Korn have released a brief video teasing new music from their upcoming 12th album.

A video shared on Instagram features a short clip of new music along with the date ‘July 22, 2016,’ when it is expected that the accompanying music video will be revealed in full. The teaser can be viewed below.

Korn are joined in the clip by Scottish actor Tommy Flanagan, who starred as Chibs Telford in hit TV series Sons Of Anarchy and also had roles in Peaky Blinders and Gotham.

This month, Metal Hammer exclusively revealed that Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor will guest on the next Korn album.

Guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer said: “We have Corey singing on one track and it’s going to be a fan favourite because he really lets loose. On a heaviness scale of one to 10 with 10 being the 1994 self-titled, this album is a definite nine.”

Fellow guitarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch previously said frontman Jonathan Davis “grabbed his soul and ripped it open” while recording the “intense” follow-up to 2013’s The Paradigm Shift.

He added: “Every song, I think, is a live song. And so it’s gonna be hard to choose which ones we play live, because that’s how the whole record’s written.

“Jonathan always digs deep and shares painful stuff, but I feel like he grabbed his soul and ripped it open for this record again, like he used to do, and people are gonna feel that.”

Korn have a string of tour dates remaining in 2016.
