"Jonathan was just bugging out. So we thought, ‘That may work out if Chester sang on the verse’”: The unreleased Korn album we’ve been waiting 20 years to hear – complete with Chester Bennington collaboration

Metal’s enormous, subterranean vaults are full of albums that have never seen the light of day. From NIN spin-off Tapeworm to Lemmy’s fabled solo record, unreleased albums by some of music’s biggest names are just sitting there gathering dust alongside The Ark Of The Covenant and other forgotten artefacts.

One of the most famous of these mythical albums is by Korn. It’s a record that dates back 20 years, and has been the subject of endless rumours and speculation ever since. Its title? Korn Kovers.
