Korn Debut "Never Never"

posted in: Music News • Rock

Hard rock legends Korn are continuing to search for new sounds in modern metal with the release of their new single, “Never Never.”

The first song to surface off the band’s forthcoming album The Paradigm Shift, “Never Never” finds Korn searching for a trendy niche in the sonic realm where rock and EDM collide. Much like the content that made 2011’s Path To Totality stand out, the group’s latest single injects elements of dubstep into the group’s signature gloomy rock sound, but this time the results are decidedly more mixed than before. It’s not that the outlook of frontman Jonathan Davis that has changed, as the music is still primarily focused on the sadder moments of life, but there is an inherent sense of lightheartedness in the music that feels somewhat foreign for the band. You can stream the song and decide for yourself if it stands up to the rest of Korn’s catalog, after the jump.

The Paradigm Shift is scheduled to arrive in stores this October. Considering the fact that “Never Never” is the first single to be released, we expect additional tracks to surface in the weeks ahead. Follow OurStage on Twitter to ensure you never miss another headline.
