​Korn front man Jonathan Davis has revealed full details of his debut solo album. Due for release on 25th May 2018, 'Black Labyrinth' comes ahead of Davis' appearance at this years' Download Festival at Castle Donington. Pre-orders for the physical album are available now at at jonathandavis.com and sumerianmerch.com. A thirty second teaser clip from the set can be viewed below. 

Diverse and progressive, 'Black Labyrinth' represents a natural evolution for Jonathan, whose previous musical contributions have yielded two GRAMMY® Award wins, eight GRAMMY® Award nominations, worldwide sales of 40 million-plus, and countless sold out shows in nearly every corner of the globe. In addition to the album’s well-received first single, 'What It Is', which debuted as the #1 most added single on Rock radio, the new album includes 'Final Days', a melodic and atmospheric track, accentuated by subtle hints of sitar and tabla, the straightforward arena-rock anthem 'Underneath My Skin', and ten other tracks primarily recorded live to tape, a departure from Korn’s heavily calculated, meticulous, studio approach to creation. Longtime fans of Korn will still find the familiarity of the band’s unique and unforgettable vocals, synths and commanding guitars in key track’s like 'What You Believe' and 'Everyone'.

Inspired in part by the Ganzfeld Experiment and the out of body experiments and hallucinations that often accompany it, Davis focused on religion, consumerism and apathy throughout the album. “There’s a level of enlightenment I want to achieve,” he confesses regarding 'Black Labyrinth'. “With all of the bullshit going, everyone is stuck on their fucking cell phones. This takes us way out of that. No matter how hard you try to fight bad things in your life, life will be what it is. It’s up to you to accept that, combat it, and move forward, or it’s up to you to be in denial. Then, it becomes a thorn in your side until you finally deal with it. This is it. Just deal with it.”

Black Labyrinth track list:
1. Underneath My Skin
2. Final Days
3. Everyone
4. Happiness
5. Your God
6. Walk On By 
7. The Secret
8. Basic Needs
9. Medicate 
10. Please Tell Me 
11. What You Believe
12. Gender
13. What It Is


Davis is no stranger to finding success while pushing the boundaries of music. Throughout over 20 years in music, his presence has coursed through film scores, popular video game franchises, and official remixes for the likes of Steve Aoki and more. Along the way, he has also lent his voice to tracks for everyone from Linkin Park to Tech N9ne. 
​

Jonathan Davis will bring these songs to the live arena for the first time in the UK with an exclusive appearance at Download Festival, where he’s scheduled to play the Zippo Encore Stage. For tickets and more info check www.downloadfestival.co.uk.
