Brian "Head" Welch says James "Munky" Shaffer and him have really connected on Korn's upcoming album.
The guitarist spoke with 95.5 KLOS about the duo's ability to rise to the top on their twelfth studio album.
"Me and Munky have connected in a way that we haven't, literally, in years and years. The last record was awesome, and I love it. But we connected at Carolina Rebellion in 2012, I played one song with them."
He continued, "So we've had time to hang out and jam together for three years on the road. And so me and Munky really have connected as guitar twins, guitar duo, whatever you wanna call it. And so this is a really guitar-heavy record."
Welch had left Korn in 2005, but returned in 2013 ahead of the band's 2013 release The Paradigm Shift.
