KORN guitarist Brian “Head” Welch has told APTV that the band’s next album will probably arrive in the fall of 2016. He said: “We’ve gotta take time off, go away for a little bit. We never go away for long. I mean, I [left the band in 2005]… That’s why. You know what? KORN never went away; they’re always, always there. And so I was, like, I quit. [Laughs] This train has got to stop, man. I’m tired. But we’re gonna take some time off and then come out swinging next year.”
Regarding the musical direction of the next KORN album, Welch said: “Me and Munky [guitarist James Shaffer] stopped playing together for eight years when I was gone. We did the last record [2013’s ‘The Paradigm Shift’], and we just clicked, and it was awesome. But, to me, we’ve gotten used to each other again, and it’s gonna be a more guitar-focused record. It’s gonna be a little bit more technical — for KORN, anyway. So I just think it’s… We’re exactly where we wanna be as guitar-duo brothers.”
