If you're stuck in a negative cycle with no sign of anything positive in sight, do you swim with the current or have the courage to go against it? Often we accept our issues as the norm but what if one positive action lead to a new life filled with perspective that pushes you closer to a since of happiness. You'll hear more about the story of Brian Head Welch in episode 103 of the DOMKcast.

His inspiring journey was told in the showtime documentary "Loud Crazy Love". Brian quit Korn in 2005, walking away from a 23 million dollar recording contract to raise his daughter full-time. It was in this time period where he found his spiritual journey as well-finding peace in christianity. This helped him conquer some of those demons from years past and focus his attention on his daughter Jenna who recently turned 21 years old. His journey wasn't necessarily smooth sailing at this point. Brian had to overcome many obstacles in his years outside of Korn and grow as a person. As he points out in the conversation below, his faith does not necessarily align with the religion that is predominant in America. Believing that there shouldn't be any categories or castings into a group. Christianity is one denomination and we should be accepting of others-not ridiculing them.

Did Bryan listen to much Korn while was away from the band between the years 2005 and 2013? He admits that he would critique the albums that were made from time to time. Being a guitarist, he suggestions were always turn Monkey's guitar up a bit. He said it was difficult to listen to Korn during this time period. Ultimately, rejoining the band in 2013 with a more positive outlook which heavily influenced other members of the band. Korn is older, wiser, and stronger than ever.

New album "The Nothing" due out September 13th, Brian gave us some insight on the overall feel of the album. Jonathan Davis dealt with major emotional issues over the last couple of years and it spills out into this album. Could we be getting a covers album from Korn soon? The idea has been tossed around and Brian says it's something the band has been wanting to do for awhile. They have a few covers banked and will explore the idea. The anticipation of the new Korn album "The Nothing" is immense. We anxiously await it's arrival on September 13th.
