It's basically an imprint now and I'm looking for a band that I really believe in and I can get behind. I hooked up with, and have always been a huge Deadsy fan and I've always taken them when they've been on different labels. I got them signed through Immortal, which is the label that signed us when we first started out with "Happy". �. 

Patty - What's the future for Korn after "Family Values"? Jonathan- After "Family Values" I think we're going to be going back into the studio and making another record. So, we're planning on getting another one out there and then touring in Europe starting next year, and then we will be touring again for another year.
