What does ‘Pulling away this veil I see…’ mean?!

Korn are teasing a new single; hear a snippet now
Words:
Emily Carter

Ahead of the release of Korn's upcoming album Requiem on February 4, the band have shared a snippet of a brand-new single.

Posting a cryptic animated graphic on their socials of six hands each squeezing a face, the Bakersfield titans have linked out to their website – kornofficial.com – which hosts the words 'Pulling away this veil I see…' If you then click on that phrase (which is likely a lyric from the track) on the site, you can get an instantly MP4 download, entitled Now, consisting of 30 seconds of drums.

And it seems as though there is even more to come, with only one of those weird hand/face things being lit up right now. Presumably the glowing one represents the drums, so we might get five other snippets coming, too? Hmmm…

Speaking to Kerrang! in November about Requiem and the great place Korn are at right now, frontman Jonathan Davis enthused: "We’ve been together 27 fucking years but I still get excited to see them. We’re still like those 24-year-old kids making that first record, we still get that excited. Working together is like doing drugs for us now – we’re continuously chasing that first high."
