Watch Korn Perform New Track You'll Never Find Me For The First Time
Korn gave You'll Never Find Me its first live airing in Texas last week
Last week (July 18), Korn released the official video for their new track You'll Never Find Me, and later that night they performed it live for the first time. A busy day!
Kicking off their North American co-headline tour with Alice In Chains at Austin360 Amphitheater in Austin, Texas, Korn blasted out a kickass 15-song set that included Twisted Transistor, Rotting In Vain and the live debut of You'll Never Find Me.
You'll Never Find Me is the first single released from Korn's upcoming thirteenth album The Nothing. When we asked frontman Jonathan Davis why they chose that track as the lead single, he simply laughed "Who fucking knows?" in response.
“This is our 13th record; managers find their favourite and go with that one," he continued. "I love it all as a body of work, I don’t really care anymore, and we’ve done it so long… I think it’s more of an evolution for the band. I keep hearing that it’s more mature and this and that, but I don’t know what the fuck that means. Are we older? How does it sound more polished and mature? But whatever. Everyone was freaking out over that song, so it became the single.”
Korn's new album is shaping up to be their darkest record yet, as Jonathan revealed to Kerrang! that the whole record is him "dealing with all the darkness" that has surrounded him for years.
"Life has been very dark, so it was just me going through the grieving process with losing my wife. It was hard. I haven’t had a chance to reach my full potential on Korn records for years, because I’ve always been so busy with stuff at home – taking care of my son Zeppelin, who’s got type 1 diabetes, and Deven had really bad mental illness that I was hiding and dealing with. I did the best I could, but I never could put myself 100 per cent into [recording].
"Sitting down and working out what I was going to do with this record was a process, and this is the longest I’ve ever taken making a record. I went through working with a producer, different engineers and shit, and I finally got fed up. I’m like, ‘Fuck you all, just leave me alone; when it’s done it’s done and I’ll give you it.’ So it was just me and an engineer. I did it myself and it was a very cathartic, dark experience.”
