Description
Korn changed the world with the release of their selftitled debut album. It was a record that would pioneer a genre, while the bandrsquos enduring success points to a larger cultural moment. The FADER notes, ldquoThere was an unexpected opening in the pop landscape and KORN articulated a generational comingofangst for a claustrophobic, selfsurveilled consciousness. Korn became the soundtrack for a generationrsquos arrival as a snarling, thrashing, systemicallyrestrained freak show.rdquonbsp Vocalist Jonathan Davis, guitarists James ldquoMunkyrdquo Shaffer and Brian ldquoHeadrdquo Welch, bassist Reginald ldquoFieldyrdquo Arvizu, and drummer Ray Luzier, have continued to push the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres, while remaining a pillar of influence for legions of fans and generations of artists around the globe. The level of Kornrsquos reach transcends accolades and platinum certifications. They are ldquoa genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now,rdquo attests The Ringer. They represent a new archetype and radical innovation, their ability to transcend genre makes barriers seem irrelevant.
