The multi-platinum Grammy-winning rock band KORN have unveiled the strange and fascinating video for “Insane” today (August 22) via LOUDWIRE.COM. Directed by Ryan Valdez, it’s a ghastly take on post-mortem photography or ‘momento mori,’ the practice of preserving loved ones after death with images. View the video here:
Filled with heavily distorted riffs and bloodcurdling deep growls, “Insane”– available at all DSP’s today–appears on KORN‘s upcoming 12th studio album, THE SERENITY OF SUFFERING. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Mastodon), the album will be released October 21 and features a special guest appearance from Corey Taylor of Slipknot. Pre-order the album here.
The first single “Rotting In Vain” has been streamed 2 million times and is fast approaching Top 10 at Rock Radio. The single’s macabre video–which is now over 4 million views–stars “Sons of Anarchy” actor Tommy Flanagan along with KORN and taps into the dark underbelly of a bizarre world. View the video-lensed by famed rock video director Dean Karr–now here.
KORN—Jonathan Davis (vocals), James “Munky” Shaffer (guitar), Brian “Head” Welch (guitar), Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu (bass) and Ray Luzier (drums)–is currently in the midst of their successful “Return of the Dreads Tour” with co-headliner Rob Zombie and special guest In This Moment through September 3. Beginning September 24, KORN will share co-headlining duties with Breaking Benjamin on the “Nocturnal Underground” fall arena tour, featuring special guests Motionless In White and Silver Snakes, that takes the band deep into the heart of America through late October. Additionally, KORN is also set to appear at the Louder Than Life and Aftershock Festival in October. KORN’s full tour routing can be found below.
