Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor made an appearance with Korn during their set at Louder Than Life Festival this past weekend. You can see fan-filmed footage of the new Korn song ‘A Different World’ featuring Taylor, below:
Jonathan Davis spoke about getting Taylor on the album:
“We were trying to figure out who we wanted to collaborate with, and I’m like, ‘You know, that’s the one, that’s the guy,'” he said. “And I texted him, I’m like, ‘Do you want to be on a new KORN track?’ He’s all, ‘Hell yeah! When and where, what do I do?’ So he did great on the song. I already did my parts, I’m like, ‘Do what you do, man.’ And I like the way he did it, the approach: he starts creeping in underneath the song, you can start slowly hearing his voice under mine, and it crescendos up into the middle part where he sings, and then it’s just full-on at the end, so the song came out great.”
Taylor discussed getting a phone call to play on the Korn album:
“Hey, do you wanna do this?’ And I was on the plane the next day. I flew in, and I hadn’t even heard the music. I was, like, ‘Yeah.’ ‘Cause as a fan and as a friend, it was just something that we had been talking about for years. And all the stars aligned and I got to do this track. And it is heavy, dude. It is so righteous. People are gonna lose their minds.”
“This whole (new Korn) album, and I’m gonna brag now, because I’ve heard eleven songs of this, it is such a great throwback to the first three KORN albums and mixed with that maturity that they have now. Like, it’s, really, really heavy. People are gonna lose their minds. It’s that good.”

‘A Different World’ is slated to be the next single from Korn’s upcoming album, The Serenity Of Suffering, due out on Roadrunner on October 21st. The Serenity Of Suffering marks Korn’s return to Roadrunner, which previously released 2010’s Korn III – Remember Who You Are and 2011’s The Path Of Totality.
The cover art for The Serenity Of Suffering was created by acclaimed artist Ron English. The artwork features elements of the artwork from Korn’s classic 1999 album Issues.
