multi-platinum 2x Grammy Award-winning band KORN has revealed the video for "Take Me," the latest track off of their #1 iTunes Rock and Metal album THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING (out now on Roadrunner Records). Inspired by old country tunes as well as Brad Paisley's "Alcohol," the track is about beating addiction but from the point of view of the substance. Its video can now be seen here: https://youtu.be/6zMiISKntcY
Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon), THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING was heralded by Ashley Zlatopolsky of The Observer(10/21/16) as "...the band's most intense release in a decade." It's highlighted by a return to a dual-guitar dynamic and some of front man Jonathan Davis' most inspired moments of self-reflection and expression. It finds KORN-who is also James "Munky" Shaffer (guitar), Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (bass), Brian "Head" Welch (guitar) and Ray Luzier (drums)--harnessing all the anger, power and trademark balance of darkness and light that made their name all those years ago.
"It's the heaviest album they've released in a good, long while...," says Joe Hemmerling of Consequence of Sound (10/21/16), "...with Davis' growls approaching death metal intensity on songs like 'Insane.' The band seems to be making a concerted effort to incorporate sonic references that were once key touchstones to their sound, like the demonic scatting on 'Rotting in Vain.' Fieldy's thick, watery bass lines on 'The Hating' and 'When You're Not There' are familiar elements folded into the slicker, denser sound they've evolved over the years....Smuggling Slipknot's Corey Taylor into single 'A Different World' adds a comforting harshness into the proceedings as well, providing a long-sought meeting between two of nu metal's most dominant architects."

About KORN:
Since forming in 1993, the iconic hard rock band KORN have sold nearly 40 million albums, toured the world dozens of times, and set records in the process that will likely never be surpassed. Originally from Bakersfield, CA, vocalist Jonathan Davis, guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch, and Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu on bass ushered in the new wave of metal music in the '90s with their self-titled debut in 1994 and 1996's Life is Peachy, but have ridden that wave to even greater success and higher artistic water marks. The band have battled personal demons and addictions but have found their way through to the other side. And now, highlighted by the force of drummer Ray Luzier, a return to a dual-guitar dynamic and some of Davis's most inspired moments of self-reflection and expression, the new album The Serenity of Suffering finds KORN harnessing all the anger, power, and trademark balance of darkness and light that made their name all those years ago.
