Fan-filmed video footage of KORN frontman Jonathan Davis's October 26 solo concert at Brewster Street Ice House in Corpus Christi, Texas can be seen below. Davis is touring in support of his recently released "Black Labyrinth" solo album. He said about the disc: "This time, I'm pulling something out of the audience. I've bared my soul for so fucking long I thought it'd be really cool to pull listeners in a different direction for once. I'm taking them out of that dark place and into somewhere that's spiritual, positive, and makes them really think. It's just art.

The lead single from the album — "What It Is" — peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart earlier this year and has garnered 3.1 million streams on Spotify and 6.6 million views on YouTube.

"It's really good to finish something which I started so long ago. It's something I'm really proud of. I've been very patient with it. It's been sat on my laptop for many years, so it feels really good to be able to finally release it, to talk about it and play it live. "There are two tracks on the album, 'Walk On By' and the bonus track, which were written in 2010 and recorded in January this year. But most of them were done years ago. I've re-done some of the vocals and updated a few bits."
