Korn has proved it’s Here to Stay as the band has just announced its 13th studio album and released an accompanying single.
You’ll Never Find Me dropped on Wednesday morning and serves as the lead single for Korn’s upcoming record, The Nothing, which is currently slated for a Sept. 13 release through Roadrunner Records/Elektra.
The Nothing is the first piece of original music by Korn since the band’s last album, The Serenity of Suffering (2016), which debuted at the No. 4 spot on the Billboard 200 upon release.
After producing their last effort, Nick Raskulinecz is set to return to work the five-piece’s upcoming album.
The release of The Nothing came along with a harrowing and slightly unsettling “visualizer” produced by Chris Schoenman.
In regards to what The Nothing means, frontman Jonathan Davis issued an official statement, as reported by Rolling Stone.

He said: “Deep within our Earth lives an extraordinary force. Very few are aware of the magnitude and significance of this place where good/evil, dark/light, bliss/torment, loss/gain and hope/despair all exist as one — pulling at us every moment of our lives.”
“It’s not something we can choose to navigate, but rather an awareness of this ‘presence’ that surrounds us with every breath, as if we are being watched at every moment,” he continued.
“It’s the place where black and white energies attach themselves to our souls and shape our emotion, choices, perspective and ultimately our very existence,” he added. “There is a miraculous and small realm within this vortex, and it’s the only place where balance between these dynamic and polarizing forces exists — where the soul finds its refuge.
“Welcome to… The Nothing.”
The Nothing is now available for pre-order through the official Korn website.
