KXM with KORN, KING'S X, Ex-DOKKEN Members: In The Studio For Third Album

04 January 2018

KXM, the band featuring bassist/vocalist Doug "dUg" Pinnick (KING'S X), guitarist George Lynch (LYNCH MOB, DOKKEN) and drummer Ray Luzier (KORN), is currently recording its third album with producer/engineer Chris Collier — who also helmed the group's first two releases — at Steakhouse Studio in North Hollywood, California. The album will be released by Rat Pak Records later this year.

KXM — which derives its name from a combination of its members' other projects (K from KORN, X from KING'S X and M from LYNCH MOB) — issued its self-titled debut in 2014. The 13-track follow-up, 'Scatterbrain', was released on March 17, 2017.

Lynch told Guitar World magazine that all KXM albums are put together "entirely in the studio. The whole concept of KXM is that we create everything on the spot," he said. "No preconceived ideas are allowed. Ray is pretty much the songwriting police about that. He can almost sense when you're bringing in something you sort of already had in your back pocket. He'll disallow that and he'll force you to move on by changing it all up. He'll change the beat on you. [Laughs] So our product is improvisation."
