Korn Explore 'The Paradigm Shift,' Jonathan Davis' Rehab on New Album 'I was in a straight haze,' says frontman...

Korn tell Rolling Stone they will release their new album, The Paradigm Shift, on October 1st. The record, produced by Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory) finds guitarist Brian "Head" Welch returning to the fold after an eight-year absence.

With the two-guitar sound that shaped the early multi-platinum Korn albums back in place, Welch says the record has a lot of vintage Korn sounds. "I'm a metalhead. I love rock music, and I came here just wanting to do the old Korn vibe, but with a new twist," he says. "Me and Munky [James Shaffer] haven't been playing guitar together for eight years, so we came in just wanting to jam out with the bass player Fieldy [Reginald Arvizu] and Ray [Luzier], our drummer . . . The end product is a really good mix of old Korn mixed with some new elements. It's got a fresh new Korn 2013 sound. And the melodies, the lyrics and the choruses on these songs are at a new level. It's my favorite album by Korn."

For frontman Jonathan Davis, having Head back as part of the family is welcome news. "Originally, him and Munky, what was interesting about the band and what we did was that twin guitar thing. So I think it brought unity back between those two," Davis says. "To have our brother back was really good for morale. It was just fun being in the studio with his goofy ass again."

Nine Inch Nails Announce New Album, Band signs to Columbia to release first album since 2008...

Nine Inch Nails will release a new studio album — their first since 2008's The Slip — some time this year on their new label, Columbia Records.

"I've been less than honest about what I've really been up to lately," Trent Reznor said in a statement. "For the last year, I've been secretly working non-stop with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder on a new, full-length Nine Inch Nails record, which I am happy to say is finished and frankly fucking great."

Reznor told Rolling Stone last year that he was working on new Nine Inch Nails material after the group disbanded after their farewell tour in 2009. Earlier this year, the frontman confirmed NIN was indeed coming back with a brand-new lineup that would play a handful of festivals (including Lollapalooza and Outside Lands) this summer and arena dates in the fall.

Reznor has kept busy in the years since he ended NIN, scoring music for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and The Social Network and winning an Oscar with Ross for the latter.

"This is the real impetus and motivation behind the decision to assemble a new band and tour again," Reznor added in the release. "My forays into film, HTDA and other projects really stimulated me creatively and I decided to focus that energy on taking Nine Inch Nails to a new place."
