Korn Taking A Break

Korn has announced that they will be taking an extended break and will not begin writing new material until 2009. Frontman Jonathan Davis has assured Korn fans that they will not have to worry about the band breaking up or being away for too long.

Jonathan Davis states:

"We've been going fifteen years and we need to just chill out for awhile. And you know me, I got to keep playing, I got to keep writing music so I don't go crazy, so I decided it would be a perfect time to do this.

"It's not like a hiatus or anything, we're still all good, it's just when everybody's ready, we'll get back together and go do it. We just need to recharge our batteries and get hungry again."

Within the past five years, Korn has released 3 studio albums and a greatest hits compilation. Plus, they just finished playing a handful of shows at Ozzfest, Cornerstone Festival and Rock the Universe Festival in Orlando, Florida. Yeah, I guess a break isn’t such a bad idea after all.
