Korn bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu has addressed some concerns about his upcoming return to music with his long-running side project Stillwell. Fieldy has been absent from the multi-platinum nü-metal pioneers he rose to fame with since announcing his hiatus back in June of 2021. Since then he has remained relatively quiet on the matter, with his bandmates not offering up much by way of details either.
In a statement shared to his social media today, September 06th Fieldy offered:
“Some clarity about STILLWELL
I’ve been doing Stillwell for about 16 years, this isn’t something new, although to some of you it is, that’s cool.
Along with my bros Wuv (POD) and Q (Arsonists, Radamus), we’ve put out 3 albums, we’re about to drop our 4th.
It has nothing to do with Korn or my status with Korn or anything else. It isn’t Heavy music, it’s alternative rock.
We’ve always wrote Stillwell music while on tour with Korn or at home.
We’ve actually opened for Korn back in 2011, and to add one more little fact, the 1st Stillwell video “Killing Myself to Live” was during a Korn concert (2006), back when David was in Korn, he’s in the video, that’s how far back Stillwell goes. Again, it isn’t metal or nu metal or heavy music, and that was my way of being respectful to the integrity of Korn, I knew Stillwell had to be different.
Thank you to those who have shown love and support and to those that aren’t into Stillwell, there’s plenty of heavy bands out there to fulfill your needs.
Thank you
Fieldy“
Despite the continual question mark hanging over his status in Korn, Fieldy will be back with new music from Stillwell later this month, with the group set to debut a new track on September 16th. Since stepping down from Korn, Korn have been touring with Suicidal Tendencies bassist Ra Díaz.
