Not sure anyone's heard of him. He's a former KoRn guitarist who became a Christian, left the band, and just recently released a new album called "Save Me From Myself," including a single called "Flush," which is all about drugs and how they destroy your life.
Its great to see someone come from a lifestyle like his, all drugs and alcohol, and begin to spread a message about how drugs are not the solution, in a music genre that people like that typically gravitate towards.
About the music video for the song "Flush"
The video for 'Flush' is about crystal meth addiction and the crazy things anyone addicted to meth will do while they're high or to get their fix. Everything the models were doing in the video is what I was wrapped up in while I was addicted to meth. The video is a very realistic look at the addiction and where it will lead you if you get hooked. I understand the images of the models may be too much for some people, but honestly, I was just trying to be real with what happened in my life and show where I was, as well as where I am at now. I was totally imprisoned by meth ([represented in the video by Welch contained by a] straight jacket). I would do anything to get my meth ([represented by the] models being obsessed with a pink substance). I was totally kinky and freaky while I was on meth (represented by the models touching each other and licking pink substance off of each other). I got emotionally, spiritually and physically sick while I was on meth ([represented by the] models puking up black tar all over their faces and everywhere else). I believe I would be dead right now if I continued using meth, but instead, I chose to surrender my life to Christ and die to myself so He could share His resurrection with me ([represented by the] models lying down lifeless, getting zipped up in body bags, coming back to life and ripping through the body bags to catch their new breath of life). Significantly, the images also go along with what the kids (not actors) at the beginning of the video were honestly saying about their addictions.
You may want to check out the mvid, if you can handle heavy metal and a graphic mvid (I watched it once, and that's it).
