The band Korn is one of the founders of nu-metal, the mix of metal and hip-hop that emerges in the late nineties and produces immensely popular bands such as Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and Linkin Park. On the album Issues (1999) it was already clear that Korn would rather leave the rapping to the followers. The group around singer Jonathan Davis themselves focused on perfecting her dark band sound that
… is unmatched by anyone. This trend is continued on The Untouchables. The hip-hop influences have almost disappeared and Korn sounds more than ever like a true metal band. The band still distinguishes itself from the competition by processing the aggression of metal in emotional, epic songs. The Untouchables will be released in a limited edition with an exclusive remix, a bonus video and a link to the band's website, giving the fan access to extra material. (MS)more
