Korn have announced their 14th studio album with a new song.
The follow-up to 2019's 'The Nothing' is called 'Requiem' and will arrive on February 4 via their new label Loma Vista Recordings.
It's previewed by the lead single, Start The Healing, which finds the nu-metallers exploring their melodic side, driven by an industrial groove and guided by frontman Jonathan Davis' alternately airy and roared vocals.
The track arrives with a cinematic sci-fi-themed video directed by frequent Run The Jewels collaborator Tim Saccenti. He commented:
"Our idea for this video was to mutate that aspect of the DNA of Korn, of what makes them so inspiring, their mix of raw power and transportive aesthetics and human emotion.
"I wanted to take the viewer on an emotional journey, as the song does, a visceral, cathartic death and rebirth that will hopefully help transport the listener through whatever their personal struggles are.
"Collaborating with 3-D artist Anthony Ciannamea we tapped into Korn's mythology and explored their vast well of light and darkness to create a surreal, liminal-pace body-horror nightmare."
Korn will play rescheduled co-headline shows with System Of A Down in Los Angeles in February, ahead of their short run of European festival dates in summer 2022.

1. Forgotten
