California, formed in 1993. The current band line up includes four members:

Leader is recognized as Korn's mainstream breakthrough, peaking at number one
on the Billboard 200 in August 1998, along with the following album, Issues, in
November 1999. The band released Untouchables in June 2002, and later released
Take a Look in the Mirror in November 2003. Their first compilation album,
Greatest Hits Vol. 1, was released in October 2004, concluding Korn's contract
with Epic and Immortal Records. They eventually signed to Virgin Records,
releasing See You on the Other Side in December 2005, and an untitled album in

Totality, were released via Roadrunner Records in July 2010 and December 2011,
respectively.
