Korn will not be using any BP Oil to fuel their buses on their current US tour.
The band is protesting BP's environmental disastrous oil spill by refusing to fuel any of their vehicles with the damaging product."The daily images are hard to watch," says Korn front man Jonathan Davis. "We need to do our part to let BP know there are consequences for causing something like this. We want to send a message to corporations like BP so that they will take more preventative measures in the future. The more costly their punishment, the more money they will spend to make sure disasters like this don't happen again. It's plain and simple capitalism."
Ironically, the cover for the new Korn album features a landscape of oil rigs near their hometown of Bakersfield, California.
The first single from the album is coincidentally called 'Oilsdale'.
Davis is calling for other acts to boycott BP. "We urge the other acts on Mayhem and anyone on tour this year to be with us on this," he said.
The new Korn album 'Korn III – Remember Who You Are' will be released in July.
