Biography
Korn is an American band from Bakersfield, California, widely credited with pioneering the nu metal genre. Formed in 1993, the band's innovative sound fused heavy metal with elements of hip-hop, funk, and industrial music, creating a dark, aggressive, and emotionally raw style. Their self-titled 1994 debut album, "Korn", is considered a landmark release that established the new wave of metal. The band achieved massive mainstream success with their third album, "Follow the Leader", which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and brought nu metal to a global audience. Characterized by down-tuned seven-string guitars, funk-inspired bass lines, and Jonathan Davis's deeply personal and cathartic lyrics, Korn's music has left a lasting impact on the rock and metal scenes, influencing countless artists.
