KORN's 11th Album Details (rumors before dubstep album):

• According to guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer, Korn has begun writing new material for their next album. He explains, "We have probably three songs we wrote a couple, two, three months ago. We went into the studio, we wrote some songs, Jon demoed the songs on his computer, and then we took them into the studio and played them live and tweaked them a little bit. Then we put those down and recorded them. They're cool. They kind of remind me a little bit of the Soundgarden style, that sort of Seattle sound… just one of them. The other songs are sort of different, a little more in the experimental stage right now. I don't want to give too much away. We're definitely moving forward, we'll probably start recording in April to try and finetune this sound we're developing." blabbermouth.net
  
• It has been rumored across the web that Brendan O'Brien will be producing the album. He previously worked with the band on their fourth studio album, Issues.
  UPDATE: There has been no mention in articles or interviews of Brendan O'Brien's involvement, and this was also later disproven when Jon mentioned in a Modlife chat that the band plans to write the tenth studio album the way they see fit, with no other external influence.blank 
• It was also stated last year by Jonathan Davis in an interview with ARTISTdirect that one track recorded for the album features acoustic guitar — a first for Korn — tentatively titled "Lullaby for a Sadist". ARTISTdirect
  
• It has been rumored in an NME interview that KoRn are set to enter the studio in April to start recording the follow-up to Korn III: Remember Who You Are. NME
  UPDATE: This has later been disproven, as KoRn was in the studio to record their upcoming EP, not their next album. KoRn has instead opted to expand their dubstep effort.
  
• Jonathan Davis stated in a Modlife chat to fans that the band plans to write the tenth studio album the way they see fit, with no other external influences. He went on to say the album is planned to have a theatrical and experimental vibe. In response to a fan's query about the album being "heavy", Davis said, "Some songs yes, others kind of, the rest: no." The album will be eclectic with some "weird, soft songs" similar to Korn's untitled album, some "heavy, crazy moshing shit", and even some hip-hop elements.
