KORN Bassist Interviewed In New York

May 15, 2010

Elliot Levin of the New York Hard Rock Examiner conducted an interview with KORN bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu prior to the band's May 9, 2010 concert at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. Watch the chat below.

Read a review of the concert at this location.

According to Billboard.com, KORN's new single, "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)", debuted on the Rock Songs chart at No. 41. The track netted 1.9 million first-week audience impressions on 79 stations, according to Nielsen BDS.

"Oildale (Leave Me Alone)", the opening track from KORN's new album, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", is available for streaming below. The CD is tentatively due on July 13 via Roadrunner Records.

KORN's ninth offering, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", is the band's first effort for brand new label home, Roadrunner Records, and it bursts at the seams with that very feeling that defined the band from the get-go. Each song unleashes an uneasiness reminiscent of KORN's earliest and most unbridled material, but there’s also a modern refinement that's epic in its execution.

KORN bleed with unsettling and unpredictable aggression on "Remember Who You Are"'s 10 tracks. "Oildale (Leave Me Alone)" buzzes with an eerie clean guitar that slowly gives way to a steamrolling bass and riff assault. "Move On" morphs from a myriad of creaking tones into an explosive vocal freak-out that's impossible not to connect with it on a visceral level. Then there's the neck-snapping "Fear Is A Place to Live" tempering deadly guitar dissonance with an unforgettable chorus.

In order to tap into the chaos that made their self-titled debut a modern classic, the band enlisted the help of the man who helmed "Korn" and "Life is Peachy" — producer Ross Robinson, whose goal was to bring KORN back to square one.

The album captures the band's legendary performance style that's ignited crowds worldwide on stages ranging from Ozzfest and Projekt Revolution to Woodstock and Download. It's the same spirit that gave pop culture hits such as "Blind", "A.D.I.D.A.S.", "Got the Life", "Falling Away from Me" and "Twisted Transistor". It's clear, however, that "Korn III - Remember Who You Are" is another thrilling chapter being etched into KORN's already impressive history.
