New Video Interview With ‘Brian “Head” Welch’

0 Comments

Brian Head WelchIn The Now Magazine conducted an interview with Korn guitarist Brian “Head” Welch at the Aftershock festival, which took place September 14-15 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California. You can now watch the chat below.

Korn‘s new album, “The Paradigm Shift”, is due on October 8 via Prospect Park. The follow-up to 2011’s “The Path Of Totality” features the return of Welch to the lineup after more than eight years away. His last album with the band was 2003’s “Take A Look In The Mirror”.

According to The Pulse Of Radio, the melodic, almost pop-driven style of “Never Never” has met with some mixed reactions from Korn fans, which singer Jonathan Davis told Metal Hammer was his intention. He explained, “We put this out first cause I knew it was going to piss off a lot of people. And um, so I did it. That song ain’t for dudes, it’s for the ladies.”

Guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer told The Pulse Of Radio that the new disc is another big step forward for the band musically. “The melodies on it, on the tracks we did, they just sound like, so much like a mature band,” he said. “Sounds like they’re well thought out, the themes of, you know, the songs that Jonathan wrote about — it’s just where we are now. Every record’s just sort of a snapshot of where you are musically, personally . . . financially. [laughs].”

The band will kick off a headlining North American tour on September 26 in Philadelphia, concluding in Las Vegas on October 12. Dates & locations are listed below.
