详细介绍:
It’s often overlooked, but Korn’s 1994 self-titled album didn’t just hail the invention of their own signature style. With this release, the band completely levelled an uncultivated field and constructed a highway on which every nu metal band has been racing down at full speed ever since. Follow the Leader (1998) is prophetic in its title: In the last thirty years, bands within this genre have been dropping one by one, like flies. That is, everyone except the aforementioned Leader.
After dabbling in a bit of electro and integrating a bunch of studio tweaks into their mix, this album sees Korn go back to basics and produce a sound that’s more reminiscent of their second opus, Life is Peachy (1996). Wooden instruments, haunting vocals, and some background form effects that never take precedence over substance. Less stifling than their first album which focussed on the pain of living, Requiem presents a collection of outrageously stereotypical tracks, dark in their subject matter (of course) but sometimes very bright in their reproduction. The result is a record that feel much lighter than usual. You can listen to it tirelessly; you might even find yourself unable to resist humming along. Plus, you won’t need a box of Xanax to hand either. Hope to Sorrow, Start the Healing, and Let the Dark do the Rest are definitely not tributes to the joy of living (even Love is all could barely be classed as such), but the band feels undeniably calmer. They’ve even confessed that Requiem marks the beginning of a new chapter for them.
It’s hard to imagine Korn turning into a pop band who sings about partying with girls and drinking on Saturday night. But it does seem that, here in 2022, Jonathan Davis (vocals) seems to have his demons under control—he may have even partially tamed some of them. That’s the impression you get from Requiem. Is it a linchpin of the band’s discography? Maybe not. But Korn have undeniably released a good album with this one. And let’s be honest, a good album is all that’s needed to make what little competition is left look bad. © Charlélie Arnaud/Qobuz
