Korn The Devil Went Down to Georgia" by the country group Charlie Daniels Band. The rendition is even more surprising with the participation of rapper Yelawolf.

“I’ve always said this, but country music is some of the darkest,” said lead singer Jonathan Davis when announcing the cover. “'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' is a classic story and we really wanted to share it now to help others.”

The cover was released to raise funds for the Awakening Youth Foundation , the organization that Brian “Head” Welch cited in his documentary Loud Krazy Love . The foundation helps men and women experiencing grief by offering individual support.

Charlie [ Daniels ] left a musical legacy that transcends any genre barrier and we wanted to honor his talent and influence with our own reinterpretation of his music (…) Thank you to our friend Yelawolf for participating in this with us.” The song is only available on Bandcamp and all proceeds will be donated to the organization.
