CD Korn – Issues

Released on November 16, 1999, Korn’s Issues stands as a landmark achievement in the nu-metal genre. Moving away from the hip-hop influences of their earlier work to emphasize a heavier, grittier "grinder" metal sound, this fourth studio album proved that Korn could dominate the charts without compromising their aggressive artistic vision.

Produced by Brendan O'Brien and recorded at A&M Studios and Southern Tracks, Issues debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, selling 575,000 copies in its first week. It remains a essential piece of alternative metal history, celebrated for its dark, atmospheric soundscapes and Jonathan Davis’s evolved vocal performance.

Key Highlights:

• Genre: Nu Metal / Alternative Metal
• Chart-Topping Success: Certified triple platinum by the RIAA shortly after its release, with over 3 million units sold in the US alone.
• Essential Tracks: Includes the hit singles "Falling Away from Me" and "Make Me Bad."
• Production: A return to a heavier, more simplified groove-driven aesthetic that solidified Korn’s status as industry leaders.

This limited edition release is a must-have for any collector looking to own the album that paved the way for the most successful era of modern alternative metal.
