Alt-rockers Korn have experimented with a new sound on their upcoming album.
The group’s tenth album, “The Path to Totallity,” features collaborations with Dubstep producers like Skrillex, 12th Planet, Excision and Kill The Noise. The album is slated for release on November 15.
“We like to experiment and try things and we’re not gonna put out something that we don’t all like,” Korn frontman Jon Davis told ThePulseOfRadio earlier this year. “So I think me and Munky (guitar) and Fieldy (bass) and Ray (drums) are really, really excited about this.”
Korn’s single featuring Skrillex, “Get Up!” is featured on Madden 2012 which is for sale now.

From dubstep bass lines to old school Euro dance vocals and melodies, American pop music has seen a drastic increase in EDM sounds that not long ago many artists wouldn’t have touched with a 10-foot pole.
Most recently it’s been The Black Eyed Peas’ new single “Just Can’t Get Enough,” from their album “The Beginning,” which came out at the end of last year. For those who haven’t heard it yet, the song features a major twist after what was already a perfectly solid tune.
