Following some cryptic teases that involved an Instagram filter, real-world billboards and more, Korn have unveiled their brand new track “Start The Healing” along with an official music video for it directed by Tim Saccenti.
It’s the first single to be launched from the band’s fourteenth studio album “Requiem“, which will receive a February 04th release date through a new partnership the band have struck with Loma Vista Recordings. Pre-orders for that record have just gone up over at this location.
Saccenti said of the video:
“Our idea for this video was to mutate that aspect of the DNA of Korn, of what makes them so inspiring, their mix of raw power and transportive aesthetics and human emotion.
I wanted to take the viewer on an emotional journey, as the song does, a visceral, cathartic death and rebirth that will hopefully help transport the listener through whatever their personal struggles are.
Collaborating with 3-D artist Anthony Ciannamea we tapped into Korn‘s mythology and explored their vast well of light and darkness to create a surreal, liminal-pace body-horror nightmare.”
