Korn
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit a foundational nu metal album where a singer’s life of hurt and trauma gets weaponized by his band’s trailblazing sound.”
Requiem
“nu-metal veterans’ ‘happy’ album is still dark as fuck”
The Nothing
“On ‘The Loss’, the penultimate track from Korn’s new album, ‘The Nothing’, frontman Jonathan Davis sings, “happiness is a club I’ll never be in.” It’s a stifling, hopeless image, one with little light at the end of the tunnel, and a lyric that sums up not only this album, but the band’s 26-year career in general. All metal bands deal with bleak topics – drugs, abandonment and suicide – but few of ”
The Path of Totality (Special Edition)
“**💭 Thoughts:** After seemingly regaining a hold of their signature sound on their previous record, *Korn III: Remember Who You Are*, Korn pulls a 180° and, for whatever reason, adopt a metal-dubstep fusion (later known as metalstep), collaborating with major artists from the genre like Skrillex, Excision, Datsik. I don’t see myself listening to this that often, however, I will admit there are a few bangers on here. That being said, every track either hits or misses, with very little middle ground. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Chaos Lives In Everything 🔵 2.) Kill Mercy Within 🟡 3.) My Wall 🟡 4.)

Korn III: Remember Who You Are
“**💭 Thoughts:** Ironically, as the title states, it seems as if Korn remembers who they are on their 2010 studio album, *Korn III: Remember Who You Are*. What makes Korn so special is their ability to combine pain-filled vocals with crushing guitar riffs and gruelling bass lines—a quality they mostly seemed to lose on their previous record, *Untitled*. Even without guitarist Brian “Head” Welch and drummer David Silveria (replaced by Ray Luzier), the nu-metal pioneers still managed to make a good album, easily topping their previous two. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.)

The Serenity of Suffering
“**💭 Thoughts:** The nu-metal titans revisit the heaviness of their earlier sound for their twelfth album, *The Serenity of Suffering*. This is a flawless record, and I believe it to be one of their best since *Issues*. It maintains elements of their newer sound while recapturing the heaviness that made earlier projects, like their self-titled album, so special. Easily one of the best in their catalogue, and I’d even argue it rivals some of their legendary earlier projects. I really tried to find a flaw with this album, but I couldn’t. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) Insane 🔵🥇 2.) Rotting In Vain 🔵🥉 3.) Black Is The Soul 🔵 4.) The Hating 🔵 5.) A Different World 🔵🥈 6.)
