Ex-KORN Guitarist BRIAN 'HEAD' WELCH's Solo Debut Lands On Billboard Chart

September 17, 2008

Former KORN guitarist Brian "Head" Welch's debut solo album, "Save Me From Myself", has sold 7,800 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 63 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Save Me From Myself" was released on September 9 through Driven Music Group (distribution by Ryko/Warner Music Group),the label he co-founded with music execs Greg Shanaberger and Mark Nawara. The CD was produced by Head, who recorded the music off and on for the past two years in Phoenix, Arizona. It features renowned musicians Tony Levin (PETER GABRIEL, DAVID BOWIE) and Josh Freese (A PERFECT CIRCLE, NINE INCH NAILS),and was mixed by Ralph Patlan and Bob Clearmountain. It's a testimony of Head's life as he battled with drug addiction and leaving KORN, and finding spirituality.

01. L.O.V.E. (6:31)

"Flush", the new video from Brian "Head" Welch, can be viewed below. The clip was directed by Frankie Nasso of Nova Entertainment (MUDVAYNE, HATEBREED, ALL THAT REMAINS, WALLS OF JERICHO). According to a press release, "the storyline takes a surprising turn away from what the conservative press would expect from Head and his spiritual awakening and takes an in-your-face, gritty, but very honest look at the depths to which individuals will go to satisfy their drug/alcohol addictions or other vices. Wrapped with footage of real-life stories, and overlayed with other innuendo, Head's performance steals the picture and will answer anyone's questions as to whether he can still rock as hard or harder than his earlier days in KORN."
