“**💭 Thoughts:** *Requiem* is the fourteenth studio album from nu-metal pioneers Korn, released in 2022, and further proves that even over 30 years into their career, the band hasn’t lost their step—even if they are going for a “lighter” approach. It seems as if the return of guitarist Brian “Head” Welch marked the beginning of the band’s second streak of consistently great albums, starting with *The Paradigm Shift*. Phenomenal album with no majors flaws or true skips.
