\"I just need a break for right now\", says Silveria in his statement. The group\'s new album is tentatively scheduled for a June 2007 release.

Korn recently performed an acoustic set on December 9th at the MTV studios in New York City for an MTV \"Unplugged\" special. The show is expected to air sometime in February 2007, with the show slated to be released on cd around the same time.

Korn\'s \"Unplugged\" performance will be the band\'s second televised acoustic stint, following one on ABC\'s \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" back in
July. The group\'s first acoustic gig ever was recorded for AOL Sessions earlier in 2006r. Singer Jonathan Davis, a pretty good sticksman too by the way, told Launch that the band hardly prepared for the event:

\"We literally showed up two hours before we were supposed to tape,. We\'d never even tried to go acoustic before, and that\'s what came out. Honest to God. Everybody\'s all, \'You\'re lying, you guys practiced.\' Nothing. We literally walked in, messed around, played the songs a couple of times, and it is what it is. And we had no idea what was gonna happen. We got in there and it just came out great.\"
