We decided to experiment for the fun of it and to see what would happen. Would you be into doing something?" I took the music and I played it for Munky and Fieldy and everyone and they were totally blown away. It was right before Sonny Skrillex's album dropped that I called him and heard a track off of it. I've been a fan of dubstep since I started listening to it in 2009. I've been DJing at bars, clubs, and my own shows for years. They love you for your music and aren’t trying to conform for radio or anything else. "With dance music labels, things are different. What made you want to work with dubstep producers and how did you get involved with the ones featured on The Path of Totality? So, we're bringing something new to them with this. This is something different." That was someone's exact words. They're like, "This isn't gay techno music. They don't really understand dubstep but then they relate to it because it's heavy and dark but not techno. You can tell they were nervous because they think they're not supposed to like it because it's electronic. And then we go into our dub set for five songs off the new album. They lose their shit when they hear that. We start out with rarities that we never really play live for the old-school Korn fans. We're doing something different with this tour. You're currently on tour for your upcoming album - how is that going? Hive talked with Davis about his introduction to dubstep, working with Skrillex, why new rock sucks, and the Illuminati conspiracy controlling the government. The mutual sense of rage may have something to do with it too. There's a weird understated balance to the whole thing that stems from a combination of production know-how and solidarity in the underground. The shrill computer-made melodies mirror the onslaught of guitars too. Heavy, scratchy bass grounds the band's token drum-kit and undercuts Davis' signiature vocals. The album's end result is a set of eleven tracks that don't pander to either genre's affectations and instead meld into one loud, aggressive, angry rager. The Path of Totality features production work from dubstep's current "it guy," Skrillex, along with Noisia, Feed Me, 12th Planet, Excision and Kill the Noise. That said, it was no big surprise when Korn decided to release a full-length dubstep album. As a result, the group has forever been a trailblazer of the nu-metal diaspora, where their merging of hard rock with other genres like pop-rock and hip-hop paved the road for acts like Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Staind, and Papa Roach. While they've performed alongside genre-defining acts like Marilyn Manson, Ozzy Osbourne and Megadeath, purists found the band to be too "rock" for their taste. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has always been vocal about the fact that his band never found a solid home in metal.
