Korn’s Brian “Head” Welch recently revealed that he was working on a new album with a number a special guests and many assumed it was going to be a solo release. However, he has since confirmed to the “BREWtally Speaking Podcast” that the effort is actually a new Love And Death album.
Welch said the following:
“It’s gonna be the Love And Death record, I’m just gonna have some guests on there. We’ll see how all ends up. You plan and then you try your best and whatever happens. Some songs might not make it, we’ll see, but it’s 80% done, and yea Breaking Benjamin guitar players [Jasen Rauch] on it.
I was talking to Spencer [Chamberlain] from Underoath, since we’re hanging out with them a lot on this tour, and Lacey Flyleaf. Ben [Burnley] from Breaking Benjamin said he wants to sing on it, but I think getting him to do anything is really hard if it’s not Breaking Benjamin, so we’ll see. It’s just gonna be Love & Death, but just a new thing we’re doing, just collaborations, that’s all. It just sounded fun, so we’re gonna go for it.”

Here’s some more info on the podcast:
“‘The Nothing’, a six-part dramatized series and a wholly unique project from a band, tells the story of journalist Matt Singer who travels to the small town of Wellden, Kansas to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a teenage girl. He soon discovers not everything is as it seems in the rural community, and finds himself heading into his own heart of darkness. Produced by Elizabeth Mason and directed by Adam Mason, ‘The Nothing’ stars Keir O’Donnell (Wedding Crashers, Fargo, Legion), Darri Ingolfsson (Dexter, Black Antenna) and Mikayla S. Campbell.”
As previously reported, Korn are taking part in a special month long event for “AdventureQuest 3D” and “AQWorlds” as part of the grand opening of the “Battle Concert Arena.” You can watch a virtual version of the band performing an in-game concert below:

According to Fox 8 Cleveland, a 44-year-old man named Ryan Bollas was arrested after allegedly sexually assaulting a 19-year-old girl during Korn and Alice In Chains’ August 16 show in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. The victim said the man looked very intoxicated and that he grabbed her breasts during the concert. She then snapped a photo of Bollas, which the police used to help identify him. Bollas has since turned himself in and is now facing a sexual imposition charge. He also posted a $5,000 bond and is expected to appear in court on September 10.
