The tour saw its final Leg on Decemas part of the Shiprocked Cruise.
Korn were gaining popularity and in 1997 they headlined at Lollapalooza festival with the famous Tool.
Life Is Peachy was as good as the first album and pretty soon it was certified double Platinum. Korn kept on creating music in the same style however songs Porno Creep and Swallow had quite strong funk influence. The band’s second studio work Life Is Peachy was released in 1996. Three years after the release of Korn the composition Shoots and Ladders was nominated for Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Thereby Korn managed to attract a lot of attention in no time. Later that style was named nu metal and the band’s debut record, in its turn, was titled the very first nu metal album. Korn presented absolutely revolutionary sound, including elements of metal, grunge and hip-hop. The band’s debut long play titled Korn was released in 1994.

The difference of arrangement - heavy on skittish drums and electro walls of assault - has the curious effect of making Korn seem not adventurous but rather mature: the content of Jonathan Davis’ rants matter less than his tone, and the producers have folded his vocals, along with Munky’s buzzing guitar, into a web that feels like Korn even if it doesn’t strictly sound like any other Korn album, not even the industrial-funk of See You on the Other Side. Korn’s cast of collaborators - notably the Grammy-nominated Skrillex, but also Noisia, Excision, Feed Me, and 12th Planet - does not redefine the band’s character but rather reinterpret it, retaining the same tempos, the same creeping minor-key melodies and riffs, the same sense of enveloping angst that have been present since their 1994 debut. Korn always emphasized texture over riffs, so shifting from a gray guitar grind toward claustrophobic electronic collage doesn’t induce shock, apart from the shock that the album actually works.
Unexpected this move may be, but not unnatural.
Korn remembered who they were just in time to forget it all again on The Path of Totality, an unexpected left turn into dubstep and all manner of dark electronica from the kings of nu metal. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
