KORN prove that they are true masters of their art, and even though this is album fourteen, they haven’t run out of steam yet. This album is sure to delight fans both old and new.

Against the odds, Korn have done it again with Requiem, a quick and ferocious blast that finds the band still hungry and innovative nearly 30 years into the game.

‘Requiem’ has brought something new to a discography that, until now, has been an exploration of human suffering. It’s led to the band’s most nuanced record to date.

Korn are anew, and ‘Requiem’ sees them fearless, embracing what made them famous to begin with.

Overall, Requiem is another return to excellent form for Korn. Its nine tracks flow with crisp focus, and every song is in that sweet spot of around four minutes.

There’s certainly a lesson to other bands about getting in, getting everything off your chest and getting out on Requiem. Less is very much more in this instance.

This is likely Korn’s most consistent offering since Untouchables, which turns 20 this year, not just because of its quality but because it feels like a tight collection.

Nine great songs, 33 deliciously morbid minutes: "Requiem" is further proof of KORN's extraordinary resilience and unerring vitality.

For fans of nu metal and heavy riffs, Requiem will not disappoint, but it lacks the sadness that Korn have long tapped into to differentiate themselves from the pack.

A solid, engaging late-period Korn album that doesn’t add an awful lot to their legacy, but certainly doesn’t disgrace it.

Constantly charging their craft to its lightning-striking best, the epic howls and growls we all know and love are older and wiser, but no less cathartic or powerful.

"Let the Dark Do the Rest" is the nu-metal lifers' poppiest rocker in years. But when Jonathan Davis sings "I know this all sounds so cliché," on "Lost in the Grandeur," he's pretty much right.

If I were to epitomise KoRn with a single word, that word would be incessant.
KoRn is a band whose influence is something that the vast majority of metal fans choose to be blissfully ignorant of, which is a disservice. After all, it’s thanks to KoRn’s debut self titled in album in 1994 that the infamous subgenre of Nu Metal blossomed with it’s rancid, cardinal petals, shredding through the metal scene with it’s brutal and bastinade rhythms, bludgeoning drum work, and ... read more
KOЯN | CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Ahh, Korn. One of the most wild, bold and inconsistent bands to come from the metal scene. They could even almost be compared to Weezer sort of (I do find Korn to be more tight with their discography). Let’s face it, there’s always ups and downs for this bands and always a neat little tale for each record. 1994’s Korn was the product of young outsiders who wanted or maybe needed to get out their pain. 1996’s Life Is Peachy was, while insanely ... read more

You guys are still doing this, huh?
You know, it’s okay if you want to do something else. Plenty of artists start doing a certain sound, grow out of it or exhaust every idea they possibly have, and then move onto something else. It’s perfectly fine, encouraged even. You know you don’t have keep making a xerox of a xerox of every other album you’ve done but worse, right? You can do something else.
Everything post Path Of Totality kinda sounds the same, and it's not bad, but it's a little stale

Man the older I get, revisiting a lot of these songs JD is a reallyyyyyyy mediocre lyricist and hasn’t really gotten better. they’ve got their moments that are pretty enticing lyrically (I’d say the untitled album is a huge step up in that department), but being in your mid to late 50’s and writing such generic, predictable, fill in the blanks lyrics is crazy

u guys better lock tf in next album, no more bullshit like this; the nothing was really good but the last 3 albums all sound the same production/writing wise and yall gotta step it up again and make an album that at least has a distinct sound again
