Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has launched a line of pet products. The predictably, yet still rather ingeniously named Freak On A Leash pet product line features a range of pet accessories, designed by Davis himself. Very much a 'dog-person', Davis announced the Freak On A Leash launch via Instagram, writing.
"These premium products are created for all, paying homage to the horror and rock music we love. This first collection, designed exclusively by me, contains all custom products made with high-quality gunmetal hardware, leather, nylon, and plushies that will set your pet apart from the pack.”
Davis went on to reveal that Freak On A Leash has partnered exclusively with promoter Danny Swimmer Presents and Take Me Home Rescue to give fans an early look at the line, announcing an event for Saturday, October 8. The first 100 fans attending the festival to purchase Freak On A Leash merch will receive a wristband to meet Davis in person. Davis also revealed that a portion of proceeds sold at the festival, as well as the webstore launch, will be donated to the Take Me Home organization and also confirmed that the official worldwide launch date is October 28. People wanting to pick up some of the range for this pup can grab the chance to do so by heading to www.freakonaleash.com to sign up.
Freak On A Leash is named after Korn's megahit of the same name. Lifted off the band's massively successful 1999 album Follow The Leader, Freak On A Leash is one of the nu-metal originators' most iconic songs.
Dropping into a heavy music world that is currently vibing a nu-metal renaissance, Korn's latest album Requiem was released in February. Conceived out of very different circumstances than the majority of the band’s catalogue. It is an album born of time and the ability to create without pressure. Energised by a new creative process free of time constraints, the band was able to do things with Requiem that the past two decades haven't always afforded them, such as taking additional time to experiment together or diligently recording to analogue tape – processes which unearthed newfound sonic dimension and texture in their music. The result is the next genesis of Korn.
In the weeks leading up to its release, we were fortunate enough to sit down for a lengthy chat with the band's legendary guitarist James 'Munky' Shaffer to talk about the creative process and origins of Requiem, the secret to the band's longevity and their influence on current heavy music, taking several detours along the way, to gain insight into what the life and drive of one-half of the metal world's most influential and recognisable guitar duos.
