Kontrovers: In einem jüngst veröffentlichen Interview mit MTV.com meinte Jonathan Davis auf die Frage ob Korn Fans jetzt auch Dubstep Fans werden würden"This is the future; it’s the new hip-hop, it’s the new metal, it’s the new everything." (komplettes Statement unten, komplettes Interview gibts hier)

Korn hatte im letzten Jahr im speziellen durch die Kooperation mit dem Dup-Step Künstler "Skrillex" für Aufsehen und einigen Wirbel in der Metal-Fangemeinde gesorgt. Ob die Äußerung der ehrlichen Auffassung Davis' entspricht oder nur ein wohl platzierter Presseaufhänger war, um das kommende Album in den Medien zu halten, sei mal dahingestellt. 

"Do you think that Korn fans will actually crossover into being dubstep fans though?

"Some will, sure. I think we did that with Follow the Leader too. Hip-hop was blowing up at that time. Now it’s all commercialized so this is kind of the new hip-hop in that sense. It was about being street and being underground and having skills. These guys, all the shows they do, the underground shows. You know, Skrillex for example, he does so much for the scene. People say he killed the genre, others say he made it huge. He has a lot of haters but he’s got a lot of people who love him too. There are always purists. It’s like all the purist metal-heads that said we were really rock when we came out. Trailblazers of any kind of music are going to get that flack. People are going to want to hold on the past. This is the future; it’s the new hip-hop, it’s the new metal, it’s the new everything."
