Korn have released a new video for their track Black Is The Soul.

The song originally featured on their most recent album The Serenity Of Suffering and comes after the band launched a brief teaser clip for the promo yesterday.

Speaking about the track, frontman Jonathan Davis tells Noisey: “Black Is The Soul is a song about being pulled away from the right path and the video reflects that experience of trying to navigate those conflicting emotions.

Guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer adds: “I feel that this songwriting and production paired with the aesthetic look of the video shows a maturity and growth from the band that is continually evolving.”

Korn were forced to postponed a run of tour dates last month but will continue their live shows as planned from June 12, including an appearance at the Reading and Leeds festivals.
