September 21, 2023 Deep Dive: Korn - Follow The Leader
This week, we dive deep into the best selling album from the godfather's of Nu-Metal, Korn. 'Follow The Leader' was a cross-over success thanks to its more polished sound and infamous music videos being played non-stop on MTV's TRL. The band streamlined their songs making them more pallatable, all whilst keeping the raw emotion from the previous albums. 2023 also marks the 25 year anniversary of this monsterous album. Seems fitting that we add it to the list of our classic albums!
