    The hit of serotonin for longtime fans is an absolute joy. Against the odds, Korn have done it again with Requiem, a quick and ferocious blast that finds the band still hungry and innovative nearly 30 years into the game.

    Musically, Requiem is heavy but not stodgy, fresh but familiar, and accessible without ever feeling forced. Its wisest creative decision, though, is keeping things lean and mean. At just nine tracks, there are few moments that feel anything less than essential.

    ‘Requiem’ has brought something new to a discography that, until now, has been an exploration of human suffering. It’s led to the band’s most nuanced record to date.

    Korn are anew, and ‘Requiem’ sees them fearless, no longer managing a balancing act with imprudent collaborators and instead embracing what made them famous to begin with. Impressively, their 14th studio album is teeming with riveting hooks.

    For fans of nu metal and heavy riffs, Requiem will not disappoint, but it lacks the sadness that Korn have long tapped into to differentiate themselves from the pack.

    What remains is a solid, engaging late-period Korn album that doesn’t add an awful lot to their legacy, but certainly doesn’t disgrace it.

    When Jonathan Davis sings "I know this all sounds so cliché," on "Lost In The Grandeur," he's pretty much right. [Feb 2022, p.72]

    This is a fantastic album. Requiem feels heavy but groovy at the same time. It feels like you wanna get up and move and proper rock out to it.

    A whole lotta 90s vibes from Jonathan and the boys.
    If Ya old enough - You will for sure catch this nostalgia feeling.

The same formula is used to write every song and there is no progression in their sound.
