KoRn signed to Roadrunner Records

KORN has signed a worldwide recording deal with Roadrunner Records.The band's first release on the label will be its ninth studio set "Korn III -- Remember Who You Are," produced by Ross Robinson, who collaborated with the band on its first two albums. 

Fieldy (Korn Bassist) said in a statement : "When it came to putting this record out, we could not think of anyone better to help us than Roadrunner, the only label that even understands rock music anymore." An exact street date is yet to be announced, although a spokesperson for the label says it's will be on June 2010 international release.

In 2005, Korn inked a widely reported two-album deal with EMI/Virgin, which netted the metal stalwart $25 million upfront from the major (Billboard.biz, June 9, 2007). As part of the deal, EMI acquired a 30% stake in Korn's overall business through to 2010. The new deal with Roadrunner Records is a worldwide recording agreement that doesn't include any other ancillary rights. According to Roadrunner Records, Korn has sold 30 million albums worldwide since its debut was released in 1994. The band will on the road as joint headliner of the third annual 2010 Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival which takes place this July and August at venues across America and Canada. The set date of Limp Bizkit Gold Cobra the brand nu album will be on June, too. So maybe 2010 is the year of nu metal.
