Korn

Korn is an influential nu-metal band from Bakersfield, California. They are often credited with instigating the nu-metal genre and inspiring the wave of alternative metal bands in the mid 1990s and early 2000s, assisting, in particular, the careers of Limp Bizkit and Deftones.

The first incarnation of KoRn was a band known as LAPD. At first LAPD stood for 'Love and Peace Dude'; however they later changed the name to 'Laughing as People Die' in order to be taken more seriously as a band. The group consisted of James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, David Silveria and lead singer Richard Morales, who later left the band, and the remaining members changed their name to Creep, adding guitarist Brian Welch. After adding singer Jonathan Davis in 1993, they began styling their name as 'KoRn' (with a backwards letter "R"), releasing their debut album, Korn, through Epic/Immortal Records in October, 1994. KoRn is arguably the album most responsible for the rise of nu metal and influencing later nu metal bands such as Limp Bizkit, Deftones, Static-X and Adema.

The band followed up their debut album with their second album, Life Is Peachy, in October, 1996. The album was just as successful, reaching No.3 on The Billboard 200. It spawned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance in the song "No Place to Hide." The album's release featured the first live internet broadcast by the band. Korn performed songs from the new album and took calls from internet fans watching at home. The event was hosted by longtime Korn friend, Adam Corolla, known best for his hosting of Loveline. The online performance was one of the first of its kind and helped launch Korn's internet presence which soon became a predominant part of their marketing and availability to fans.

On 6 December 2005, Korn released their 7th full-length studio album titled See You On The Other Side, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200 charts. The album was a step in a new direction for Korn since parting ways with former guitarist, Brian "Head" Welch. The album also featured production from pop producers The Matrix and Atticus Ross. See You On The Other Side is the closest Korn has ever released to a concept album. The special edition features a bonus disc with three additional original tracks, as well as bonus artwork. The first single from See You On The Other Side was "Twisted Transistor," which featured a Spinal Tap-esque style documentary video where 4 of today's biggest rappers played the parts of Korn. Lil Jon played Jonathan Davis, Xzibit played Fieldy, David Banner played David Silveria and Snoop Dogg played Munky. The idea for the video came from the mind of singer Jonathan Davis who thought of it while in the Caribbean. Plans to turn the video into a full-length movie are in the works. "Twisted Transistor" was also the official theme song for WWE's Taboo Tuesday event in November 2005.

Korn is now on a world tour with 10 Years and Mudvayne, which got underway in February 2006 and will run well into 2007. On 13 January 2006, Korn met Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose at their tour launch party. The Australia part of the tour will consist of Korn , 10 Years, Hatebreed, and Disturbed. Korn invited Pastor Phil of the Set Free organization to come with them on their tour.

Style and influences of Korn

Davis' distinctive singing — often a series of grunts, whines and bizarre scats (somewhat reminiscent of those used by Mike Patton) — and his lyrics, are inspired in part by the child abuse he suffered as a young boy by an unnamed party. Although the alleged abuser has never been explicitly identified, it is speculated, based upon statements by Davis in various interviews, that it was a family friend or neighbor. Davis has also stated that much of his inspiration is drawn from things such as his parents' denial of his abuse, which is showcased in the song "Daddy." Contrary to popular belief, the song has nothing to do with Davis' father abusing him. Another inspiration comes from Davis' time spent working at a morgue. "Dead Bodies Everywhere" from 1998's Follow The Leader discusses both his issues with his parents and some of the atrocities Davis reported seeing during his time in the morgue. Likewise, "Pretty," also off of Follow The Leader, was inspired by a particular crime scene Davis observed while working as a coroner's assistant in which a little girl had been raped and murdered. Davis has commented that the crime and the crime scene gave him nightmares for quite some time.

The group's music is a blend of pounding, tribal drums and loud, distorted seven-string guitars (an instrument the band is attributed to pioneer among heavy metal musicians), and has gained the band popularity throughout the years. The band is also notable for their collaborations with hip hop artists such as Ice Cube, Nas and Xzibit (in fact some Korn songs feature rapped counterparts), as well as for re-introducing the bagpipe into mainstream rock music, little heard since the days of AC/DC's late frontman Bon Scott. The band's song structure may be due to the band's pop sensibility. Davis grew up as an avid fan of the new romantic and new wave scene, where the pop song formula is used quite often.

It is often hard to place the band into specific genres, but most likely the best fitting genre for Korn would be alternative metal, mainly because of their harder edge but also with modern rap influences.

Korn has cited bands such as Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ministry, N.W.A., Metallica, Primus and Weezer as key influences.

Nu metal (also called aggro metal or nü-metal, using the traditional heavy metal umlaut) is a musical genre that has origins in the mid 1990s. It typically fuses influences from the grunge and alternative metal of the early 1990s with hip-hop, electronic music, thrash metal and death metal amongst other metal genres. The popularity and perceived vast commercialization of such music in the late 1990s and early 2000s led to widespread negative associations with the term nu metal, which in turn led to many fans and artists rejecting it.
