Korn will release their new record The Nothing on September 13, and bassist Fieldy reveals to The Art And Span Show that it'll have two cover songs as non-bonus tracks. He doesn't say what bands they covered aside from mentioning "they're songs that you would never, ever think that we did."
Fieldy adds that Korn has quite a few covers they've done over the years that never got released, and that the band has talked about releasing them all as Korn Kovers.
"So pretty soon, as soon as we get all these [covers done], obviously, we're gonna go back, and once you do that, just fine-tuning [the cover songs for The Nothing] will be quick. And next thing you know, maybe we'll release… who knows? We always talked about we wanna do Korn Kovers, with a 'K,' and release a whole covers album instead of just throwing a cover tune on a Korn album."
"I like the idea of being able to buy a CD with just Korn covers, so it's not like you're trying to make your band blow up off of a cover," he explained. "But you never know how that works, 'cause we did do 'Another Brick In The Wall', and that song turned out amazing. But we don't play it that much. I wish we would, because there's nothing but good feedback, from what I hear. For some reason, it doesn't make it into the set too much. It does, but it doesn't."
Now if we could only get Korn to finish that cover of "Lowrider" from 1996.
