Koᴙn Live: The Encounter is a live release by American metal band, Koᴙn in 2010 to promote the studio album Koᴙn III: Remember Who You Are. It premiered on Sunday July 11, 2010 on HDNet, and then streamed on the band's Myspace profile. Although a live performance piece, the concert itself has no audience beyond production crew.
In July a number of viral videos were released by the band, the first two videos included amateur footage of crop circles and unidentified flying objects, while the second two videos included news footage of the phenomenons identifying its location as Kern County. The Koᴙn logo could also be seen in one of the crop circles. On July 7 the band announced "Koᴙn Live: The Encounter, A Concert for Koᴙn III: Remember Who You Are" a live concert filmed June 24 at the crop circles. The concert would be premiered via HDNet on July 11, and the day after via MySpace. The unusual setting for the concert was inspired by Pink Floyd's Live at Pompeii concert, the 80-minute concert included several new songs from the upcoming album, as well as older songs and fan favorites. Davis noted that "the setting and the mood took us into a totally new direction musically. We took the opportunity to stretch out and experiment with the performance" while Shaffer described it as "a new frontier musically for Koᴙn". "Need To" and "Coming Undone" were cut from the final broadcast. Clips of the performance from "Let the Guilt Go" were used in the music video for said song.
The DVD version was officially released on December 6, 2011 as a bonus disc with the special edition of KoRn's tenth studio release, The Path Of Totality. It will include the full concert; unlike the broadcast which cut songs "Need To" and "Coming Undone", and will feature band interviews about the concert and their new album.
