Description:

KORN changed the world with the release of their self-titled debut album. It was a record that would pioneer a genre, while the bands enduring success points to a larger cultural moment. The FADER notes, There was an unexpected opening in the pop landscape and KORN articulated a generational coming-of-angst for a claustrophobic, self-surveilled consciousness. KORN became the soundtrack for a generations arrival as a snarling, thrashing, systemically-restrained freak show. Since forming, KORN has sold 40 million albums worldwide, collected two GRAMMYS, toured the world countless times, and set many records in the process that will likely never be surpassed. Vocalist Jonathan Davis, guitarists James Munky Shaffer and Brian Head Welch, bassist Reginald Fieldy Arvizu, and drummer Ray Luzier, have continued to push the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres, while remaining a pillar of influence for legions of fans and generations of artists around the globe. The level of KORNs reach transcends accolades and platinum certifications. They are a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now, attests The Ringer. They represent a new archetype and radical innovation, their ability to transcend genre makes barriers seem irrelevant. \”The members of Korn are each among the best in the world at their instruments, and more than that, their shows are so captivating be- cause theyre not just about anger for angers saketheyre about catharsis. – GQ Requiem is not only excellent in its own right, but in capturing Jonathan at a transitional point in his life… Breaking new ground 30 years into their career\” – KERRANG!
