Jonathan Davis opens up his iTunes and gives ARTISTdirect.com editor Rick Florino an exclusive look at what he’s rocking while making Korn’s new album

A Taste:

Black Light Burns, Cannibal Corpse, Lil Wayne

“Right now the main focus is on the record,” says Korn frontman Jonathan Davis with a big smile.

Korn’s in the middle of crafting what’s bound to be their most brutal record yet. So in between all of that thrashing in the studio, Davis has been spinning his fare share of, get this, club hip hop and death metal. Brutality abounds in both, and it’s getting Davis in the perfect mindset to get ready to lay down vocals.

Jonathan shared his playlist with ARTISTdirect.com in this exclusive feature. Check it out below and keep your eyes on Korn. They’ll be releasing another landmark album within the next year.
