Ex-KORN Guitarist BRIAN 'HEAD' WELCH: New Audio Sample Available

August 13, 2008

An audio sample of a new track from former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch entitled "Rebel" is available for streaming on his MySpace page. The song comes off Welch's forthcoming debut solo album entitled "Save Me From Myself", which is scheduled for release on September 9 via Driven Music Group/H2C Records, and distributed by Ryko/Warner Music Group. The CD's first single, "Flush", was made available exclusively via iTunes on July 8.

Brian "Head" Welch was one of the guest speakers at the Cornerstone Festival on July 5, 2008 in Bushnell, Illinois. Video footage of his speech can be viewed below.

Cornerstone is one of the most popular Christian music festivals in the United States.

Welch's memoir, "Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story", rocketed into the New York Times bestsellers list after its first week of publication last year, debuting at #20 on the "Non-Fiction" list.

For more than a decade, Brian "Head" Welch was lead guitarist for the controversial rock band KORN, but in early 2005 he shocked the international music community when he abruptly quit the band and announced that he had been saved by Jesus Christ. His announcement in front of 10,000 people in Bakersfield, California set off a media frenzy, as people from around the world sought to understand what led this rock star into the light.

In the book, Welch talks for the first time about how his tumultuous life with the band led to his surprising decision to quit KORN.
