The nu metal band KoRn has finished recording their newest project. Their last full-length project was in 2022 with Requiem, and their newest song, “Reward the Scars,” dropped in April of this year for the video game Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred.
Drummer Ray Luzier’s drum tech, Mark Bennett, seemed to confirm the news during a recent appearance on the YouTube channel Drumeo, as NME reported. “This is what we just finished recording the new record with,” Bennett said, holding a Pearl Copper Free Floating snare drum. “They discontinued this drum. You can’t get it anymore. Thankfully, we have five of them.”
While no further details were given about the project, guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer recently told Rolling Stone Brasil that the band has written around 40 songs.
“It’s been quite a long process, because we’re very critical about what we do now,” Shaffer said. “We’re very particular, in… because we wanna keep our original sound. You can’t really get away from that – when we start playing, it sounds like KoRn, especially with all five of us.”
As fans wait for more news on the upcoming album, KoRn is set for a UK and Europe headline tour. It will mark their first time playing in the UK in over a decade and will start on October 18th in Stuttgart, Germany.
