Korn began a mysterious livestream a few days ago captioned with the number 11. This led everyone to assume that the band would release a new song on November 11, which obviously turned out to be true. Korn is now streaming "Start The Healing" off their new record Requiem alongside a video directed by Tim Saccenti (Flying Lotus, Run The Jewels, Depeche Mode).
"Our idea for this video was to mutate that aspect of the DNA of Korn, of what makes them so inspiring, their mix of raw power and transportive aesthetics and human emotion," said Saccenti.
"I wanted to take the viewer on an emotional journey, as the song does, a visceral, cathartic death and rebirth that will hopefully help transport the listener through whatever their personal struggles are. Collaborating with 3-D artist Anthony Ciannamea we tapped into Korn's mythology and explored their vast well of light and darkness to create a surreal, liminal-pace body-horror nightmare."
Korn will release Requiem on February 4. Pre-orders are available here.
