The official video for the song"Rotting In Vain", which stars actorTommy Flanagan("Sons Of Anarchy","Gladiator"), can be seen below. The clip, which taps into the dark underbelly of a bizarre world, was lensed by famed rock video directorDean Karr.
The cover art for"The Serenity Of Suffering"was created by acclaimed artistRon English. It depicts a teenageKornfan at a dystopian acid-nightmare funfair who is clutching a disembowelled and skeletal version of the doll who adorned 1999's"Issues".
KornfrontmanJonathan DavistoldRolling Stoneabout the track: "'Rotting In Vain'was written about being in that black place, being in situations that I don't like in life - be it relationships, or feeling when you're stuck and you're just being abused or you don't like where you're at, and you just sit there and rot. It takes you years and years to figure out how to claw your way out. That's where'Rotting In Vain'came from. I'm just sitting there, fucking dying and letting it happen for years and years and not helping myself to get out of that place. That's the vibe that inspired the song."
"The Serenity Of Suffering"marks the secondKornalbum since the return of guitaristBrian "Head" Welch, who said, "This is a record to me that the intensity ofKORNis back, and the live energy. Raw energy is there."
Korn's co-headlining tour withRob Zombie,"Return Of The Dreads", kicked off on July 19 in Englewood, Colorado. That trek winds down on September 3 in Bristow, Virginia.
Kornwill also hit the road this fall with co-headlinersBreaking Benjaminfor the"Nocturnal Underground Tour", which will kick off on September 24 in Fargo, North Dakota and run through late October.
