Korn are an American nu-metal band from Bakersfield, California, active since 1993. Their self-titled debut (1994) and Follow the Leader (1998) helped define the nu-metal genre and reshape alternative metal in the 1990s. Over three decades the band has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide and won two Grammy Awards, cementing their place as one of the most influential acts in heavy music. The current lineup is Jonathan Davis (vocals), James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch (guitars), Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (bass), and Ray Luzier (drums).
Korn released the single "Reward the Scars" - their first new song in four years, recorded for the Diablo IV expansion called Lord of Hatred.
Korn announced a 19-date European tour in autumn 2026 - for the first time in over a decade, it includes Great Britain, Ireland, and Central Europe, including Prague (November 16).
The publisher Tempo Music announced a limited vinyl edition of the album See You on the Other Side for its 20th anniversary.
Guitarist Munky revealed that the band is recording a new album analogously on tape - all members play simultaneously in one room.
