Maybe when Korn announced that their tenth studio album, Path Of Totality, was going to meld their nu metal bread and butter with dubstep jams fans went, “Wah?” but so it has come to pass. Recruiting dubstep producers Datsik, Feed Me, Excision, 12th Planet, Downlink, Kill The Noise and Noisia, it was the record’s first cut Get Up, a collaboration with Skrillex that purportedly got tongues wagging at Coachella Festival. Now, we’ve got second single, again from the desk of Skrillex, Narcissistic Cannibal, for your listening pleasure.
We certainly reckon it’s an interesting direction. The blogosphere is falling over itself with praise for the concept, assuring anyone on the google machine that Korn have just developed themselves a brand new genre. Nu metal and dubstep together? Bizarrely enough, it actually makes sonic sense. Whaddya think?
