KoЯn is a nu metal band from Bakersfield, California, United States. They originally formed as LAPD, which consisted of all five members apart from singer Jonathan Davis. They later changed their name to Creep. When Davis joined the band in 1993, they changed their name to KoЯn, releasing their debut album KoЯn through Epic/Immortal Records in October 1994.
KoЯn are often cited as inspiring the wave of nu metal bands that appeared in the late 1990s and early 2000s; they are credited for giving significant boosts to Limp Bizkit and Deftones.
Davis' distinctive singing—often a series of grunts, whines and bizarre scats—and his lyrics, are inspired in part by his alleged child abuse by an unnamed party. The group's music is a blend of pounding, tribal drums and loud, distorted seven-string guitars, and has gained the band popularity throughout the years.
As of 2004, the group have remained successful: KoЯn recently released a greatest hits album, with two cover versions as singles. The first single is a cover of Cameo's 1980s hit, Word Up. The other is a cover of the three parts of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall.
The band continues to progress and experiment with new sounds, including never-before-heard in KoЯn songs, guitar solos. The band completed their record deal with Sony Records and now plans to release their future albums themselves, setting a new precedent for big name artists.
KoЯn continues to break the rules while remaining true to not only themselves, but their fans as well.
