Nu-metal band Korn has released a video for “Rotting in Vain”, their first single from their upcoming album The Serenity of Suffering. The album will be coming out October 21st via Road Runner Records. If you’re into early to mid entry Korn albums and songs, this is gonna be right up your alley!
Vocalist Jonathan Davis tells Rolling Stone:
“Rotting in Vain” was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I don’t like in life – be it relationships, or feeling when you’re stuck and you’re just being abused or you don’t like where you’re at, and you just sit there and rot. It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. That’s where ‘Rotting in Vain’ came from. I’m just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. That’s the vibe that inspired the song.
Wanna know something awesome about the video? It stars Tommy Flanagan, the badass scar-faced actor who has appeared in Braveheart, AVP: Alien vs Predator, and Sin City. That alone is worth giving it a view.
You can pre-order The Serenity of Suffering via Itunes.
