Korn is the mainstay of the ill-fated nu-metal movement. Nu-metal or not, I love Korn’s music. I really dig Johnathon Davis’ vocal style. Like lots of Korn’s previous releases, this is another dark walk into the mind of Johnathon – a deeply disturbed mind at best but scarily brilliant.
The Serenity of Suffering is no different here opening up with Insane and Korn’s signature sound smashes forth. Their detuned guitars are heavy as fuck as usual but there is a melody and the song flows as heads snap back and forth from headbanging. This is what I found myself doing subconsciously.

I can’t really find any flaws in this album. Maybe because I do like Korn a lot but it’s an album I can listen to many times from start to finish. I can relate to much of the subject matter, which probably says a lot about me at this time.
John’s freak out vocals are typically crazy and just suit the band so perfectly – on this album they are just as off tap as the first time I heard them. There are no real guitar solos. A lot of the guitar squeals and weird shit these guys pull off but Korn have filled the soundscape so fully it doesn’t detract from the enjoyability of the songs at all.
The whole band are as tight and performing a top-level. It isn’t the fastest album from the boys but is lots of moments to jump the fuck and want to destroy shit. One of the stands out songs for me is A Different World featuring Corey Taylor. This is a crazy song and another trip into the mind of John’s which is another dark moment, Corey adds the harsh vocal elements without overpowering the song.
As soon as I heard this album I knew straight away it would be an addition that just wouldn’t be making up the collection but be an album of constant rotation in my listening arsenal.
