The Serenity of Suffering

The Serenity of Suffering brings Korn’s low, sinking guitars, uneasy bouncing rhythm and pain-filled vocals to the front. The production has modern weight, but the claustrophobia and tension associated with the band’s earlier identity remain present. Its choruses carry memorable melody, giving the heaviness an emotional outlet rather than leaving the album in darkness alone. The result is a record for listeners who want wounded feeling and heavy groove delivered without distance.
