Korn have shared a video of them performing Insane live at the Los Angeles Ace Hotel.

They played the invite-only show on the release day of their 12th album, The Serenity Of Suffering last week. Frontman Jonathan Davis recently said the title for the album was inspired by his “dark feelings.”

He said: “I felt this one I came up with really nailed what I was going through when I was writing the record. It’s a place I always go to – it’s the inspiration when I’m writing music.

“The title means I’ve always battled dark feelings in my life. I’ve been there so much that I feel more comfortable there than when I’m in a happy spot.”

He continued: “I’m not saying I don’t enjoy being happy, because I do. I’ve got lots of things to be happy about – I have a beautiful family, I get to tour the world and do what I love.”

Davis also credited producer Nick Raskulinecz with making the album heavier and more creative than it would otherwise have been.

He added: “Nick really captured the band. He really pushed me and wouldn’t let me say, ‘I don’t want to do that song.’

“He pushed me to the point where I actually came up with some really interesting stuff on the songs.”

The exclusive Los Angeles show will be broadcast all week on SiriusXM.

Korn will return to the UK with Limp Bizkit in December.
