Shut the F**K Up and Get Up!

Korn has been working hard, as of late, on their new concept album titled "The Path of Totality".  The dub-step focused LP will be released on December 6th, 2011 via Roadrunner Records.


The album will come in two different packages:

- Standard version: 11-song CD with artwork

- Special edition: 11-song CD that will include bonus tracks as well as a DVD of "The Encounter"

("The Encounter" is a full-length video concert of Korn's performance in the middle of a 900-foot-long crop circle in a wheat field in Bakersfield, CA)

“The title 'The Path of Totality' refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time.  That’s how this album came together. I think all the producers feel the same way. I’m not sure it could ever happen again.” -Jonathan Davis


Only the first single has really made any waves in the music industry, as the world waits patiently for the rest of the tracks to surface via Youtube or any other social media outlet.  So far, "Get Up" has been the talk of the town and the Korn community.  Both a lyric video and a music video are available (below) for the first single of the album:
