I completely forget this band exists. Getting nostalgia hearing the name because I was so obsessive over the nu metal craze 2 decades ago as teenager.

Same. Nu-Metal is what it is, and I can't really go back to any of it EXCEPT these guys. Korn is my musical comfort food. For better or worse, they changed the game.
Although, I thought the last album was some of their best stuff since Take A Look In The Mirror. They seemed rejuvenated.
I haven't noticed anything from Korn in what feels like 20 years.
I'm almost tempted to dip my toe back in.

Been listening to their older albums again not long ago, they hold up surprisingly well. Not all their newer material is good, mind, but I feel like they still have a place in the musical scene, as they still have a recognizable style and mood even despite taking plenty of clues from the standard nu metal stuff.
And as controversial as that album was, their project with the likes of Skrillex, Feed Me, Noisia and so on was straight fire tbh.

Their last album was great, quality wise it was almost at Issues levels which in my opinion is still their best album to date.. looking forward to the new album, even though this new song isn't as strong as were the first two singles from last album (Rotting in Vain, Insane)

They usually average a 3 year cycle. I think the exception was that awkward period after Untitled; took them four years between touring and finding a new band member to get going, then they did The Path Of Totality as a gimmick, then they rushed back into the studio after Head got recruited back.
I have to say the old Skrillex style is so outdated sounding. I don't think that song holds up at all.
He has progressed so much as a producer.
I agree that he evolved a lot, and indeed most of the 2010-2012 dubstep doesn't hold up from a production standpoint, but in an odd way those early mainstream US sounds somehow mix oddly well with nu metal, considering that's also largely outdated and nostalgic.
I think it's pretty apparent that Head is the single person in this band who creates the classic Korn sound. They have been making awesome music since he returned.
Mika Huckabee is hat guy from the praise band who you catch playing Entombed and Slayer in-between songs. lol
Not a hot look, Brian.
Jonathan Davis has been spouting right wing bullshit for years.
Heh. On a pretty major metal nostalgia drive at the minute so this is weirdly timed for me. I'll check it out for sure.
New song is alright. I quite liked their previous album so I hope I like the other tracks on this album more than this one.
Eh, nothing really impressive or memorable. Chorus gave me Alice in Chains vibe which is funny since they are going to tour with them. Just not a fan of the tacked on electronic sampling they've been doing since the dupstep shit. It's felt forced ever since. The last album was great including the first 2 singles. We'll see.
I'm not sure the Illuminati conspiracy theory is right wing rhetoric. It's just dumb rhetoric.
I mean, here's Jon wishing Ron Paul was president and expressing his admiration for his failure of a son, Rand (while in the same breath bemoaning that all the presidents are related) and him going on Infowars to say how Obama's turned the country into a police state.
Their last album was really, really good. This is sounding okay. Not blown away but it's listenable.
New Korn album, new Slipknot album, all we need is a new Limp Bizkit album and the 90's metal comeback is complete.
Just released tonight and it's freaking great! Listened twice so far and loving damned near every track if not every one. A short start and end track aren't songs so much as an intro/outro. Other than that it's all fantastic.
