HEAVYS Weekly Breakdown
talking about heavy music news
with Korn, Anthrax, and more.
“KoRn’s Munky has said the band have written 40 songs for a new album, while addressing bassist Fieldy’s departure. “On this record, we have grown emotionally. Music is healing to all of us” The Bakersfield, California nu-metal band released their first new music in four years last month, ‘Reward The Scars’, which they created for the video game Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred. They have also shared the gory animated video for the track. In a new interview with Rolling Stone Brasil, guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer spoke about the work they have been putting in on their new record since 2022’s ‘Requiem’. 1It’s taking a fucking long time,” he said. “We’ve gone through… I swear to God, we’ve written probably almost 40 songs, and gone through ’em, and rewrote ’em, and got rid of ’em, and tore ’em apart, and rebuilt ’em.” (NME)
