Korn announce new dubstep album 'The Path of Totality'

Korn are to release their tenth studio album later this year.

The band will unveil their new dubstep-inspired album The Path of Totality on December 5.

The nu metal rockers have teamed up with electronic producers including Skrillex, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise and 12th Planet for the record.

"The title The Path of Totality refers to the fact that in order to see the sun in a full solar eclipse, you must be in the exact right place in the exact right time," frontman Jonathan Davis explained.

"That's how this album came together. I think all the producers feel the same way. I'm not sure it could ever happen again."

Korn recently teamed up with Skrillex for a track titled 'Get Up', which was a top ten hit on the US Mainstream Rock chart.

"'Get Up' started as a bit of an experiment, but we had such an amazing response from our fans and had such a great time collaborating that a full album of tracks came together in a couple of months," added guitarist James Shaffer.

"We couldn't wait to get to the studio every day to finish the next song."

The Path of Totality will be released in two editions. An 11-track disc will serve as the standard edition, while extra bonus tracks and a DVD of 'The Encounter' will be added to the deluxe version.
