Multi-platinum Grammy winners KORN will premiere the video for their brand new single “Oildale (Leave Me Alone)” on MTV2 on May 31 at 6 AM ET. This marks the worldwide unveiling of the clip and coincides with the band’s weeklong MTV Takeover, where they hosted both Headbanger’s Ball and Rock the Deuce. Korn’s new album, Korn III – Remember Who You Are, is due out July 13. It is the band’s first release for Roadrunner Records and is their ninth studio release. Korn III was produced by Ross Robinson, who manned the boards for the band’s first two albums, Korn and Life is Peachy.

As its title suggests, Korn III – Remember Who You Are finds the band sticking to its roots, and the song and video are vintage Korn; the band once again taps into the visceral emotion that defined their earliest records, all the while remaining true to their well-honed experience and growth as a band over the past decade-plus. “We thought it was fitting to have the first single and video from Korn III – Remember Who You Are be ‘Oildale (Leave Me Alone),’ since Oildale is near where we grew up as kids,” vocalist Jonathan Davis said about the song and its accompanying video. “It’s a poverty stricken area surrounded by endless, rich oil fields. The money doesn’t really help the local people and it’s tough for local kids to get out of there. I feel blessed that our music busted us out.”

Also, a free Mp3 download of “Are You Ready to Live” will be available for 24 hours on www.roadrunnerrecords.com starting at 11 AM ET today, May 27. To download the song, go HERE.

2010 is shaping up to be another prolific and productive year for Korn, as the band is currently headlining the Spring edition of the Jagermeister Tour, “Korn’s Ballroom Blitz,” as they have named it. They are playing to capacity crowds across the US and debuting new material along the way. The band heads right back out on the road this summer, as they co-headline the Rock Star Energy Mayhem Fest through July and August. Be sure to look for the forthcoming Mayhem-themed issue of Revolver, as the band will grace the cover.

“He Walks By Night” – Listen to a Brand New John Carpenter Song NOW!

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.

Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.

Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.

“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.

“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
