Korn

Korn (stylized as KoЯn) is an American multi-platinum nu metal band from Bakersfield, California. The band was founded in 1993. In Joel McIver's book, the band is described as a pioneer of nu metal. Korn laid the foundations for a sound that combines grunge, hardcore punk, and groove metal, to which funk and hip hop are often added. After more than 3 million copies of their debut self-titled album, released in 1994, were sold worldwide, Korn became one of the best-selling heavy bands of the last decade. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the total number of the band's albums sold is over 50 million copies worldwide, including about 25 million copies of the disc within the United States according to the RIAA. The band has been nominated for a Grammy eight times and has won twice.
