Korn bassist Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu, who hasn’t performed with the band since 2021, has appeared in a new Instagram post alongside Sepultura drummer Greyson Nekrutman and former Fear Factory bassist/guitarist Christian Olde Wolbers, sparking speculation about a new musical collaboration. The photo was shared on Greyson Nekrutman’s Instagram.
The post generated discussion among fans, with one commenting about Fieldy’s potential return to Korn.
When a fan asked if Fieldy would return to Korn, Christian Olde Wolbers responded with insight into the bassist’s current situation. The fan said, “Did Reggie tell ya if he is gonna get back to Korn?”
“He’s having more fun with us,” Olde Wolbers said in response to the fan’s question about whether Fieldy would rejoin Korn.
The comment suggests that Fieldy may be more interested in pursuing this new musical venture rather than returning to his longtime band. No official announcement about a new group has been made by any of the musicians involved.
This potential collaboration brings together musicians from different eras and styles of heavy music. Each musician has significant experience in the metal scene.
Drummer World reported that Greyson Nekrutman is a young American drummer known for his versatile background in jazz and progressive rock. He joined Sepultura only recently in February 2024. He stepped in for Eloy Casagrande on their farewell “Celebrating Life Through Death” tour, bringing his dynamic style and experience with bands like Suicidal Tendencies to the legendary Brazilian metal group.
Christian Olde Wolbers brings extensive experience from his time with Fear Factory, where he served as bassist and later guitarist. Wikipedia noted that Wolbers was a key member of Fear Factory during some of their most successful albums in the late 1990s and 2000s. He contributed to their signature industrial metal sound that influenced countless bands in the genre.
Meanwhile, Fieldy’s absence from Korn has been notable since 2021, when he stepped back from touring to focus on personal matters. Sepultura’s official website indicated that the timing of this potential new project coincides with significant changes in the metal scene. Established bands continue to evolve, and new collaborations emerge.
This new collaboration could mark an intriguing blend of styles, given Fieldy’s distinctive funk-influenced metal bass alongside Nekrutman’s complex rhythmic skills and Olde Wolbers’ industrial metal roots. The combination represents decades of collective experience across some of metal’s most influential bands.
