Korn drags listeners back into the void with the first taste of “The Nothing.”

Korn dropped the official visualizer for “You’ll Never Find Me” on June 26, 2019, giving fans the first real listen to material off their upcoming 13th studio album. The track, produced by Chris Schoenman with creative direction from TNSN_DVSN, arrives as the lead single ahead of a September release, and it comes loaded with a songwriting credit that raised eyebrows across the nu-metal world.

  • “You’ll Never Find Me” is the lead single for Korn’s 13th studio album, “The Nothing,” due September 13, 2019, via Roadrunner/Elektra Records.
  • Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan helped Jonathan Davis build the song’s vocal melodies over acoustic guitar chord progressions, working alongside producer Nick Raskulinecz.
  • The visualizer was produced by Chris Schoenman with creative direction from TNSN_DVSN, and premiered on YouTube on June 26, 2019.

A Corgan Co-Write Inside the Korn Camp

Nick Raskulinecz, who has manned the boards for Korn before, produced the track, but the real story is who showed up in the writing room. Billy Corgan sat down with Jonathan Davis and worked out the song’s vocal melodies over acoustic guitar chords, a collaboration that pairs Davis’s scat-and-scream delivery with a songwriting sensibility from outside the nu-metal lane entirely. It’s the kind of pairing that doesn’t get announced with much fanfare in metal circles, but the credit is right there on the record.

The Lyrics Behind the Title

Davis doesn’t dress up the subject matter. “Life is degrading and silently making me spin out inside my own head,” he sings, and the song rides that spiral all the way to a chanted, unfiltered outro: “I’m not doing fine.” There’s no metaphorical distance here — it’s the same raw, confessional style that’s defined Davis’s writing since Korn’s earliest records, just aimed at a new set of wounds.

“I’m not doing fine.”

The World of “The Nothing”

Davis has framed the album’s concept as something bigger than a single bad stretch. In statements tied to the song’s premiere, he described “The Nothing” as an extraordinary force — bliss and torment, dark and light, pulling at the soul from opposite directions. That tug-of-war is exactly what “You’ll Never Find Me” plays out in under four minutes, and it sets the tone for what the full record is built around.

For fans tracking the band’s rollout, the visualizer functions as a first data point rather than a full statement — no music video, no tour dates attached yet, just the song and the artwork. If Korn’s history is any guide, that’s usually how it goes before a September release: single first, then the machine builds from there.
