The Path of Totality – KornView More By Korn Our ReviewThe shift to an electronic direction on Korn’s 10th album reveals a band craving change. Frontman Jonathan Davis wrote on the Roadrunner Records website that the group is creating “future metal” by incorporating dubstep, drum and bass, and house music into its old formula. The King Midas touch of dubstep luminary Skrillex is noticeably present—especially in the opening song, “Chaos Lives in Everything,” where gigantic walls of aggressive electro textures accompany the band’s cathartic nu-metal. Skrillex ramps up his production on the standout cut “Narcissistic Cannibal” (also featuring Kill the Noise), where an arsenal of mechanics interlock with the flesh-and-blood workings of the band’s human attack. KTN also appears on the bonus track “Fuels the Comedy,” a kinetic fusion of Korn’s signature sound braided with rapcore and dubstep. Excision Datsik and Downlink appear on the second bonus song, “Tension.” Overall, The Path of Totality doesn’t sound so much like a new direction for Korn; it plays more like the remix of an entire Korn album of which there's no original version.. Customer ReviewsKorn + dubstep = win (5 stars)It cracks me up listening to people say "this isn't Korn." If you actually listen to it, it's got the core of Korn's sound. They experimented. The pulled off something no one else has yet. Just because it doesn't sound exactly like every other Korn song recorded, it doesn't mean they're going down.

(1 star) Don't get me wrong, I give them credit for trying something new, but this was a bad idea. They are going downhill in my eyes because of this album. Leave the dubstep in the raves it does not belong in the music industry. Amazing. (5 stars) I'm glad they were the ones who experiemented with Dubstep in their album first and not some other crappy "metal" band. Korn know what they're doing and how to do it. BiographyFormed: 1992 in Bakersfield, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s Korn's cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, California-based metal band LAPD, which included guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch, bassist Reginald "Fieldy Snuts" Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria. After issuing an LP, the members of LAPD in 1993 crossed paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting...
