Korn Guitarist Discusses New Band

KORN guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer has issued the following update:

"Let me start by saying I am not leaving KORN. I started this project because I want to express myself musically and show the world a different side of me, creatively.I want to thank all the fans that are willing to take a listen and choose for themselves.

"Right now I have 13 tracks done and I am currently working on the vocals. It is a challenge for me but I love it and my heart is in to it.

"I am sorry to say that FEAR AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM will not be coming out on August 8, 2008. I don't want to rush this project and I want it to be the best it can be so please be patient and I won't let you down.

"Just to let everyone know, Wes Borland [BLACK LIGHT BURNS, ex-LIMP BIZKIT] will not be featured on the album. I love and respect Wes Borland and we have worked together but his priority is with BLACK LIGHT BURNS — which I love and wish everyone would take the time to listen to. Wes has inspired me to express myself like he has but since we only had a limited time to work together. The tracks that he played on did not make the cut for the record. However, he is still involved in this project — he painted the amazing cover art and I can't wait for everyone to see it."
