Request A ShowKorn's music has been featured on merchandise, including T-shirts, alongside other bands like Metallica and Nirvana, often without direct brand partnerships but through demand for band-themed apparel.
Korn frontman Jonathan Davis launched a new capsule collection for his pet accessory brand, Freak On A Leash, inspired by horror and heavy metal. The brand also partnered with promoter Danny Wimmer Presents and Take Me Home Rescue for an exclusive product line look for fans.
In 2001, the brand PONY reappeared in the clothing industry and initiated a partnership with Korn.
Korn partnered with Blizzard and 72andSunny for 'Reward the Scars,' a track featured on the soundtrack for the 'Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred' expansion pack, marking the band's first song release in four years (2026).
adidas Originals and KoRn collaborated for a new collection featuring designs inspired by the band's seminal 1996 release. This partnership began with a shared vision to reflect the rebellious spirit of the band and its impact, releasing two sneakers (Campus 00s and Supermodified) and seven apparel pieces. The collaboration was decades in the making, as Adidas had previously declined a formal contract while Korn wore their products, leading to a Puma deal in 1998.
Live Nation and EMI struck an exclusive deal with Korn, where they partnered and shared in the results of the band's overall career, including two studio albums, tours, merchandising, licensing, and ticket sales. This arrangement saw Virgin Records (an EMI imprint) pay Korn $25 million upfront.
To mark the 20th anniversary of their album 'Follow the Leader,' Korn partnered with the clothing company Pleasures to release clothing merchandise dedicated to the album.
Korn wrote and recorded an original song, 'Haze,' inspired by Ubisoft's 'Haze' video game, released in April 2008.
Korn, an American nu metal band, was formed in Bakersfield, California, in 1993. The initial lineup included James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, and David Silveria, who had previously been members of the band L.A.P.D. Jonathan Davis joined as lead vocalist, and Brian “Head” Welch completed the quintet. The band released their debut demo tape, “Neidermayer’s Mind,” in 1993, and their self-titled debut album in 1994 through Immortal Records. This album laid the groundwork for the nu metal genre, blending aggressive sound with introspective and often dark lyrical themes covering childhood trauma, abuse, and addiction. The album slowly gained traction, eventually achieving gold status and establishing a dedicated fanbase through extensive touring with significant acts like Ozzy Osbourne.
Korn’s commercial breakthrough arrived with their second album, “Life Is Peachy,” in 1996, which climbed to number three on the pop album charts despite minimal mainstream radio and television support. This success was followed by “Follow the Leader” in 1998, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and contained hit singles “Got the Life” and “Freak on a Leash.” The band sustained its chart dominance with “Issues” (1999) and continued to release successful albums like “Untouchables” (2002) and “Take a Look in the Mirror” (2003). After Brian “Head” Welch’s departure in 2005, the band continued to evolve, and David Silveria took a hiatus in 2006, leading to Ray Luzier joining as the permanent drummer. Their later works, including “The Path of Totality” (2011), experimented with electronic elements like dubstep, showcasing their willingness to adapt their sound. Welch rejoined in 2013, solidifying a near-original lineup for “The Paradigm Shift” (2013).
Throughout their career, Korn consistently achieved commercial success and critical acclaim. Twelve of their official releases have reached the top ten of the Billboard 200, with eight peaking in the top five. The band has been awarded two Grammy Awards out of eight nominations and two MTV Video Music Awards from eleven nominations. Their music videos, particularly for “Got the Life” and “Freak on a Leash,” were influential and frequently aired on MTV’s “Total Request Live.” As of 2021, Korn has sold over 40 million records worldwide, with multiple certifications including gold, platinum, and multi-platinum. Their raw, honest approach to music and their distinctive sound have left a lasting impact on heavy music, influencing numerous bands and shaping the landscape of modern metal.
