Korn - The Nothing

"Velkommen til The Nothing". Sådan slutter sidste linje i Korn-frontmand Jonathan Davis' beskrivelse af gruppens nye album, der består af 13 nye sange. Som titlen på albummet antyder, er der tale om et meget mørkt udspil, præget af en turbulent periode i Davis' liv, hvor han bl.a. mistede sin kone gennem næsten 15 år. Samtidig er albummet rent musikalsk en naturlig forlængelse af bandets forrige album, The Serenity Of Suffering, hvor lyden var hårdere og mere energisk end nogensinde før.

Jonathan Davis' fulde beskrivelse af det nye album: "Deep, within our Earth lives an extraordinary force. Very few are aware of the magnitude and significance of this place where good/evil, dark/light, bliss/torment, loss/gain and hope/despair all exist as one- pulling at us every moment of our lives. It’s not something we can choose to navigate, but rather an awareness of this ‘presence’ that surrounds us with every breath, as if we are being watched at every moment. It’s the place where black and white energies attach themselves to our souls, and shape our emotion, choices, perspective and ultimately our very existence. There is a miraculous and small realm within this vortex and it’s the only place where balance between these dynamic and polarizing forces exists — where the soul finds its refuge. Welcome to…..THE NOTHING."
