The Paradigm Shift is the eleventh studio album by American nu metal band Korn. The album was produced by Don Gilmore and will be released in the United States on October 8, 2013. It will mark the first Korn album to feature original guitarist Brian "Head" Welch since 2003's Take a Look in the Mirror. It will also be their first on Caroline Records. Following the year after the release of The Path of Totality, Korn had begun proposing ideas for their next album. James "Munky" Shaffer stated that the album would contain darker elements similar to Issues (1999) mixed with the heaviness of Untouchables (2002).On May 2, 2013, it was revealed that original guitarist Brian "Head" Welch rejoined the band after an eight-year absence and had been recording for the new album. The first single, "Never Never", was officially released on August 12, 2013.The track Love & Meth leaked on September 6, 2013 after the band had released a few previews. The track "Lullaby for a Sadist" was originally written in 2010 prior to the idea of a dubstep-infused album. "Spike in My Veins" was originally written and recorded with Noisia for inclusion on J Devil's debut album, but ended up being reworked as a Korn song.[ A preview for it was released on KoRn's official YouTube channel on September 19, 2013 along with a preview for the song "Prey for Me".
