This Alternative-Metal group was formed in Bakersfield, California USA, in 1992 by lead singer Jonathan Davis, guitarists James 'Munky' Shaffer and Brian 'Head' Welch, bassist Reginald 'Fieldy' Arvizu and drummer David Silveria.

Two years later, Korn released its self-titled debut album; although it received very little support from critics, cracked The Billboard Top 200 chart reaching a respectable #72, but their wildly dynamic heavy-Rock was ready to explode.
In October 1996, the band released their second album, "Life Is Peachy"; the record peaked at #3 on The Billboard Top 200 and broke the top 40 in the U.K. Albums charts while the band toured across Europe with Limp Bizkit and Helmet.

By the fall of 1999, the quintet released "Issues", another strong commercial LP which shot to #1 in U.S. Albums chart, the record included two Modern Rock top 10 hit singles: "Falling Away From Me" and "Make Me Bad".
Korn, after two-year break, rumors of crisis and solo projects, reconvened to record a new album; "Untouchables" was released in mid-2002 and hit the top 3 of the North-American Albums charts, the first single, "Here To Stay", peaked at #4 spots, the highest chart-position that the band ever reached, on both Billboard's Rock charts, the track also won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance, the second single cut, "Thoughtless", reached the #6 on The Mainstream Rock list; an international tour with Puddle Of Mudd and TRUSTcompany ensued, by this point "Untouchables" became a huge hit in Europe, cracking the top 5 on the National U.K. Albums chart.
The next year saw the release of the band's sixth album: "Take A Look In The Mirror", it rose straight to the top 10 of The Billboard 200 chart and generated four Active Rock smash singles including the #11 "Right Now", "Did My Time", "Ya'll Want A Single" and "Everything I've Known".
