Korn is an American nu-metal band formed in 1993 in Bakersfield, California. They are considered pioneers of the nu-metal genre, blending heavy guitar riffs, hip-hop influences, and raw, emotional lyrics. Their self-titled debut album (1994) introduced their signature sound, featuring tracks like “Blind.”
They gained mainstream success with albums like Follow the Leader (1998) and Issues (1999), producing hits such as “Freak on a Leash” and “Falling Away from Me.” Fronted by Jonathan Davis, with his unique vocal style, and backed by heavy, downtuned guitars, Korn has remained one of the most influential bands in metal.
With multiple Grammy Awards and over 40 million records sold, they continue to evolve while staying true to their dark, intense sound.
