Korn have confirmed their 12th album, The Serenity Of Suffering, will be released on October 21 via Roadrunner Records.
And they’ve debuted a video for Rotting In Vain, the first track to appear from the follow-up to 2013’s The Paradigm Shift.
The Serenity Of Suffering, which features a guest appearance from Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor, was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and it’s available for pre-order now.
Korn hired Sons Of Anarchy actor Tommy Flanagan to appear in the video, which was shot in a century-old former brothel in downtown Los Angeles.

Frontman Jonathan Davis tells Rolling Stone: “Rotting In Vain was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I don’t like in life – feeling you’re stuck and you’re just being abused, and you just sit there and rot.
“That’s where Rotting In Vain came from: I’m just sitting there, dying, and letting it happen for years and years.”
Speaking in a live Facebook video, Davis said last night that the new work was sonically comparable to 2002 album Untouchables, adding: “It spans the whole of our career. It’s an amazing record – we worked really hard on it.”
Korn are currently touring North America, with further road trips to follow.
