About the album

Korn invented a whole corner of heavy music in the 1990s, and three decades on they are still capable of sounding raw and unsettling. The Nothing, their thirteenth album, was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who has worked with Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains and Mastodon, and it is one of their most emotionally direct records. Jonathan Davis wrote much of it in the wake of personal loss, and the grief runs through everything, from the bagpipe-led opener to the closing track. He has rarely sounded so exposed, and the band rise to meet him at every turn.

"You'll Never Find Me" and "Cold" were the singles, both heavy, groove-driven and built around the down-tuned guitars of Munky and Head. "The Darkness Is Revealing," "Can You Hear Me" and "Finally Free" show the band at their most melodic, while "H@rd3r" and "Idiosyncrasy" bring the bounce that made them famous. It is a hard listen in places, but an honest one, and many fans rank it with their best. This reissue makes it easy to fill that gap on the shelf.
