Korn posted a very interesting teaser on their social media this weekend.
The band shared a photo of a front lawn signed that had this on it:

A few fans noted that when you rearrange the letters, you get "The Devil Went Down To Georgia," which is of course, the name of a very famous tune.
A few months ago, Korn began teasing that they would be putting out a covers album. In May, guitarist Brian "Head" Welch hinted to Metal Hammer that Korn might pick the idea back up from some sessions they had in 2019. In May, Welch told Metal Hammer:
"We have five or six [songs] done, and Jonathan Davis was really hyped on the idea of doing unique covers — just something fun. So we need to get back into that frame of mind. With this time off, that maybe— something to do while we're at home."
In the 2019 interview, Fieldy mentions Korn recording two cover songs "that you would never, ever think that we did" for The Nothing, though no covers were ever released as a part of the 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," Fieldy explained in a 2019 interview. "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."
