KORN

Korn is an American nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, formed in 1993 by James "Munky" Shaffer, Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and David Silveria, who were members of the band L.A.P.D. The band's current lineup includes Shaffer (guitar), Brian "Head" Welch (guitar), Jonathan Davis (vocals), and Ray Luzier (drums), who replaced Silveria in 2007. Korn produced a demo tape titled Neidermayer's Mind in 1993, which was distributed to record companies and the public. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1994, followed by the album Life Is Peachy in 1996. The band achieved mainstream success with Follow the Leader in 1998 and Issues in 1999, both debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Their subsequent albums include Untouchables (2002), Take a Look in the Mirror (2003), and See You on the Other Side (2005). In 2004, they released Greatest Hits Vol. 1, a compilation album that marked the end of their recording contracts with Immortal Records and Epic Records.
