Korn frontman Jonathan Davis said the band “failed miserably” with their 2010 album, Korn III: Remember Who You Are. During a new interview with Music Feeds, Davis said, “That was hard because we were trying to recapture something and it was way in the past and we failed miserably. I mean, I like the record, but it wasn't fun to make because (producer) Ross (Robinson) was doing his methods and he really turned them on really hard. And it was just a fu**ed up, weird time in the band when we did that.”
Davis previously told us that Korn III just didn't work. He explained, “I think with Korn III it was something we wanted to do just to see what happened if we worked with Ross again, and it came out but it seemed kind of forced. Seemed like he was on a mission to take us back to '94, '95. It wasn't a pleasant experience for me. Not that it was Ross's fault, 'cause I love him to death, but I think it was kind of forced. It just proved to us when we did that record that we need to experiment and keep doing what we're doing. We're not scared to try new things and different things.”
Korn will release their new album, called Requiem, tomorrow (Friday, February 4th). Tonight (Thursday, February 3rd), Korn will livestream a live show called the “Requiem Mass” beginning at 8 p.m. PT on their YouTube channel. The performance will stream from the Hollywood United Methodist Church in Los Angeles, CA.
