Korn Drops New Song “Reward the Scars”
After four years, Korn has made a major comeback with their new track “Reward the Scars,” which will be featured in the upcoming video game Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred. This heart-pounding anthem marks the band’s first new release since their last studio album, “Requiem,” in 2022. Produced by Korn and Chris Collier, “Requiem” topped charts globally, reaching No. 1 in various countries and peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 chart.
Korn’s career has been marked by significant achievements, including selling over 40 million records worldwide and winning two GRAMMY® Awards. Last year, they played an exclusive show at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, alongside System of a Down. With over three decades in the industry, Korn has built a vast catalog of hits, allowing them the flexibility to choose any song to perform. Despite this, at the show, they opened with their iconic 1994 track “Blind.”
Their setlist included favorites like “Got the Life,” “Did My Time,” “Twisted Transistor,” “Somebody Someone,” and more. Notably, they revisited “Here to Stay” and put a unique spin on “Shoots and Ladders,” intertwining it with Metallica’s “One.” The performance culminated with their 1998 mainstream hit, “Freak on a Leash.”
In 2024, Korn celebrated the 30th anniversary of their debut album, followed by the 20-year milestone of their album “See You On the Other Side” in 2025. These accomplishments highlight Korn’s enduring presence in the music industry.
Moreover, Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Iron Maiden have announced that they will not be attending their induction ceremony. However, they will be part of the 2026 inductee lineup, alongside Oasis, Billy Idol, and others.

Furthermore, iconic rocker Alice Cooper wowed audiences by covering Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” at the Coopstock charity event. The Strokes have also announced their 2026 world tour, adding to the list of highly anticipated musical events in the coming year.
In conclusion, the music industry continues to thrive with exciting releases, tours, and collaborations from renowned artists like Korn, Avenged Sevenfold, and Alice Cooper.
