Korn’s Jonathan Davis Plots North American Solo Tour
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has detailed a headlining world tour behind his upcoming debut solo LP. The North American leg kicks off April 6th in Portland and concludes May 19th in Camden, New Jersey; a European leg launches June 1st in Nuremberg, Germany and wraps with a spot at Hellfest on June 22nd in Clisson, France.
Last week, Davis issued his first solo single, “What It Is,” paired with a brooding video. The clip weaves together a series of eerie scenes set in a prison: The singer endures the wrath of vicious guards, sings in a mirrored room and sits strapped to a chair as disorienting lights flash around him.
The heavy, atmospheric “What It Is” – featured on the soundtrack to film thriller American Satan – serves as the first single from Davis’ as-yet-untitled solo album, tentatively due out this summer. Davis started assembling songs for the project in 2007, often writing and recording material while on tour with Korn.
“It took 10 years, and I’m so glad this project is finally out,” he said in a statement. “It is something that is very close to me and I’m excited for the world to finally hear it. This time, I’m pulling something out of the audience. I’ve bared my soul for so fucking long, I thought it’d be really cool to pull listeners in a different direction for once.”
