NBC announces Monday the metal band Korn will make their first appearance on the network's Saturday Night Live show in December.

Korn is expected to perform new material from their upcoming release, "See You on the Other Side"

"See You on the Other Side" is Korn's first album since the departure of guitarist Brian "Head" Welch earlier this year. Welch left the band when he became a born again Christian and has since started work on his own material.

Korn will join the Masters Of Horror tour, featuring Mudvayne, Sevendust, 10 Years, and Bobaflex on December 16 in Miami, Florida. The band will launch a nationwide tour in spring 2006.
