KORN Recording Two New Albums, Prepping For Tour
April 24, 2009Gary Graff of Billboard.com reports that a new KORN album — the follow-up to 2007's "Untitled" — could be out "within the year" according to bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, while the group is also continuing work on a planned album of covers.
Fieldy tells Billboard.com that he, founding bandmates Jonathan Davis and James "Munky" Shaffer, and drummer Ray Luzier have been "really banging it out" in his basement studio in Laguna Hills, California, coming up with "a bunch of songs" with original KORN producer Ross Robinson. He adds that "there's nothing lyrically put down yet," but Davis may be taking a studio on the road when KORN kicks off its tour with AVENGED SEVENFOLD on Saturday in Tucson, Arizona to begin laying down ideas.
Working with Robinson again, Fieldy notes, is "really bringing out, like, old-school KORN. It's heavy riffs and we're trying to strip it down raw and get those heavy groove riffs that make you want to hop around or jump around or just go crazy. We're going towards that."
