Remember the earlier years of the millenia 2000? When we had all these bands that, come 2010, seem to have more or less completely disappeared. It has been a long while since we have seen Korn return with some new heavy rap/rock, but it appears lead vocalist Jonathan Davis has yet to rest. According to the PRP, Davis has released a new song off his solo album Black Labyrinth. Titled “Basic Needs” the new release is accompanied by a haunting video that open with a blue silhouette of frontman Davis. The song open with some calming tones alongside a percussion line that reminds me of a Funkadelic album. However, once Davis’ voice comes in, it is clear who and what we are listening to. The vocals in the video lead to more intense visuals as different color strobes light up the singing body of Davis. “Basic Needs” is a song very reminiscent of the days of Korn, with the only exception that Davis might have a softer side.
In support of his new album Black Labyrinth, Jonathan Davis is out on tour now. Check out the dates below as well as “Basic Needs” in its entirety.
