Here's a compilation that came out this past week that we neglected to mention: a new Essential title from Legacy, covering the work of nu-metal group Korn.
The Bakersfield, California rockers were one of the hottest acts on the rock scene in the 1990s, turning out dark, angsty songs that fused melodic guitar solos and hip-hop-influenced beats. Though the band is still together, they've endured some personnel changes over the years - guitarist Brian "Head" Welch famously left the band in 2006 after becoming a Christian and distancing himself from the band's hostile (if not violent) image, and founding drummer David Silveria left the band a year later. And while the band hasn't been with Epic since the mid-2000's, their newest EP is due out this summer.
This two-disc set touches on all the major Epic singles and adds two rarer cuts: a soundtrack song, "Proud," and "Jingle Balls," from a 1999 EP.
The full specs are after the jump!
