Two of the biggest names in modern metal collide on the devastatingly heavy new track from Korn andSlipknot's Corey Taylor, "A Different World".
The brooding song has had quite a bit of hype surrounding it with fans dying to hear the two nu metal icons on the same record. Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis talked to Metal Hammer about the origin of the song and how the two singers linked up.
“When I was working on this song, Corey texted Nick [Raskulinecz, producer] and it popped in my head that he would be the perfect person to collaborate on the record,” Davis said. “I’ve collaborated with everybody I’ve cared to collaborate with so far in my career, so it was hard trying to think of someone, but it so happened that Corey texted at the right time.
“I’ve been friends with him for a long long time, he’s covered my ass a couple of times, when I got really sick back in 2006 with that crazy blood disorder he came out and did a couple of songs with the band so we could at least show up and say that we tried to play.
“We’ve had a long relationship over the years, he’s a good guy and a great singer.”
