It’s been a minute since the world got new Korn tunes, but that’s all changed thanks to a nearly three-year-old video game. Earlier this morning, the influential nu metal band released “Reward The Scars”, a new track dropped to promote the Lord Of Hatred expansion pack for Blizzard’s action RPG Diablo IV.
With the expansion due out next Tuesday, the track’s release marks the first time that Korn’s put out something new since the release of their 2022 album Requiem. According to the band, the song is directly inspired by Diablo IV, which sees players teaming up with friends to tackle Hell’s hordes and take down the titular Lord Of Hatred.
The track was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, engineered by Matt Hyde and James Harley, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, and mastered by Ted Jensen. Naturally, it appears on the soundtrack for the aforementioned expansion. All of this is going on at an advantageous point for Korn, who’s set to perform at this weekend’s Sick New World in Las Vegas.
