Everything about KoRn: biography, style & influences

Bannière KoRn

Alternative Metal

KoЯn is a cornerstone of alternative metal and one of the pioneers of the nu metal movement. Formed in 1993 in Bakersfield, California, the band shook the rock scene with their self-titled debut album in 1994, driven by raw energy, heavy riffs and Jonathan Davis’ tortured vocals.

With landmark albums such as Follow the Leader, Issues and Untouchables, KoЯn influenced entire generations through a sound that is dark, introspective and powerful. The band has continuously evolved while staying true to its roots, blending groove metal, hip-hop elements and industrial atmospheres.

As a key figure in nu metal, KoЯn shares this approach with bands like Slipknot, Deftones and Linkin Park, each contributing to reshaping modern metal.

On MusikMachine, fans can discover a wide range of KoЯn products: stickers, badges, t-shirts and embroidered patches — all available within our metal collection, perfect for a true nu metal look 🤘.
