The band ventured on the trio's Family Values Tour 2007 several days prior to the release and toured in support of the new record. The album was released through EMI/ Virgin in various territories, starting on July 27, 2007. On the album's 13 tracks, Korn balances every chorus with murky keyboard atmospheres and toying arrangements, with songs that deeply explore a mood before exploding into a frenzy. This time around, amid some changes-founding drummer David Silveria is on hiatus to become a restaurateur, and The Matrix left the project early in the recording process-the band has crafted perhaps its most musically serious work since 2002's Untouchables. This was later confirmed in a Reuters/Billboard article: When premiering the single " Evolution" on KROQ on May 16, 2007, guitarist Munky noted that the band re-recorded much of the Matrix's tracks with Atticus Ross because of the band being dissatisfied with how the material had turned out. This album features drummer Terry Bozzio, formerly of Missing Persons and Frank Zappa. Joey Jordison of Slipknot would tour with Korn on the Family Values Tour, along with the Bitch We Have a Problem Tour.

He mentioned that among other things, Bozzio had demanded to be a full member of the band while receiving 25% interest the band felt that this was "offensive", therefore, Korn decided not to tour with Bozzio. Munky stated in an interview that Bozzio had imposed himself on the band. " Brooks Wackerman of Bad Religion was brought in to record some tracks, and even Jonathan Davis himself contributed, something not done since 1999's Issues. Jonathan Davis claims "things just got weird. It has no limits and why not just let our fans call it whatever they wanna call it?"Īfter successfully recording six tracks with Bozzio, Zac Baird announced that Bozzio would not be touring with the band on the Family Values Tour 2007.

I'm so proud of it, we just can't wait to show people what we've done." Davis went on to say "We didn't want to label this album. He commented on the band's upcoming album, stating it "will not be titled." He elaborated, "We had the world's greatest drummer Terry Bozzio in and Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion in and I played drums on some songs too.

On May 28, vocalist Jonathan Davis joined Dutch radio station 3FM immediately after his performance at the Pinkpop Festival.

Also, the band recruited Zac Baird as keyboardist on this album. This album was the first without former drummer David Silveria, instead, Korn enlisted the help of Terry Bozzio, Brooks Wackerman, as well as Jonathan Davis for drumming.
