Korn‘s Jonathan Davis is launching a new luxury pet collection with designer Ashton Michael, under the musician’s Freak On A Leash pet line.

Back in 2022, Davis launched his pet brand Freak On A Leash – named after the Korn track of the same name – and now he is back with a new collection for the line.

The collection, which is made in collaboration with designer Ashton Michael – who has worked with Doja Cat, Post Malone, Megan Thee Stallion and more – was released today (April 22). A portion of the proceeds will support Pup Culture Rescue, a nonprofit dog rescue based in Pasadena, California.

It consists of spiked collars, moto-inspired bandanas, leather harness vests, leashes, and toys. It blends punk aesthetics to nods to Davis’ personal style, including bandanas and leather.

“The joy and love I get from my dog is like no other,” Davis said. “It’s a special bond we have. To be able to make something to dress them up kind of like your own style… and then giving back to dogs who don’t have homes, it’s just something that makes me feel something warm in my dark little heart.”

When he first announced the news of his pet line on Instagram, Davis said that the products were created as an “homage to the horror and rock music we love.”

In other Korn-related news, the band is one of the headliners of Download Festival 2025. The music bash will return to its home of Donington Park, Leicestershire, for its 22nd year and take place from June 13-15.
