Speaking to Hammer ahead of the show, guitarist Brian 'Head' Welch explained that the band's delayed entrance into the world of live-streaming was a result of Korn wanting to ensure each event was unique, enthusing that "[the set] has got LED massive screens everywhere and is on top of a building, giving it this really unique vibe. Considering what you can do with drones these days, we got incredibly excited like, 'now that’s how you do a livestream!'"

So far, Korn have released the two singles Start The Healing and Forgotten from the new album.

Recently, the group additionally announced that they will be hosting a special An Evening With… live in-person Q&A and discussion at London's 900-capacity Union Chapel on June 13.
