12th Planet, Excision, Skrillex & more on KoRn's 'dubstep' album
Saw this article today on InTheMix.com.au. What are your thoughts? First we have news that Paris Hilton and David Guetta are working on an album together, and now on the opposite side of the coin, a KoRn and Skrillex collab.
For me personally, I think dubstep and metal surprisingly go hand in hand. Both are very aggressive and in-your-face styles of music that primarily appeal to teens (not actually a fact but just something I have observed from afar). However, I would have expected KoRn to do a dubstep side project, not a full album!

Korn - Get Up (Feat. Skrillex) by kornofficial
File this one under �headlines you wouldn�t have seen two years ago�. On 12 November 2011, nu-metal survivors Korn will release album number ten, The Path To Totality, which normally wouldn�t raise a blip on the inthemix radar. Things are different this time, though, thanks to the involvement of bass fiends Kill The Noise, Excision, 12th Planet and Skrillex, who readied us for all this back in April. That�s right, concerned citizens of the world: Korn has made its �dubstep album�.
With fittingly Korn-y titles like Chaos Lives In Everything, Narcissistic Cannibal and Burn The Obedient, The Path To Totality is certainly a curious prospect. �Normally it would drive me crazy because I think drum machines are soulless,� Korn�s drummer Ray Lazier told Download magazine. �But [singer Jonathan Davis] said, �No, we�re going to experiment with triggers,� which I�ve never done before. So we actually triggered the sounds Skrillex made with my kit � I�m actually playing them live.�
As we hardly need to tell you, the reaction from Korn acolytes has been decidedly mixed. Sample message board appraisal: �Dubstep is the dumbest f***ing thing ever created.� However you cut it, it�s certainly notable that the likes of Summadayze visitor 12th Planet and Excision are throwing their weight behind such a divisive band. Have a listen to the Skrillex collab Get Up to assess whether you�re intrigued or queasy at the prospect of an album�s worth of this.
I think the music journalism illuminati or the fans need to make a new name for this so-called "dubstep" sound that folks like skrillex are making.
When I think dubstep, I think of el-b, burial, james blake, kode9, which have a very distinctive UK sound that's derivative from garage.
When I hear skrillex's stuff, I just hear alt rock with synths. Skrillex and El-B sound like night and day.

well Korn already did an album with Infected Mushroom metal + edm isn't new but yes, pretty strange that they go straight for the album instead of testing with a single on the first place.

i actually like it. both metal and brostep/american wobble dubstep are genres that are "incomplete", to me. metal has all the soul pouring out in the vocals and guitars, but the beat department is lacking and uninspiring (all the drummers sound the same). brostep has great drums and rhythm, and has all the angst aesthetic, it just needs actual full lyrical vocals to complete it. they complete each other.
It's funny, a friend of mine who was huge into nu-metal in the late 90's (Korn, Limp Bizkit)... is now big into Skrillex, and wanted to go to Electric Zoo with me to specifically see him. I could definitely see the 2 genres go hand in hand.
I get nothing but kids on who come up to me and try to educate me on how badass Skrillex is. I get slut whore e-tard candy gogo girls who tell me they love him and wanna suck his d*ck but they get their panties bunched because Skrillex is a fag.
Still a fag.
Brostep is essentially the new nu-metal: dumb-fuck mosh music. In less than a year, we're likely to see former trance producers jump on the brostep bandwagon, and we'll have our Linkin Park of the genre, officially signaling its coming demise.
(one can hope...)

| Originally posted by Rodri Santos Most representative industrial metal band is Rammstein, they take some edm influence with synth stabs flanger filters but it's not electronic music. |
there are a lot of bands that sound alike wouldn't say that they were pioneers on the genre but they took their inspiration directly from Kraftwerk and pushed it a bit further, around 80's with all the disco hype edm started to mix with rock/pop but i think they were one of the firsts to introduce it in metal and now many metal bands have a keyboard and some synths around.

Skrillex ≠ dubstep
That sample track was horrible.
What the hell is brostep?

Ishkur's guide is the kind of biased comment a guetto rap listener does, it's clear what he supports and what he doesn't.

That sample Korn track was atrocious. Too bad, I love Korns previous work, but if this is the direction of their new album count me out.
I was going to say they should go with calling it Middle-Class-America-I-Discovered-Drugs-Recently-Teen-Angstep, but avanavana beat me to it through much more succinct means.
