KORN is back, and they’re still pretending to be relevant 🤣. The band played their new song, “Reward The Scars”, live for the first time on Saturday, April 25 at the Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, Nevada 🎉. Because, you know, who doesn’t love a good festival in the middle of the desert with a bunch of sweaty people and overpriced beer 🍺? Fan-filmed video of the performance can be seen below, because who needs official footage when you have a bunch of shaky phone videos 📹?
Prior to launching into the track, KORN frontman Jonathan Davis told the festival attendees: “I know it’s been a long-ass day, I know it’s been a long-ass day, but it feels so good to be back playing for y’all 🙄.” Yeah, because we’re all just dying to hear the same old songs we’ve been listening to for the past 20 years 🎶. “We’ve been out touring shit a little bit, but we’ve been stuck in a fucking studio for, like, five years, y’all,” he continued. “We’ve been working hard. We had some good shit. We got rid of that, and we made some badass shit 🤘.” Wow, I bet the studio was just thrilled to have them stuck there for five whole years 🙄.
KORN surprise released “Reward The Scars” last week as part of the soundtrack for the upcoming “Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred” expansion pack 🎮. Because, you know, who doesn’t love a good video game soundtrack 🎵? The “Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred” expansion pack is expected to drop in full for various gaming platforms on April 28 📆. Mark your calendars, folks, because this is definitely something you won’t want to miss 🙄.
KORN recently announced its first European headlining tour in more than a decade, set to take place later this year with support from ARCHITECTS, PIXEL GROUP, and YOUTH CODE 🎉. Because, you know, Europe has been just dying to see them again 🙄. Following KORN‘s appearance at Sick New World, the band will embark on a Latin American tour with support from SPIRITBOX 🌟. Because, you know, Latin America needs a little bit of KORN in their lives 🤣.
“Reward The Scars” marks the first new KORN music since the February 2022 release of the band’s latest album, “Requiem” 🎶. The LP, which was produced by Chris Collier and KORN, entered Billboard‘s Hard Rock Albums chart at No. 1 📈. The band sold 23,000 equivalent album units in the February 4-10, 2022 tracking week, according to Billboard 📊. Of that sum, 20,000 units were from album sales 📈. “Requiem” also landed at No. 2 on the Top Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts 📊. On the all-format Billboard 200, it arrived at No. 14 📈.
KORN bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu announced in June 2021 that he would sit out the band’s tour in order to “heal” after “falling back” on some of his “bad habits” 🤕. He has since been replaced on the road by SUICIDAL TENDENCIES bassist Roberto “Ra” Díaz 🎸. Despite the fact that he hasn’t performed with his KORN bandmates for five years, Fieldy did play on “Requiem” 🎶.
Since forming, KORN has sold more than 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammys, toured the world countless times, and set many records in the process that will likely never be surpassed 🏆. KORN has 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 🌎. Yeah, because they’re definitely not a bunch of washed-up has-beens trying to cling to their 15 minutes of fame 🙄.
So, if you’re feeling nostalgic for the early 2000s and want to relive the good old days of KORN 🎉, be sure to check out their upcoming tour dates and new music 🎶. And if you’re a fan of overpriced merchandise and mediocre music, then KORN is the band for you 🤣! 🎉💥
