Korn bio

Korn (sometimes typeset as "KoЯn" to fit the official logo) is an alternative metal band from Bakersfield, California. They are often credited with popularizing the nu metal genre and, along with other bands of the time, inspiring many of nu metal, alternative metal and rap metal bands through the mid-1990s and early 2000s. Despite this, Korn have been quoted for disliking the term and disliking even being called "metal." Since their 1994 self-titled debut momu, Korn have sold over 25 million records worldwide, including 16 million in the U.S., making them one of the best-selling metal acts of the last twelve years. The band's catalogue consists of seven consecutive platinum studio albums, one platinum compilation album, and seven consecutive debuts (including the compilation album Greatest Hits, Volume 1) in the top 10 of Billboard Top 200 best selling albums. To date Korn has scored 6 Grammy nominations, and won 2 such awards. 8 of their albums have been certified as multi-platinum. The band has also the biggest number of retired videos for a rock/metal band in MTV Total Request Live history (five).
