Korn’s Jonathan Davis On Fieldy: “I Pray That He Can Figure It Out And Get Better And Come Back And Be A Huge Part Of This Band Again”

Posted by caemanamelio on

As previously reported, Korn bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu is currently taking a break from the band to address some “bad habits.” Now, during a recent interview with Kerrang!, frontman Jonathan Davis and guitarist Brian “Head” Welch further discussed their bandmate’s hiatus.

Welch said the following:

“The best thing to do is stay at home, be with your family, and start processing. He’s got to find that healing. I still struggle with it. I had a few slip-ups with my ‘bad habits’ three-to-four years ago, so I understand it, but I dealt with it by hitting it head-on and stopping it from becoming a problem. I’m not concerned because I know he’s going to be okay.”

Davis added:

“I love him; he’s my brother. But I watched somebody I care about die and I’m not going to fucking do that again. I refuse to. I will feel guilt for the rest of my fucking life because of that. I tried my hardest but perhaps if I’d been a little bit tougher there’d have been a different outcome. I pray that he can figure it out and get better and come back and be a huge part of this band again.”

Despite his hiatus, Arvizu will still appear on the band’s new album “Requiem” (out February 4).

Korn’s Jonathan Davis Says The Recording Process For “Requiem” Was “One Of The Best Album Experiences” He Has Had

Posted by caemanamelio on

During a recent interview with Audacy Check In, Korn’s Jonathan Davis discussed the band’s upcoming album “Requiem” (out February 4). According to him, the recording process for the effort was “one of the best album experiences” he has had.

Davis said the following about the new record:

“It’s different. We’re always constantly evolving. There’s still our core sound there. But this time we did this, we had the luxury, we were on a forced timeout; we had all the time in the world.

Every single Korn record I’ve ever done, the band gets all the time in the world to get their stuff done, and the way I write and do my thing, I have to have the music all done and then I can do what I do. And they always book some tour, and it’s coming up, and I’m always hurrying and rushing to try and get it done. So this time, we had time. We came together. We’d do it in blocks — a week block, and write a week, and then be off. [We’d do that] once a month. I think we did three or four sessions and got the record recorded. It took me four or five months to do vocals. But overall, we’re really, really proud of it. We produced it with Chris Collier, who’s really good. And it was one of the best album experiences I’ve had.”

He also added the following about the effort’s first single “Start The Healing“:

“There’s a lot of stuff going on in there. I spent a lot of time layering vocals and using different microphones and doing all kinds of stuff that takes time and patience that most producers and singers don’t wanna do, ’cause it just sucks. But I’m at a point in my life where I have the freedom and the ability and the means to really do what I want and take the time and really present something the way that’s artistic and I love.”

Posted by caemanamelio on

According to Bloody Disgusting, Korn frontman Jonathan Davis will be playing a villain named “The Pet” in director Joshua Petrino’s upcoming horror film “The Devil’s Tree.” In addition to Davis, the movie will also feature Addy Miller (“The Walking Dead”) and Nick Principe (“Laid To Rest”).

Here’s a synopsis for the film:

“After visiting a landmark tree rumored to be a gateway to hell, a group of friends holds a pitiful house party where, without explanation, they realize they mentally can’t bring themselves to leave. Shortly after this revelation, torment and slaughter begin at the hands of a supernatural killer with a warped, sadistic sense of humor.”

Petrino also commented on working with Davis:

“Jonathan did an amazing job as our villain. He really helped us create a memorable character and it was a lot of fun working with him.”
