hooks and melody to the forefront. For whatever reason, though, Untouchables didn’t drastically increase the band’s fan base, and they have been looking for a direction ever since. Korn have had a couple of ‘back-to-roots’ releases, a couple of ‘flavor-of-the-week’ electronic albums, and a few by-the-numbers albums – and none of them were very good. It also didn’t help matters when the band’s most prolific songwriter jumped ship after Take a Look in the Mirror. This left the remaining members without the ability to do much more than meander through their own tired sound while trying to stay relevant. That relevance didn’t come until their guitar player returned for the release of The Paradigm Shift.Have you ever got back together with an ex after an extended breakup, and noticed that those first few interactions were cordial to the point of being uncomfortable? That’s how I imagine the recording sessions for The Paradigm Shift. Nobody was willing to rock the boat or push anyone outside of their comfort zone, and the end result was a safe, sterile release – one that was still better than the four previous releases lacking Brian Welch. So, the band regained their relevance and their guitar player, but the music still didn’t justify the renewed interest. With the release of The Serenity of Suffering, Korn finally have the music to validate the renewed hype. There’s groove, crushing bottom end, diverse riffs, melody and hooks, and a top-notch performance from Jonathan Davis. If I had to make a comparison, The Serenity of Suffering honestly sounds like the spiritual successor to Korn’s most complete release, Untouchables, combined with the visceral edge of Take a Look in the Mirror.Much like Untouchables, The Serenity of Suffering features a huge polished production, solid hooks and melodies, and a powerfully heavy bottom end. It also features a diverse range of sounds, styles and experimentation. The first two tracks display Korn’s archetypical sound at its finest. There’s plenty of lumbering bass, fat rhythmic riffs, and a ton of angst from Jonathan Davis. While being quintessential Korn songs, both ‘Insane’ and ‘Rotting in Vain’ step beyond the bland back-to-roots crap the band have been peddling by approaching that core sound from different angles and doing so with a sense of potency. The Serenity of Suffering isn’t just another attempt at reliving the glory days, though. Beginning with the third track, ‘Black is the Soul’, the band begin to diversify beyond their core sound. ‘Black is the Soul’ is a slower rhythmic track that features Jonathan Davis singing over a keyboard/guitar melody that is carried by an undulating, cyclic bass line. Of course, there’s a quick visceral part in the middle of the song, but what is Korn without a little random anger.As the album carries on, I hear a lot of Untouchables influence in the diversity of the songs, as well as the strong sense of melody and hooks, but I also hear an aggressive edge that hasn’t really been this pronounced since Take a Look in the Mirror. This is especially apparent in Jonathan Davis’ vocals which include singing, screams and quite a bit of guttural growls (often times layered one over the other). The riffs, too, are more powerful than they have been in a long time; from the atonal squeal scattered throughout ‘Everything Falls Apart’ to the twitchy back-and-forth on ‘Next in Line’. On the flipside, just about every song also features a chorus that can hook on first listen as well as a prominent sense of melody – especially on album closer ‘Out of You’. There are other songs such as ‘Die Yet Another Night’ that feature new facets of Korn’s sound – from the twitchy guitar lead that opens the song to the borderline thrash of the main riff – that show they’re still not done being creative within their chosen framework.If your stance on Korn is one born of cynicism, then there’s probably nothing the band could do to win you over. Jonathan still wears his angsty feelings on his sleeve, and the core Korn sound is still very much present, but it is being done better than it has in nearly fifteen years. It seems the band have taken stock of their 20+ year career and selected the parts that would best work for them today and combined them with some newer ideas and fresh sounds. The result, to me, sounds like a natural evolution from their best release, Untouchables, with stronger songwriting and a significant increase in aggression. The Serenity of Suffering is easily Korn’s most diverse release; featuring melody, aggression, new sounds and old staples in just about equal measures wrapped into some of the band’s strongest songs in years.
