Korn are still benumbed the drive from their aggressive tenth LP, The Path of Totality, which begin the harder rockers experimenting with dubstep via collaborations with Skrillex and others. The bandage just appear a beginning annular of bout dates through June, including a headlining aperture at Canada's EDM- and harder rock-leaning Boonstock festival. And they afresh appear a new video for the clue "Way Too Far," produced by 12th Planet, Flinch and Downlink.
For accompanist Jonathan Davis, aberration out into ball music offers the affectionate of alliance that he's been missing in the bedrock scene. Davis batten with Rolling Stone about the EDM community, his angle on gay alliance and how his kids let him apperceive if a song is working.
What can Korn admirers apprehend from the summer tour?We're bringing this new blazon of music we fabricated to all the fans. It's a dance-rock amalgam show. We got these video screens. It's just a admixture of both scenes. It's absolutely air-conditioned seeing metal admirers and EDM admirers with glow-sticks in the aforementioned room; it's appealing intense.
You don't see a calendar like Boonstock's actual often. What's it like for you to play with acts like Chukie, Kill The Noize and Puddle of Mudd at the aforementioned festival? I adulation those guys. The [EDM] arena is a family-type scene; everybody is like homies. It's way altered than the bedrock scene, so it's absolutely nice to go out there and acquaintance that affectionate of army and again go aback and see the added crowd, 'cause I adulation both.
How is it added of a ancestors vibe than the bedrock scene?They're consistently together, they're all friends; it's different. I don't wish to allocution bits about the bedrock arena – it's just nice to see that affectionate of alliance traveling on. It makes me feel good, and I saw that in bedrock afore but I haven't apparent it in a while. We acclimated to accept that if we were touring about with the Deftones in like '93, '94, and again it just affectionate of stopped. Everyone abroad did their affair and we did our thing, but in the ball arena they're looping everybody in with everybody. It's just all one big scene.
What do you anticipate acquired all the bandage beefs? I anticipate there was a lot antagonism in the bedrock scene. And I apperceive there's gotta be antagonism in the EDM scene, but the humans I've been about – I can't say I've been about everybody, but that's what I noticed.
It was nice to see bands like Gaslight Anthem appearance abutment for Tom Gabel afterwards he came out as transgender endure week. What was your acknowledgment to that news? I anticipate it's cool. If you feel central you are a woman, be a woman – no one can yield that abroad from you, man. No one can accomplish that activity go away. If that's what you charge to do to be complete, again no one has the appropriate to acquaint you you can't do that.
In the aforementioned week, North Carolina voted to ban gay alliance and Obama clearly declared his support for it.It's air-conditioned Obama accurate that – that's one acceptable affair he's done. I anticipate if two humans adulation anniversary other, they should be able to get married. That's appealing abundant simple. But there are humans who are very, actual bourgeois that accept it should be amid a man and a woman. I don't wish to get in the average of this stuff. As continued as humans get advised equally, I don't care. If a man and a man get calm and they get the aforementioned rights and everything, whatever they wish to alarm it, alarm it. But it's just a touchy-ass subject. Everybody gets offended.
People get so crazy, and that's the botheration – these assumption notions in people's active that they should accept the appropriate to adjudicator humans on what they do. "Oh, that's horrible, those two men are together." "What the fuck does that accept to do with you?" I never get that. To me adulation is love, and if two humans adulation anniversary added they should accept the appropriate to be wed or union-ed, or whatever the hell you wish to alarm it. It sucks that North Carolina fabricated it illegal, and it sucks that California fabricated it illegal. I anticipate humans should be able to do what they wish to do.
You're recording an EP beneath your DJ name, J Devil. How's that advancing along?
Oh, it's advancing out so good. I'm accepting so abundant fun accomplishing whatever, traveling adjoin the grain. I got three or four added songs done while I was out here. I'm just accepting a bang autograph cyberbanking music that's absolutely different. Humans accept been freaking out about it. I'm just autograph and writing, aggravating to acquisition what I absolutely wish it to be. And if it's accessible we'll aces a single, put it out on Beatport and do it the old-school way. I got some altered styles I'm mashing calm and I wish it to be really, absolutely right.
Will you go to any of the accessible ball festivals?
I got three boys now – they're adolescent and they charge their dad and I'm gone months at a time, so if one of the festivals is abutting by, I'll grab my two little ones that are with me and analysis it out. It's funny, one of them loves bedrock music and one of them loves cyberbanking music, so they're little critics. Pirate loves bedrock and he's seven, and Zeppelin just angry 5 and he loves cyberbanking music. He's a huge LMFAO fan. All he does is airing about singing their songs, and if I'm bearing J Devil being he'll appear in and say, "That's so awesome, Daddy!" He'll get so excited. I apperceive I'm accomplishing a acceptable job if he starts dancing. He's my little muse, I guess.
