| KORN
TO DESCEND ON NEW YORK CITY WITH SPECIAL
PRE-ALBUM RELEASE SHOW NOVEMBER 29 AT HAMMERSTEIN
BALLROOM;
BAND
TO MAKE “SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE”
DEBUT NOVEMBER 19
The
mighty KORN will descend on New York City
Tuesday, November 29 for a very special
pre-album release show at Hammerstein Ballroom,
where they last tore off the roof back in
2002.
This
show marks the first U.S. concert where
the trend-setting modern rock pioneers--JONATHAN
DAVIS, JAMES “MUNKY” SHAFFER,
FIELDY and DAVID SILVERIA--will perform
material in the U.S. from their upcoming
album SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE, due out
December 6. Tickets for the show go on sale
Saturday, November 12.
Meanwhile,
look for the band to make their first-ever
performance in a U.S. television studio
November 19 on “Saturday Night Live,”
performing their blazing single “Twisted
Transistor.” The track was the most
added at active, mainstream and alternative
radio across the country, and is now Top
10 @ Active & Mainstream Rock, as well
as the #2 most-requested song at KROQ/LA.
It’s taken from their seventh studio
album in a catalog that has already produced
25 million in sales. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER
SIDE represents KORN’s first release
via a unique global partnership with EMI/Virgin
Records. This innovative multiple rights
joint venture deal is among the first of
its kind in the music industry.
For the “Twisted Transistor”
clip, KORN creatively teamed with director
Dave Meyers and made good on their promise
to shake up the music video format with
the seven-and-a-half-minute visual extravaganza.
KORN decided to call upon their friends
to become, well, the members of KORN for
this mini-movie. Imagine this: hip-hop titans
Lil Jon as JONATHAN DAVIS, Snoop Dogg as
JAMES “MUNKY” SHAFFER, Xzibit
as FIELDY and David Banner as DAVID SILVERIA.
And they did their homework, studying the
stage moves and idiosyncrasies of the four
members of KO?N to create spot-on portrayals
that give fans an inside look at the four
distinct personalities that make up the
band.
Produced
by JONATHAN DAVIS along with The Matrix
and Atticus Ross, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE
is the most revolutionary KO?N album since
their debut…a barb-wired, bastard
son of blinding musical fury, dark and twisted
lyrical candor, and searing, sociopathic
tendencies. It’s the culmination of
everything KORN have come to represent musically,
morphed with an industrial-strength alter
ego that’s been suppressed—until
now. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE is more than
the evolution of KORN, it’s an evolution
of heavy.
