Nov 28, 2011

Korn, a rock band originally from Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993. The band line up consists of four members: Jonathan Davis, James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and Ray Luzier.
The band released their first demo album, Neidermeyer's Mind, in 1993. Their debut album, Korn was released in 1994, where they featured the same musicians that had performed on Neidermeyer's Mind. The band began recording Life Is Peachy in April 1996, and released it on October 15, 1996. Follow the Leader is recognized as Korn's mainstream breakthrough, peaking at number one on the Billboard 200 in 1998, along with the following album, Issues in 1999. The band released Untouchables on June 11, 2002, and later released Take a Look in the Mirror on November 21, 2003. Their first compilation album, Greatest Hits Vol. 1, was released on October 5, 2004. See You on the Other Side was released on December 6, 2005, and Korn's untitled album was released nearly two years later on July 31, 2007. Korn III: Remember Who You Are, the band's ninth studio album, was released July 13, 2010 via Roadrunner Records.
Korn has sold 16.5 million albums in the US and over 30 million worldwide. Ten of the band's official releases have peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200, eight of which have peaked in the top five. Eight of those releases are certified Platinum or Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, and one is certified Gold. They currently have 39 singles, 27 of which have charted. Korn have earned two Grammy Awards out of seven nominations, for "Freak on a Leash" and "Here to Stay".
Their latest creation, The Path Of Totality, due out December 6 on Roadrunner Records, is an experimental album which finds Korn shifting gears and exploring new territory with some of the most important emerging producers on the electronic music scene today. For The Path Of Totality and its corresponding "P.O.T." ballroom tour this November, the band will change course again by collaborating with the likes of leading U.S., U.K. and Dutch dubstep trailblazers Skrillex, Feed Me, Excision, Datsik, Noisia, Kill the Noise and 12th Planet on record as well as on stage.
The band's first offering from the album "Get Up!" with Skrillex was the surprise Top 10 rock hit of the summer, the buzz of which started in April in Coachella's Sahara tent when Jonathan and Munky joined Skrillex on stage for a show-stealing unannounced performance of the song. Now Korn has unleashed their latest single "Narcissistic Cannibal," another creation with Skrillex and Kill the Noise which is available now.
