Korn

Korn's entire new album is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.

The band's eighth studio LP, which has been left untitled, comes out on July 31. The first single is called "Evolution".

According to Launch Radio Networks, simulated virtual reality images of the members of Korn, known as avatars, are performing their new single "Evolution" which began on Monday, July 23, at VirtualKorn.mtv.com. Fans are also be able to listen to a preview stream of the band's entire new album, while singer Jonathan Davis, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer and bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu chat live with fans at the site from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET.

Meanwhile, the video for "Evolution" also premiered recently on MTV2. Korn recently launched a spoof web site at EvolutionDevolution.com to promote the upcoming release of the clip. The site appears to be publicizing a new documentary with appearances by "experts" who look suspiciously like the members of the band. Jonathan Davis explained how it all came about. "We just wanted to do something different and, like, kind of a viral promotion of the album, so we came up with the whole 'evolution/devolution' thing," he said. "We shot these clips and we thought it would be funny if we were in it, and I was 'J.D. Cornelius,' Munk was 'Thelonius Monk,' Fieldy was 'Dr. Fields' or something... it's just funny. It's really cool. It's a spoof on the whole thing and I think it's great."

The band kicked off the latest edition of the Family Values tour on Friday (July 20) in St. Louis, with more than a dozen bands on two separate stages, including Evanescence, HellYeah, Flyleaf, Atreyu, Trivium and others.
