Korn Goes Dubstep with New Album, Gamers Launch Petition to Stop ‘Silent Hill’ Theme Song

by | Jun 11, 2011

Korn has been at work on a new album with dubstep-style influence, having already collaborated with a handful of producers for the new material.

“We’ve collaborated with six, maybe seven dubstep producers on the new record,” bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu tells NME. “I’ve done my parts, I think Jonathan [Davis, singer] has a couple of vocal takes still to do, but it’s almost done.”

The band released its first dubstep-influenced track, “Get Up”, last month, which was produced by Skrillex.

In other Korn news, the band has been tracking a theme song for the upcoming Silent Hill: Downpour video game, which is being strongly unfavored by gamers, who launched a petition to stop the effort.

“A nu metal band simply does not belong in Silent Hill,” the petition states, “and especially not one that deals with teenage angst themes.”
