Korn's Head and Munky Feel Really Connected On New Album

(TeamRock Radio) Korn's Brian 'Head' Welch says he and fellow guitarist James 'Munky' Shaffer have connected like never before while recording the band's upcoming 12th album.

Welch returned to the fold ahead of 2013 album The Paradigm Shift, having left in 2005. And after spending three years on the road in support of the release, he says he and Shaffer are performing at the top of their games.

Welch tells 95.5 KLOS: "Me and Munky have connected in a way that we haven't, literally, in years and years. The last record was awesome, and I love it. But we connected at Carolina Rebellion in 2012, I played one song with them.

"Two weeks later, I was on the phone with Munky, and then a couple of weeks after that, I was in the studio with them. So it was, like, 'Hey, you wanna come write with us?'

"So we've had time to hang out and jam together for three years on the road. And so me and Munky really have connected as guitar twins, guitar duo, whatever you wanna call it. And so this is a really guitar-heavy record.

"And for the first time in our whole career, we recorded our guitars at the same time, facing each other and just jamming, riffing out." Read more here.
