The Profile

American nu metal band formed in Bakersfield, California (1993). Widely credited as pioneers of nu metal; led by vocalist Jonathan Davis and known for autobiographical lyrics and heavy, groove-oriented sound.

Formed in 1993 in Bakersfield. Founding/longtime members include Jonathan Davis (vocals), James "Munky" Shaffer (guitar), Brian "Head" Welch (guitar, left and later rejoined at times), Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu (bass); David Silveria was original drummer; Ray Luzier joined as drummer later. Recognized as influential pioneers of nu metal.

DeBaser reviews show strong admiration for Korn's 1990s albums (Korn, Life Is Peachy, Follow the Leader, Issues) and a more critical stance toward many later experiments. Recurring themes: Jonathan Davis's autobiographical lyrics, the band's influence on nu metal, and debates about experimentation vs. identity. Live performances and early records receive the most praise.

Notable Quotes

❝ this is the first review we're doing on what, in my opinion, is the best Korn album, the angriest one.
❝ "There is a place in my mind that I love to hide"
❝ Having Korn perform an Unplugged concert is like putting Nutella on a nice plate of macaroni: it doesn't make any damn sense!
