IN THE STUDIO
ALIEN ANT FARM -- whose 2001 debut, ANThology skyrocketed on the strength of their taut take on ''Smooth Criminal'' -- in L.A. with producers the DeLeo brothers (Stone Temple Pilots). The alt-metal act's newest is tentatively set for Aug. 19.
KORN, in the City of Angels, unleashing their freakishness in the form of a follow-up to last year's Untouchables.
HANSON, in their hometown of Tulsa, finishing up their long-delayed third album with producer Danny Kortchmar (James Taylor, Neil Young). They're also shopping for a new label now that they've split with Island Def Jam.
