Korn, a pioneering force in the nu metal genre, emerged from Bakersfield, California, in the early 1990s. Founded by frontman Jonathan Davis, guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch, bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and drummer David Silveria, the group has been acclaimed for their aggressive sound, downtuned guitars, and visceral exploration of themes like alienation and trauma. Bursting onto the scene with their self-titled debut in 1994, Korn's innovative sound was a seismic shift in the rock landscape, leading to the group often credited for initiating the nu metal movement.

Throughout their long-standing career, Korn has continuously evolved, both musically and personally, whilst maintaining a loyal fan base. Their discography is a testament to the band's ability to branch out into different sounds while still keeping the raw emotion and energy that first catapulted them to fame. Albums like "The Nothing" and "The Serenity of Suffering" see the band delve deeper into their dark and introspective lyrical themes, accompanied by their signature heavy yet melodic style. Korn's continued relevance in the rock scene is marked by their willingness to experiment, exemplified by tracks like "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" and acoustic versions of their songs such as "Can You Hear Me," showcasing their versatility and endurance as icons of their genre. With the release of "Requiem," Korn has entered yet another chapter in their storied career, proving their staying power and relentless creative spirit.
