Korn to take a different direction on new album

93X.com reports Korn will release their new album on December 6th. The album is titled "See you on the other side" and is produced by the Matrix. The Matrix is the same team who produced pop star acts such as Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff. Even though the album will be produced by a non-metal production team, the band commented it sounds really heavy.

The production might be heavy, but Korn may be treading new musical paths. "Parts of See You on the Other Side go in a dark, industrial direction, while other tracks explore more straightforward rock," explains Fieldy.

Korn has already released a single for the new album called, "Twisted Transistor", which Fieldy said fans have heard on the radio and not recognized as Korn. "It's very different from what we're used to doing," said Davis. "When we started this album we totally wanted to reinvent ourselves and do something different, and I think we did with this first single. But not all the songs are like that - there's a lot of different things going on."

"We wanted to make a concept album, and I think this is the closest thing that we have done to that," guitarist Munky Goo said. "It's a bit more progressive and a lot more emotional. It's not so much anger, anger, anger, like on previous Korn albums. It's got sadness and anger and darkness, and lyrically it's kind of a perverted album."

Korn just returned from two months of touring. The band plans to play promotional shows through March, then hit the road on a massive North American tour.
