176: KORN LIFE IS PEACHY Album Dive

“YURRNOTUHRRRROTATONTATROTATATANBUMBUMBLAKAEAUHHTAHHHEAUBLAHUUURRRRAHHHH!”

After blowing everyone’s mind with their revolutionary, self-titled debut, KORN returned with their follow up album, LIFE IS PEACHY, which took the Bakersfield, California Nu Metal pioneers to new levels of unmatched sonic aggression including deeply disturbing lyrics fueled by pure existential fury and primal rage. No band, before or since, has EVER sounded anything like KORN, and no band EVER will.

It's time to fire up the CD player in your Yugo and “break down the fourth wall” because we’re diving into the darkness where heaviness and fuzziness converge. Find out why staying in shape is important for aging metalheads, prepare to get soaked with some “seriously wet humor” and JOIN US as we ring in the New Year and “Twist” our way through KORN’s devastatingly heavy 2nd album: LIFE IS PEACHY.
