KORN "Logo" /Patch/

The first full-length album by the legendary American Post-Grunge/Nu-Metal band.
One of the best-selling Nu-Metal bands on the planet!
With little publicity, radio play, or MTV exposure, Korn took their eponymous 1994 debut to Platinum status! Like all unexpected successes, it's easier to understand its popularity in retrospect. Although they disdain the "Metal" label, there's no question that Korn are among the vanguard of Post-Grunge/Alt-Metal outfits. Borrowing from Jane's Addiction, Rage Against the Machine, Pantera, Helmet, Faith No More, Anthrax, Public Enemy, and N.W.A, Korn developed a testosterone-fueled, ultra-aggressive Metal-Rap hybrid. They're relentless, both in their musical attack and in lead singer Jonathan Davis' bleak, violent lyrics. Tales of abuse and alienation run rampant throughout the record. It's often disturbing and, to some ears, even offensive, but their music can have a cathartic effect that makes up for their vulgarity and questionable lapses in taste. It's a powerful sound and one that actually builds on the Funk-Metal innovations of the late '80s/early '90s!
"Shoots And Ladders" was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance!!

The seventh full-length album by the legendary American Nu Metal band.
This album is best known for the involvement of renowned production team 'The Matrix', best known for coproduction on works by Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears, and Shakira, who managed to give Korn's sound more mainstream acceptability.
Korn first talked reinvention with 2003's "Take A Look In The Mirror". Self-produced, it was a muscular, effectively brief record that nodded in some intriguing new directions. After that they talked celebration - 2004's greatest-hits Set looked back on a decade of influence and intensity. And yet, it's 2005's "See You On The Other Side" that's Korn's real reinvention celebration. It's their first album as a quartet after getting left behind by born-again guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. It's also their first venture for new label Virgin.
But really "See You On The Other Side" is Korn's acknowledgement that their life isn't all that bad, and it's time to party. It's a heavy record that swings, an album that takes Korn's Rap-Metal template toward the red-light swagger of the Dirty South's Rap revolution. Is it really surprising that Lil Jon plays Jonathan Davis in the video for "Twisted Transistor"? That song's one of eight on "See You On The Other Side" produced and co-written by the Matrix, and it shows. It's Korn all the way, cocky and Funky. But its slick too, concerned more with the shock value of Groove than trying to be some poor kid's slap bass confidant, his surrogate therapy session. And it works. It's cool to hear the Matrix getting down with Korn; they keep each other honest, balancing the sheen with the sleaze. Davis, Munky, Fieldy, and David Silveria still bring it, but in a way that's aware of the manufacturing. And that's key, since after ten-plus years, their act was getting a little tired. Why not embrace the cash, embrace the slinkier side of Fieldy's vertical rhythms? The target of "Politics" is obvious, and "Hypocrites" rails against organized religion. But beneath the polemic is the Korn sound stripped, made truly economized and catchy. Diehards are going to gnash their teeth, and clog the message boards with dismissive comments. But isn't it about time for them to move on, too? "See You On The Other Side" is a little too processed at times - "Love Song" says "Motherf*cker!" just to know it's alive. But then there's "Open Up", running a NIN influence through weird processing, and "Getting Off", which wavers and lurches like Korn chopped and screwed.
If Rap-Metal were ever meant to evolve, "See You On The Other Side" is the record that does it!
"See You On The Other Side" sold more than 220,000 copies in its first week, debuting and peaking at number three on the Billboard 200. The album managed to stay in the top half of the chart for thirty-four consecutive weeks. It has accumulated 1,451,458 copies sold in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album was first certified Gold in the US on January 12, 2006; a subsequent Platinum record certification was awarded on March 16, 2006. It was ranked second in Ultimate Guitar Archive's Top 10 albums of 2005 poll.

The fifth full-length album by the legendary American Nu Metal band.
After a three-year break that included solo projects and soundtrack work, Korn's re-emergence in the summer of 2002 was met with great anticipation. They delivered an album that shows them building on their previous sound and emphasizing its strengths.
The use of melody is more important than ever, allowing Jonathan Davis to utilize his wide palette of vocal tricks. His charismatic voice can now move from a clear-throated wail to a Death Metal growl with ease, lending the album a manic side that brings to mind "King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime"-era Faith No More.
The band is far more experimental this time out, delivering Helmet-like ringing guitars that melt and morph into each other, a mix of Metallica-esque blastbeats and tight Funk drumming from the constantly improving David Silveria, and memorable riffs that take the shape of dark sound structures and offer more than just a collection of chords. In fact, it is the last point where the album sets itself apart from most Nu-Metal offerings; Korn understand that the overall sound of Hip-Hop works because of the sonic stew that producers create through samples. The band does the same with instruments, cutting the chugging riffs of the past and replacing them with edgy soundscapes that are equally as menacing. There isn't even a Rapped verse here, save for Davis' rhythmic scatting at moments, further distancing the band from the scene it helped create. But by cutting away some of the fat and finding new ways to deliver their trademark roar, Korn manage to offer a strong and lean album that maintains their place as innovators in a genre with few leaders!
The album featured the Grammy-winning single "Here to Stay". It's debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 434,000 copies sold during its first week, and was certified Platinum on July 11, 2002. The album has sold over 4,000,000 copies in the US as of January 4, 2013 and over 5 million copies worldwide!!
