Jonathan Davis, frontman of Bakersfield, California-based nu-metal group Korn, has filmed a music video for the track \u2018Basic Needs\u2019. Directed and edited by Stephen Steelman, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Davis commented: \u201c\u2018Basic Needs\u2019 is essentially as close as I get to writing a love song. It also gave me a chance to explore different instruments and styles of world music, and step outside of what may be considered \u2018the norm\u2019. The two other videos I\u2019ve released for this record have been telling a story in reverse. This video continues that pattern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Davis issued debut solo full-length studio album Black Labyrinth<\/em> on May 25th, 2018 through Sumerian Records.<\/p>\n

The outing was inspired in part by the Ganzfeld Experiment, and the out-of-body experiments and hallucinations that often accompany it. Davis focused on religion, consumerism and apathy throughout Black Labyrinth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s a level of enlightenment I want to achieve,\u201d he confessed regarding Black Labyrinth<\/em>. \u201cWith all of the bullshit going, everyone is stuck on their fucking cell phones. This takes us way out of that. No matter how hard you try to fight bad things in your life, life will be what it is. It’s up to you to accept that, combat it, and move forward, or it’s up to you to be in denial. Then it becomes a thorn in your side until you finally deal with it. This is it. Just deal with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
