Korn's pulverising tunes feel like genre-smashing experiments, creating riotous explosions of sound with every chugging riff and incisive beat. The California band's most angst-ridden rampages—led by Jonathan Davis' gritty growl—are deliciously dynamic. Check out the grunge-flavoured, dynamic hurricane of “Make Me Bad” or the smash crossover hit “Freak on a Leash”, with its sinewy guitar howl that morphs into blasts of overdrive. There aren't many bands who have bridged the gap between rap's aggressive rhythms and alt-metal's wrath in such an iconic way.
