KORN vocalist Jonathan Davis confirmed the news of his previously rumored new solo release and plans to tour in support of it. The album will reportedly hit stores in the spring/2018. In a Facebook livestream from this past Monday, December 18th, Jonathan Davis states:
“I’m finishing my record finally. It’s been… I started it in 2008, so I guess it’ll be 10 years of work. It’s the J.D. S.F.A. record, but J.D. S.F.A. is no longer. Unfortunately, since Shane‘s [Gibson] passed, that band’s done and it can’t be recreated. So this is J.D. right now.
I’m really excited. I’ve been working on these songs for 10 years, and it’s turned out amazing. So there’ll be a record coming out next year. I just shot videos yesterday for a couple of songs, and the tour will be next year.”
Jonathan Howsmon Davis was born and raised in Bakersfield, California. He recorded demos in his father’s studio during his teenage years. Then he later joined a band called Sex Art, which also included Ryan Shuck (now he is the guitarist for Orgy). Sex Art only ever released one song, entitled “Inside”. One night, when Sex Art was playing in a club, James ‘Munky’ Shaffer & Brian ‘Head’ Welch, then of “L.A.P.D.”, saw him singing, and asked him to join their band “Creep”. After Jon auditioned, he immediately got the job and they became Korn. KoRn have gone on to release twelve studio albums:
Korn (1994) Life Is Peachy (1996) Follow the Leader (1998) Issues (1999) Untouchables (2002) Take a Look in the Mirror (2003) See You on the Other Side (2005) Untitled album (2007) Korn III: Remember Who You Are (2010) The Path of Totality (2011) The Paradigm Shift (2013) Serenity of Suffering (2016)
