KORN frontman
Jonathan Davis was interviewed by the Fort Worth, Texas radio station
KDGE The Edge 102.1 FM prior to the band's May 9, 2009 performance at the
Edgefest at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, Texas. Watch the chat at
this location.
KORN has been working on material for a new album with the band's original producer
Ross Robinson.
Davis told
The Pulse of Radio that the group intends to get back to the sound of its early CDs. "It's gonna be very raw, it's gonna be old school like the first
KORN records," he said. "Basically, it's gonna be recorded as a four-piece band, with just
Munky on guitars and
Fieldy [bass] and
Ray [
Luzier; drums] and me. We really want to go back to that old-school vibe. It was just really intense and emotional and, you know, I have a lot of built-up aggression toward certain things that I need to get out for this record."
Davis said that many of the lyrics on the upcoming album will deal with the topic of organized religion.
Ex-
KORN guitarist
Brian "Head" Welch left the band after becoming a born-again Christian, and
Fieldy discusses his conversion to Christianity in a memoir that was published in March.
The band will be looking for a home for the yet-to-be-titled disc since completing its two-album deal with
Virgin Records in 2007.
