Korn: We Were Dubstep Before There Was Dubstep

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has hit back at criticism about the band's forthcoming 'dubstep' album.

The band will release their tenth studio album, entitled 'The Path of Totality’, on December 5.

Davis told Billboard: "We were dubstep before there was dubstep. Tempos at 140 with half-time drums, huge bassed-out riffs.

"We used to bring out 120 subwoofers and line them across the whole front of the stage, 60 subs per side. We were all about the bass."

He added: These kids are onto something completely innovative and new. It's pure and awesome and underground and heavy and different, not like stale-ass metal and rock'n'roll. I love them all, but the old-school metalheads are not open to change."

Tracks on the album include 'Narcissistic Cannibal', 'Burn The Obedient.' 'Illuminati', 'Kill Mercy Within,' and 'Chaos Lives In Everything'.
