The band that ushered in the nu-metal shift in the 1990s has consistently toured to support their albums, despite losing drummer David Silveria and Brian Head Welch. Both left for personal reasons, Head in early 2005 and Silveria in 2007.After blending hard rock and dubstep for 2011s Path of Totality, it was announced this February that Head had returned and would join the band in producing their album and on tour through the summer. During a string of shows through the month of May, the band played a lot of songs from their earlier albums. Vocalist Jonathan Davis is known to let his emotions show as he performs, and coupled with the reunion of guitarists Head and James Munky Shaffer, the band has found a synergy it hasnt had in years. Reginald Fieldy Arvizu has a fingerpicking and slap-style on the bass, and Ray Luzier is a conductor on the drums. Having Head return has really brought the band forward, giving it a piece that its been missing in recent years. Korn is currently in Europe, with U.S. dates listed on its website for late summer.
