Korn’s 10th studio album, “The Path of Totality”, is expected to sell between 45,0000 and 50,000 copies in the US in the first week of release. You can read the full story below.
The figure was released by industry website Hits Daily Double, and based on the sales of the record in one day after it arrived in stores on December 6th via Roadrunner Records.
The new album has been described as a ‘risk’,  adding an electronic layer by working together with dubstep producers and DJs. Among them are Skillrex, 12th Planet and Kill The Noise.
The band’s singer Jonathon Davis was quoted as saying: ”We’re one of those bands that take the chance and we really just want to put out music that we like making,” he said. “We don’t care if the people hate or if the people love it — we just want people to have open minds. I think it takes balls as a band to do something like that and to throw something out different, ’cause most bands are scared and they end up sounding the same every record.”
A considerable amount of the new material for the album was recorded at Jonathon Davis’s own home studio.
Korn’s last album ”Korn III – Remember Who You Are” positioned at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart after an opening of 63,000 copies in July 2010.
