Korn writes original song for Ubisoft's Haze, says game is 'the s**t' photo

In a move that will either make you throw up a rock fist or cancel your pre-order, Ubisoft has announced that Korn will be providing an original track for the upcoming PlayStation 3 first-person shooter, Haze

The song, entitled "Haze," was written specifically for the game, and will be launched as a radio single this November to coincide with the game's launch. Korn's singer, Jonathan Davis, is more than a little please. 

"Gaming for me is a religion," he says, "and Haze is the s**t!"

And for the record, that Photoshop up there was Ubisoft's doing, not ours.

To paraphrase the brilliant Stephen Colbert, "I feel like I'm dreaming! Someone pinch me! No wait, that might not wake me up, better yet, someone just shoot me in the face."

Also, Papa Roach records hard-rocking track with Kid Rock for Gears of War 2!

This is almost as bad as that Adema music video for Mortal Kombat.

Hopefully the game's better than "Fieldy's" solo career.

My excitement for Haze was at about a 0 before this post, it's at a -2 now.

I liked Korn's first couple of albums. Maybe the first 3?

Of course, I was 12.

both just try too hard.

DEATH TO FALSE METAL!

I don't see how this should have any effect on the game. Woo. A band I don't care for has a track on a game that looks cool. I've played lots of games that have songs I don't like...And announcers I hate (Burnout 3).
This doesn't effect the game itself at all. I'm still looking forward to it.

have you guys ever tried to explain to a French girl that "The shit is good" and that to be "shit" is bad? It's really fun.

Ubi screwed up the photoshop job big time. It looks like they forgot to delete the space to the left of the MANTEL Soldier.

there are plenty of games i play with super shitty soundtracks so adding this korn thing isn't a big deal. I'll still try the game and hope its good.

@Orcist: Right there with ya, buddy. “Falling Away From Me” and “Freak On A Leash” were cool in our teenage angst days, but now we can see that “music” for what it really was: utter crap. I hope this doesn’t become the in-game music of choice...remember how Godsmack ruined Price of Persia: Warrior Within?

To be honest my favorite part of Doom 3 was the menu music created by Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. (Probably spelled his name wrong)

Nothing can be worse than the Breaking Benjamin song in Halo 2. You know that part towards the end and you come into a giant room where the covenant are battling the Brutes and the "hard rock" riffs come from nowhere? That shit was ghey. Korn sucks ass but not as much as that particular moment in gaming history.
