With the release of their albums ‘Korn’ 1994), ‘Life is Peachy’ (1996),‘Follow the Leader’ (1998) and ‘Issues’ (1999) they brought forward a sound that was angry, heavy, disturbed and yet highly addictive and groove-able. All albums spawning monster-mind-jarring-hazard-elevating-anthems like ‘Blind’, ‘Clown’, ‘A.D.I.D.A.S.’, ‘Got the...
