Korn Biography
Korn's cathartic alternative metal sound positioned the group
among the most popular and provocative to emerge during the post-grunge
era. Korn began their existence as the Bakersfield, CA-based metal band
LAPD, which included guitarists James Munky Shaffer and Brian Head
Welch, bassist Reginald Fieldy Snuts Arvizu, and drummer David
Silveria. After issuing an LP, the members of LAPD in 1993 crossed
paths with Jonathan Davis, a mortuary science student moonlighting as
the lead vocalist for the local group Sexart. They soon asked Davis to
join the band, and upon his arrival the quintet rechristened itself
Korn.
After signing to Epic's Immortal imprint, they issued their debut album
in late 1994; thanks to a relentless tour schedule that included stints
opening for Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and 311, the
record slowly but steadily rose the charts, eventually going gold. Its
1996 follow-up, Life Is Peachy, was a more immediate smash, reaching
the number three spot on the pop album charts. The following summer,
they headlined Lollapalooza, but were forced to drop off the tour when
Shaffer was diagnosed with viral meningitis. While recording their
best-selling 1998 LP Follow the Leader, Korn made national headlines
when a student in Zeeland, MI, was suspended for wearing a T-shirt
emblazoned with the group's logo (the school's principal later declared
their music indecent, vulgar, and obscene, prompting the band to
issue a cease-and-desist order). Their annual Family Values tour also
started in 1998, featuring a lineup that consisted of Korn
collaborators such as Limp Bizkit and Ice Cube and likeminded artists
such as Rammstein. The tour was an enormous success, so much so that it
continued on with Korn overseeing the lineup for years after.
Issues followed in 1999, and in typical Korn fashion they debuted their
new single in an episode of South Park. The band toured behind the
album into the next year, but their efforts were cut short by an injury
that took out drummer David Silveria. They hired former Faith No More
drummer Mike Bordin to help them finish the remaining shows, and took a
short rest before joining a summer tour with Metallica, Kid Rock,
Powerman 5000, and System of a Down. (Silveria later returned amid
rumors of leaving the band for a fashion career, but these stemmed from
some modeling work he had done before his injury.) In the meantime,
Fieldy released a gangsta rap album and Davis scored the film Queen of
the Damned, but at the end of 2001 the band reunited as a unit and
entered the studio. A few shows with Static-X helped iron the wrinkles
out of the new material, and by the next summer they had Untouchables
ready for release. Korn did a run of Ozzfest dates in support, and the
album was another smash hit. The self-produced Take a Look in the
Mirror arrived in 2003. Billed by the band as a reconsideration of
their sound, the album was accompanied by a tour of smaller venues
called Back to Basics.
In 2005, Welch left the band, evidently due to his newfound Christian
faith. But Korn continued, playing shows that summer as a quartet and
signing an expansive recording and development deal with Virgin. The
following December they released See You on the Other Side, a number
three hit that featured a batch of songs co-written with hitmaking
production team the Matrix. Live & Rare, an aptly titled disc of
live recordings and rarities, was released in May 2006 with the live
acoustic recording MTV Unplugged following in March 2007. ~ Jason
