Korn Premiere New 'Diablo IV'-Inspired Single "Reward The Scars"

Korn have surprise-released a new track titled “Reward The Scars,” created in collaboration with the upcoming “Lord Of Hatred” expansion for the 2023 action RPG “Diablo IV,” which is due out April 28th. The song marks the pioneering nü-metal band’s first new material in roughly five years and was written specifically with the game in mind.

For the track, the band reunited with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Deftones, Evanescence), who previously worked with them on their 2019 album “The Nothing.” Frontman Jonathan Davis—long known to be an avid gamer—hasn’t confirmed his personal connection to the Diablo series, but the collaboration fits naturally given his interests.

The release also comes just days before Korn’s return to the stage. Their first show since last October is set for this Saturday, April 25th, as part of the returning “Sick New World” festival in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their current live schedule is as follows:
