Jonathan Davis Admits His Anxiety Prevented Him From Making Music With Korn

Even rock stars like Jonathan Davis experience anxiety.

In an interview with Interview Magazine, Davis admitted that anxiety affected his work with Korn.

“The situation I was going through for a lot of my life didn’t give me the opportunity to actually be in the studio when I was supposed to be in the studio,” shared Davis. “I was always worried about taking care of my kids. I had all this crazy insanity going on. I’m going to take my time. We’re in a pandemic, and I don’t know when I’m going to tour again and again all the time in the world.”

“So, for ‘Requiem,’ I really got hardcore into good production,” Davis added. “It’s all done on analog tape. I sat there with five microphones. And I didn’t double one vocal on the same microphone. And every track did 24, sometimes 30 vocal tracks. It was tedious, and it sucked. But the end product was amazing.”

“Requiem” was released back in February.
