Korn frontman Jonathan Davis revealed to The Pulse of Radio last week that guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer, bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and drummer Ray Luzier are in the studio writing music for the next Korn album with producer Ross Robinson. Jonathan Davis had the following to say:
“It’s gonna be very raw, it’s gonna be old school like the first Korn records,” he said. “Basically, it’s gonna be recorded as a four-piece band, with just Munky on guitars and Fieldy and Ray and me. We really want to go back to that old-school vibe. It was just really intense and emotional and, you know, I have a lot of built-up aggression toward certain things that I need to get out for this record.”
Davis said that many of the lyrics on the upcoming album will deal with the topic of organized religion.
The band will also be looking for a label for the yet-to-be-titled album since finishing up its two-album deal with Virgin Records in 2007.
