Korn on Wednesday (Feb. 2) released a new song “Lost in the Grandeur,” the third single from Requiem, the California nu-metal mainstays’ 14th studio album that arrives in full on Friday (Feb. 4).
“Lost in the Grandeur” follows Requiem singles “Start the Healing,” released last year, and “Forgotten,” which was released last month.
Speaking about Requiem to Loudwire Nights, Korn guitarist James “Munky” Shaffer said, “Remember [our] album Untouchables? It has a vibe to it that’s like the early 2000s to me. I don’t know why, maybe it’s just because we took more time on guitars.”
He added, “I feel like it’s gonna take fans a minute to kind of digest. And also, you have to put yourself where we were in the middle of COVID. The whole world shut down. At one point, L.A. had these big fires and there was this orange sky, the virus was out there — it just felt so dystopian.” (This month, Munky revealed he’d recovered from the coronavirus a second time.)
Korn are currently touring the U.S. with Chevelle and Code Orange.
