Kanye West all "star" in "Spike In My Veins," the provocative new video from KORN that's based on the second single from their Top 10 album THE PARADIGM SHIFT (Released October 8 on Prospect Park) . Government corruption, NSA spying tactics, political scandals, the cult of celebrity and more-the video's assaultive imagery underlines and comments on how the media projects chaos into our lives. "We are the ones taking all the pain/Falling on our faces, they don't care anyway," KORN frontman Jonathan Davis announces in the opening lines of "Spike In My Veins," currently Top 10 and rising on the rock chart.
