Former Korn star Brian 'Head' Welch is set to return to the limelight with a new solo album after taking a religious sabbatical from the music industry.

The guitarist stunned the rock world when he walked away from Korn in 2005, explaining he needed to care for his daughter, Jennea, as a single father and commit to his faith after becoming a born-again Christian.

But Welsh returned to the recording studio last year and his debut solo record, "Save Me From Myself," will be released in September on Driven Music Group - the label he co-founded. The album features David Bowie and Peter Gabriel's long-serving session musician Tony Levin and A Perfect Circle star Josh Freese.

Welch says, "I'm really excited about getting my music out there to my fans. I literally poured everything I had into Save Me From Myself, and I know it's gonna inspire a lot of people. It's been a long time since I've connected with people musically, and now that the wounds have healed from my past addictions, I'm ready to feel the magic again."
