Korn might have picked a band time to release a single, what with hard rock fans so focused on the arrival of Tool's catalog to streaming services.
But nonetheless, Korn's new song, "Cold," is a celebration of everything the band is great at, and most of all it's really heavy.
With an abbreviated intro, the band lets loose at about the 0:14 mark with some classic Korn dissonance and a neck-spraining groove riff. Front man Jonathan Davis accompanies with as guttural a vocal as he's ever performed before the tune opens up into a swinging verse, punctuated by the detuned guitars.
The song rides another mosh riff for a few bars before introducing a more melodic refrain.
