Former Korn guitarist Brian Head Welch marks a new beginning with the announcement that his band will now go by the name Love & Death. “I put this band together in 2009” states Welch. “Since then, we've experienced some very intense highs and lows. Michael Valentine, Dan Johnson, J.R. Bareis and myself have toured around the world playing a lot of killer shows, but we've also had some heart shattering difficulties along the way as well. To us, the name "Love and Death" symbolizes everything we've been through as a band over the last few years. We love this band so much and we'll go through hell to connect with our fans. We've proven that to ourselves over and over again.”

With Love & Death, the music now lives under it’s own banner. “Many people have confused my speaking dates and our band dates because they were both being booked as Brian Head Welch” says Welch. “I have wanted to go to a band name for branding my music for a few years. It has been an ongoing discussion with my management, but we were just starting to tour and I was in the middle of supporting my third book and it seemed like a bad time to switch brands. Now with the new music coming out, its time to really separate the things I do. I want the music to be about music. I will still be doing public speaking under Brian Head Welch. I am happy that all the confusion will be over.”

Love & Death formed when Welch decided to have band try outs on YouTube in 2009. “I picked the guys and then had a jam session in Phoenix” says Welch. “Over the last couple of years, there have been a few line up changes as we went through normal growing pains. The current band has been together and touring for a while now and they are a big part of the new music and the future of this new brand.”

The band’s latest single “Paralyzed” is already #5 on the BDS rock chart (the single was released under the name Brian Head Welch). “Paralyzed” was produced by Jason Rauch (Red, Breaking Benjamin) and mixed by Lee Bridges (Third Day, Newsboys). “‘Paralyzed’ was one of the first songs co-written with Producer Jason Rauch” states Welch. “He came to me with the idea and we both dove into it until it was all there. Jason is really helping me get back to crushing riffs. My first solo CD was an experimental album so the riffs were definitely lacking. Today's a new day and I'm excited about the future. ‘Paralyzed’ is only a taste of what's to come.”

J Devil (Jonathan Davis) now has a website. Check it out!

Yes, its true! David has joined Kornspace and if you don't believe us, then, that's your problem! We've always been a place to 'cite your sources' and its definitely true in this case. David called me on the phone last night while the photo was snapped late on Monday night. [Photo credit: Photo by Cory Tarallo]

I wanted to quote some questions that David answered while he was on here, chatting with fans:

Why did you sell your gear? Why did you leave Korn?
David: I had ten drum sets and had to get rid of some for lack of storage space...that's it. I just wanted to be in a rock band and enjoy all of it. I left KORN because they had such bad egos and negative attitudes that I couldn't take it anymore. End of story

On INFINIKA...
David: Some of you will like my new album some will not. It sounds nothing like KORN but why would it? Been there, done that.

Did you ask HEAD to join your band?
David: I didn't ask Head to be in my band. I asked him if he wants to do a KORN reunion tour and he said 'no'. I haven't talked to JD since November 2006.
(Kornspace Note: this talk was 6 months ago. Head has since changed his mind)

On absence...
David: Remember people I am a person just like you. I have a family and a life. It's pretty selfish for fans to think we owe our entire life to you and we are not entitled to any family life. Really..think about it guys.

Future plans?
David: I have a new band (INFINIKA) and we'll be touring by the summer.

Please understand that David did not come here to dish dirt on KORN - he came here because LOC lurks KS and said I like your new band. David didn't know the commercial for the band was out there. So he logged into KS to talk about INFINIKA. Stay tuned to Kornspace for more INFINIKA news as it becomes available!

This Korn interview features Munky talking about the writing process for 'The Path of Totality' and short interviews from FLINCH and 12th Planet.
