KoRn – Munky Launches All Star Solo Project
KoRn guitarist James ‘Munky’ Shaffer announced today plans to release a new project entitled Fear and the Nervous System due out August 8. The record will be released on his own label, Emotional Syphon Records.
The band features:
James Christian Shaffer (“Munky”), guitars and vocals
Billy Gould (Faith No More), bass
Wes Borland (Black Light Burns, Limp Bizki), guitars
Brooks Wackerman (Bad Religion, Tenacious D), drums and percussion
Leopold Ross, programming and guitars
Zach Baird, keyboards and programming
The album will be produced by Shaffer, Ross, and Jim Monti, with additional production by Tim Harkins, Leopold Ross and Danny Lohner of NINE INCH NAILS.
Famed producer Ross Robinson (Slipknot, KoRn) comments: “What can I do to ever come close to feeling James’s level of pure ruthless courage through a guitar? Since I’ve worked with him, I’ve tried to inspire, convince, beg, bleed, cry, prod and nearly die, hoping to hit that bar with others. I’m grateful to know what ‘it’ is, and where it always exists—in my brother, James. His solo band? Yes, please!”
The songs are being recorded at Music Grinder Studios in Hollywood , CA , with Jim Monti handling the mixing duties.
