I always told management that I wish that we would wait a little bit between albums. We&#8217;re just so addicted to the studio that we get in there and we&#8217;re putting albums out every two or three years, ever since I rejoined. And so I love that there&#8217;s been delays.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re a fortunate band, we&#8217;ve been around for awhile and we&#8217;ve got an extensive catalog with a lot of well-known songs. We&#8217;re focusing right now on our live show \u2026 It feels like we don&#8217;t even need a new album. Everything&#8217;s just going so well, but that&#8217;s not to say we&#8217;re not going to find some time to go in again. I feel like it&#8217;s not priority right now.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re going to meet together and see where we&#8217;re at. There could be a couple of surprises this year \u2026 We&#8217;re going to have some cool announcements for dates around the world and stuff coming this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Korn may have fans growing restless over the wait for the band&#8217;s next studio album, but according to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288470,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[93,639,61,60,661,51597,637,278,43],"class_list":{"0":"post-288469","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hardcore","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-korn","13":"tag-lambgoat","14":"tag-metal","15":"tag-music","16":"tag-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288469","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288469"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288469\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288470"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
