Roaring back after the grief and bloodletting of 2019's The Nothing, metal veterans Korn add yet another highlight to their late-era renaissance with their 14th set, Requiem. The i ntense, focused assault is as simple and no-frills as can be, a slim nine tracks of introspection, growth, and, shockingly, a faint sense of optimism. Recorded during the COVID-19 lockdown, the band found themselves with no deadlines, no label pressure, and plenty of time to simply record as a full unit (even though founding bassist Fieldy was on hiatus for personal reasons, his basslines are still here). With that space, they tapped into something that's a rarity on a Korn album: setting sights on hope and healing. Let's be clear, though, Jonathan Davis and company haven't delivered a happy pop album. Rather, they're trying to see the light and keep the darkness at bay, taking a self-aware approach to a batch of songs that crushes just as heavily as anything Korn have done in the past Forgotten3:17 Let The Dark Do The Rest 3:40 Start The Healing 3:28 Lost In The Grandeur 3:50 Disconnect 3:27 Hopeless And Beaten 3:59 Penance To Sorrow 3:21 My Confession 3:35 Worst Is On Its Way 4:04 Show more
