  • Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu On Stepping Away From Korn: “COVID Happened. That’s It.”

    Korn bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu has shared more information regarding his decision to step away from the band. The musician, who initially claimed he was taking a break from the group to deal with some “bad habits,” has since revealed that his decision was related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Fieldy said the following amid a joint interview with his former L.A.P.D. bandmate Richard Morrill on the Shady Characters podcast:

    “COVID happened. That’s it. I’m like, ‘I’m not going out there.’ That’s what happened, ’cause it was new. Now. I’m like… The whole time — I mean, I didn’t get vaccinated or anything — but when you reflect on it, that’s what happened. They’re like, ‘We’re going to Florida and all this.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated.’ I’m not going. I go, ‘People, this is weird right now.’

    But I mean that’s kind of what happened. But it gave me time to sit, and once you sit, you can reflect and you’re like, you’re kind of just waiting you know to what’s next, ’cause I don’t know what the rest of this day is going to bring. I’m just on fire for whatever, whatever is ready.”

    He went on to discuss the perspective he gained from exiting a project he invested years into:

    “That’s what it is. You see bands, and bands kind of just go through these motions. This isn’t anything new. I mean, from L.A.P.D. to all these bands. I mean, Chili Peppers have Flea and Anthony [Kiedis], you know? It just happens like that sometimes. A lot of bands — not sometimes, almost every time. It’s rare that all the same [members stay in a band.]

    Man, I look back at my life and like, you know, almost 30 years with Korn, that was a blast, man. I mean, it was… I can’t explain it. It’s like you’re going on you’re going to the ultimate [thrill]… It’s not easy. But it is a blast. I don’t look back going, ‘That sucked.’

    I mean, I could look at it and complain, but how are you going to complain? That was everything everybody dreams of. And I got to go almost like a vet. I put in 30 years and now here I am. You know? it’s like I’m cool with that.”

    He continued when asked if he’s “retired”:

    “I’m retired from Korn today, but we’ll see what the day brings tomorrow.”

    On another note, Fieldy also commented on a photo that sparked rumors of a new project with Sepultura drummer Greyson Nekrutman and former Fear Factory bassist Christian Olde Wolbers:

    “I’m doing another project. We got two rough songs done with Greyson [Nekrutman] from Sepultura on drums. He’s a sick drummer… He’s like a jazz drummer. He can play the old school jazz way, but fast. Like that guy, that guy’s an insane drummer. He’s one of the sickest drummers I’ve ever worked with. And you know what? Every drummer I worked with is dope. David Silveria, Ray [Luzier, Korn drummer] Mikey [Bordin] from Faith No More and Ozzy, who else did we work with? Brooks Wackerman.”

    He also added that him and guitarist Sean Olsen sent a song to Morrill to work on for the “rough project.”

  • Stitched Up Heart Recruit Nonpoint’s Elias Soriano For New Song “Beast”

    Stitched Up Heart have premiered a new song titled “Beast.” The track, which features Nonpoint’s Elias Soriano, is from the band’s new album, “Medusa,” which will be released on June 12. Frontwoman Alecia “Mixi” Demner commented:

    “’Beast’ is my inner monster finally getting off the leash and going full Frankenstein in a graveyard. It’s that part of me that’s been politely caged up for years, but now is chugging adrenaline and demanding a mosh pit. The track feels like summoning a zombie monster truck, with riffs that sound like the revving engines of dirt bikes, flipping over tombstones, & layered screams like frosting on a horror cake. The song is even better with Elias (of Nonpoint)’s raw vocal performance. No more hiding the chaos, just unleashing it. The world’s been way too polite lately, and I felt it needed something that screams, ‘Wake up and dance in the dirt!’ It’s got that graveyard smash vibe, fun yet feral. Plus, after holding back the beast for so long, why tease? Unleash the monster mash and let the screams begin!”

  • Your Spirit Dies To Release New EP “It Is Well…” In May, Premiere “Starless” Video

    Your Spirit Dies have announced a new EP titled “It Is Well…” The effort will be released on May 22 and it can be pre-saved HERE.

    “It Is Well…” Track Listing:

    01. “Starless“
    02. “When Peace, Like A River“
    03. “Whispers In Omen“

    Vocalist Brandon Byars commented:

    “With this new material, we’ve settled into what we’ve sought for several years. The intention of Your Spirit Dies was never to be simply pastiche, but to take the influences that shaped us early on and view them through a modern lens and I think we’ve succeeded. It’s heavy, dark, melodic, and everything that YSD should be.

    Working with producer Randy Leboeuf on this project was awesome. We went with a decent amount of demo material to pick and choose from and only really used two or three parts. A lot of the writing came really naturally, and we had these songs in their final forms in a matter of a couple of days.”

    A video for the first single, “Starless,” can be found below. Byars added the following about that:

    “We tried to do a short concept with this release, again utilizing religious imagery. ‘Starless‘ is the first part of a two-part story focusing on the aftermath of those condemned to exist on earth in an Armageddon-like event. To be clear, this is not a ‘turn to God’ story from Sunday school. If anything, it retains a message of questioning and doubt of an all-loving God who’d leave his beloved creation in ‘the starless dark.’”
