KORN: Back to the Guitar

Korn will be adding more guitar back into the mix on their next album.

Korn will be adding more guitar back into the mix on their next album. After embracing the sounds of dubstep and electronic dance music on The Path of Totality, the band is looking to balance those influences with their usual guitar sound. Guitarist James "Munky’ Shaffer tells the Phoenix New Times that their next album won't be "a 180 from the last album, but we’re definitely taking a different approach. We’re not going with the dubstep style, but we are using a lot of interesting recording techniques."

Shaffer adds, "It’s more melodic and the guitars are more aggressive and much more in your face." While he thinks doing an album entirely devoted to dubstep "was bold and took a lot of [guts]" Shaffer does consider The Path to Totality "very much a Korn album." That said, he wants "to feature more guitar" on the album they're currently writing.
