Single Review
Korn - EvolutionKorn - Evolution

Korn have been busy for the past 12 months working with producer Atticus Ross on their forthcoming 'Untitled' eight studio album which will finally be released towards the end of July. A week before the release of the album, Korn will be releasing their brand new single titled 'Evolution' which Korn previewed to their army of myspace fans earlier this year. The song is about us as a human race, and how we have not evolved since monkeys, and to be fair it’s a stunning single and in my opinion one of the strongest songs Korn have released in years.

'Evolution' is such a strong song and follows on nicely from material from the bands previous album 'See You On The Other' yet still reminds me of earlier Korn material as well. The song is extremely catchy yet still maintains the heaviness Korn are known for, you can tell this is Korn from the start of the song and when Jonathon Davis' vocals kick in, everything just gets better. The song is very radio friendly and I’m sure after just a couple of listens you will have the following lyrics going around your head "And I, I do not dare deny the basic beast inside; it's right here, it's controlling my mind! And why do I deserve to die? I'm dominated by this animal that's locked up inside!" for days to come.

Its good to see Korn are back on form with Jonathon Davis' vocals sounding better than ever and the guitars reminding me of classic Korn. I personally can’t wait to hear the bands forthcoming untitled album because if 'Evolution' is anything to go by it’s going to be worth the wait.

5/5
