Korn Worst Is On Its Way (health Remix)

It’s been nearly 30 years since Korn emerged onto the scene and ushered in the Nu Metal era. Whether you appreciate their music or not, they’ve remained consistent as one of the most successful bands of their time.

Earlier this year, they came through with the release of their fourteenth studio album, Requiem to critical acclaim. The project will certainly land on many year-end lists in metal. However, Korn is blessing their fans with a bit more music before we close out 2022.

This morning, they shared a revamped version of the single, “Worst Is On Its Way” alongside their labelmates HEALTH. However, the record also gets a boost from Danny Brown, a long-time fan of Korn, and Meechy Darko. The synth-heavy production meets orchestral-level composition but the pulsating percussion leads to excellent performances from the Detroit rapper and the Flatbush Zombies artist.

Brown’s penchant for the electronic sound takes center stage during his verse in what feels like a call-back to the Fool’s Gold era. Meanwhile, Meechy Darko’s goth-influenced bars perfectly compliment Danny Brown’s efforts and HEALTH’s production. Brown and Meechy are two artists that easily meet the gargantuan energy of Korn and it certainly produces undeniable results.

The collaboration between Danny Brown, Meechy Darko, and Korn is a full-circle moment. While the “Bath Salts” rapper admits to listening to the nu-metal band as a 9-year-old, Danny has previously paid homage to the group during his live performance. Last year, the rapper performed at Red Bull’s Soundclash in Chicago where he delivered a cover of Korn’s “Freak On A Leash.” Less than a year later, he’s secured an actual track with the legendary band.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can’t get away
Somewhere inside
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on its way

[Verse 1: Danny Brown]
Trapped in my mind, headspace like a prison cell
Heart broken, no chains but I wish it well
Severed hell, my summer times was Winterfell
Citadels we stuck together, tooth and nail
Hot head, cold blooded, ain’t nothing
We lucky if we make it to be something
Trust issues what’s with you? Can’t understand
[?] I’m coping with, [?] to the plan
Keep calling but I don’t wanna listen
Don’t wanna go back but I still pay a visit
Nothing ever change, everything remain the same
Got my head in the clouds, getting dark when it rain
Lost in the fog, feeling no hope at all
With no one to call when I’m ’bout to lose it all
Lost in the fog, feeling no hope at all
With no one to call when I’m ’bout to lose it all

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can’t get away
Somewhere inside
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on its way

[Verse 2: Meechy Darko]
Pleasure and pain come from the same part of the brain
Enemies, friends, different label, same thing
Unstable my mental, my brain and my spirit is shattered
The pieces be what I’m sayin’
Child of the corn, scorned, grew up a screw up
Since negative one the lost cause falling up but never falling off
There is no light without dark, know the formula
Love blood shed, in war we trust
Ring-ring, call my bluff
Karma’s a bitch, I love her, she’s a good slut
Since they dug me up, it’s been opposite of luck, misfortune
I was nine bumpin’ Korn in my Sony Walkman
I was born under blood moon, red roses
Man destroys and rebuilds, if you ain’t notice

[Chorus: Jonathan Davis]
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can’t get away
Somewhere inside
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on its way

[Bridge: Jonathan Davis]
It makes me sick
But I deal with it
Set it all aside
My confidence overrides

[Scatting: Jonathan Davis]

[Outro]
Calling me
I feel it coursing through the inside
And I can’t get away
Somewhere inside
I feel it breathing and I realize
The worst is on its way
