The ‘Diablo IV’ soundtrack contribution is the band’s first new track in four years
Korn are back in a big way with their new song “Reward the Scars.” The heart-pounding anthem is the band’s first new piece of material in four years, and will be featured on the soundtrack for the upcoming video game Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. Stream the official audio below now.
Korn’s last studio album was 2022’s Requiem. Produced by the band alongside Chris Collier, the record hit No. 1 in several countries around the globe. It peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200, and No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Hard Rock Albums chart and the UK’s Rock & Metal Albums chart. Throughout their career, Korn have sold over 40 million records worldwide and collected two GRAMMY® Awards.
Last summer, Korn played an exclusive show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey alongside System of a Down. At this point – 31-years in as frontman Jonathan Davis acknowledged during the set – Korn can pretty much play whatever they want. Typically bands save the best for last, but with a catalog as stacked as Korn’s, it’s kind of a toss-up nowadays. They chose to come out swinging, opening with their 1994 signature “Blind.”
Other highlights from the set included “Got the Life,” “Did My Time,” “Twisted Transistor,” “Somebody Someone,” “Falling Away from Me,” and more. Early on, they broke out “Here to Stay,” which was especially poignant after celebrating the recent 30th anniversary of their firs record. They also put a spin on “Shoots and Ladders,” adding in a mash-up of Metallica’s “One” which turned out fantastic.
They wrapped things up with their 1998 mainstream breakout, “Freak on a Leash.”
