Korn (sometimes typeset as "KoЯn" to fit their official logo) is a Grammy Award winning, influential nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, and are often credited with creating and popularizing the nu metal genre. Former band-member Head stated that their signature sound came from an attempt to emulate Mr. Bungle's guitar tone, which they referred to as "the Bungle chord". Along with other bands of the time, they have also inspired many nu metal, alternative metal and rap metal bands through the mid-1990s and early 2000s. Since their 1994 self-titled debut album, Korn has sold over 30 million records worldwide, including 18 million in the United States, making them one of the best-selling metal acts of the last fifteen years. The band's catalogue consists of five consecutive Multi-Platinum Studio albums (including the compilation album Greatest Hits, Volume 1, a live album, and an MTV Unplugged album) in the top 10 of Billboard Top 200 best selling albums. To date Korn has scored 6 Grammy nominations, and won 2 such awards. Jonathan Davis has entered Hit Parader's "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Vocalists" list peaking at #16 , James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch are #26 at the list of Guitar World's "100 Greatest Metal Guitarists".

As of 2006, Korn have had an ever-changing lineup. There have been quite a few touring members who left over time. Original guitarist Head left for "spiritual" reasons in early 2005, and original drummer David Silveria is on a hiatus from the band.

    Korn in the news

    Brian “Head” Welch, former guitarist for the band “Korn” has written a book about his life and how he found Christ, quit the band, kicked the drug habit, etc.

    Organisers of Helflest in France are threatening to sue KoRn over their last minute cancelation

    Let me let these sluts in on a little secret…Nickelback, Hinder, Limp Bizkit, Korn and Creed are about the least likely of all types of music to give me an extra large vieny boner and in turn empty my pockets of all Washington’s to store between your jelly and the elastic strap holding the whole production together.
