KORN Frontman Issues Songwriting Update

December 5, 2006

KORN frontman Jonathan Davis has issued the following update:

"We have been hard at work with our new album. Things are going really good; a lot of great ideas goin' on. We are in the process of fine-tuning the songs we got and after the first of the year we start working with [producer] Atticus [Ross] and we are really looking forward to that.

"Munk [KORN guitarist James 'Munky' Shaffer] has been working really hard on his label Emotional Syphon Recordings. He's got a couple of great bands on the label, DROID and MONSTER IN THE MACHINE. You can check them out on his site, www.emotionalsyphon.com. It's a really kool site. Go buy their music, fuckers.

"Fieldy [bassist Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizu] has been workin' on his clothing line Immanuel 123 and a book called 'Got the Life'. He's workin' on a DVD for Immanuel 123 with music from Marz Q Unique and Fieldy's solo stuff. And I have been chillin' — not doin' shit but workin' on KORN songs. I'm very excited about this album. Also, go buy DEADSY's new album on my label Elementree Records. The music is groundbreaking. Also go check out my friend's site www.guitarbyjr.com. He is offering KORN fans free guitar lessons on his site. He is also on www.myspace.com/guitarbyjr. I think it's kool he's doin' this for KORN kids."

KORN began writing its eighth studio album on October 2. Davis said in earlier interviews that he and Shaffer had both been writing new material while on the road in support of the band's last album, "See You on the Other Side".

Davis recently told Launch that he is considering going on his first solo tour sometime in the next few months, after the band finishes recording its new CD.

KORN released an expanded edition of "See You on the Other Side" on September 26, featuring a remix EP, cuts from the band's acoustic AOL Music session, live tracks, a bonus DVD and alternate artwork.

A CD/DVD of the band's recently completed Family Values Tour is expected out in December.
