KORN Return To 'Sheer Hate And Anger' On Upcoming CD

November 10, 2003

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis recently told MTV.com that the group's sixth LP, "Take a Look in the Mirror", due November 25, is their return to form.

"The whole album is about love, hate and my hate of people and just losing my mind," Davis explained. "The previous albums I did, I think the last three, I was coming from a place of hurt. And I just finally got to the point where I'm done hurting and I'm just pissed off about it now. It's turned back to just sheer hate and anger. And it definitely comes across on the album."

Davis is convinced KORN fans will be shocked, particularly with the album's second track, "Break Some Off", which he called "brutal."

"It's the heaviest KORN song we've ever done," he said. "It's about me losing it. You ever get in a situation where some things aren't going your way and you want to just lose your mind, but you can't? You're trying to maintain yourself, but it's just screwing with you and you're doing everything to keep it back? That's what that song is about."

KORN and LIMP BIZKIT are co-headlining the 12-date Back 2 Basics Tour, which kicks off Monday (November 10). Afterwards, Davis and Co. will play some holiday shows in November and December before heading overseas next year.

"We're doing a world tour this time, so we're going to places we haven't been to in a long time," Davis said. "We're going to Japan, Hong Kong, Jakarta [Indonesia], Manila [Philippines], Australia, New Zealand, and doing all that, then coming back and we're gonna do our first headlining arena tour in probably March."
