American nu metal band Korn have sold 40 million records worldwide, embarked on multiple global tours, and helped to bring nu metal into the mainstream. Originally formed in 1993, the band released a self-titled debut album the following year. Although Korn was considered a trailblazing project in its genre, it was their sophomore album, Life Is Peachy, that gave the band their mainstream breakthrough. Since then, the band have gone on to release a total of 14 studio albums, with Requiem arriving in February 2022. They have also won two Grammy Awards, and continue to receive praise for their inventive visuals and music video concepts. In 2023, the band announced that they were working on new music, hinting at a possible 2024 release date for their next album.
