During KORN‘s performance at Louder Than Life on October 2 in Louisville, Kentucky, Corey Taylor joined the band on stage to perform “A Different World” live for the first time ever. Watch the professionally filmed video footage.
Song is taken from KORN‘s upcoming album, “The Serenity Of Suffering”, which comes comes out October 21 via Roadrunner Records.
KORN singer Jonathan Davis spoke about getting Taylor to appear on the track. “We were trying to figure out who we wanted to collaborate with, and I’m like, ‘You know, that’s the one, that’s the guy,'” he said. “And I texted him, I’m like, ‘Do you want to be on a new KORN track?’ He’s all, ‘Hell yeah! When and where, what do I do?’ So he did great on the song. I already did my parts, I’m like, ‘Do what you do, man.’ And I like the way he did it, the approach: he starts creeping in underneath the song, you can start slowly hearing his voice under mine, and it crescendos up into the middle part where he sings, and then it’s just full-on at the end, so the song came out great.”
Taylor said that he became involved in “A Different World” after receiving “a phone call, like, ‘Hey, do you wanna do this?’ And I was on the plane the next day. I flew in, and I hadn’t even heard the music. I was, like, ‘Yeah.’ ‘Cause as a fan and as a friend, it was just something that we had been talking about for years. And all the stars aligned and I got to do this track. And it is heavy, dude. It is so righteous. People are gonna lose their minds.
“This whole [new KORN] album, and I’m gonna brag now, because I’ve heard eleven songs of this, it is such a great throwback to the first three KORN albums and mixed with that maturity that they have now. Like, it’s, really, really heavy. People are gonna lose their minds. It’s that good.”
