Dark nu metal with raw emotion and innovation

Korn is an American band that is considered a pioneer of nu metal and has had a significant influence on the rock and metal scene since the 1990s. With their unique sound, which combines heavy guitars with hip-hop elements and dark atmospheres, they created a completely new genre.

Musically, Korn are characterised by lower-pitched guitars, complex rhythms and an intense, often disturbing soundscape. The voice of frontman Jonathan Davis ranges from soulful passages to aggressive outbursts and conveys themes such as inner conflicts, pain and social isolation. Songs like Freak on a Leash, Blind or Coming Undone are exemplary of her style.

Korn are known live for their brute energy and dense atmosphere. Their concerts are loud, emotional and intense - characterised by strong contrasts between heaviness and vulnerability. With their influence on generations of bands and their unmistakable sound, Korn are among the most important representatives of modern metal.
