Surprise! Korn drop first new single since 2022, Reward The Scars

Korn have just unleashed their first new music in four years.

The Bakersfield titans’ surprise new banger goes by the name Reward The Scars, and it arrives right in time for this weekend’s mega headline slot at the Las Vegas edition of Sick New World 2026.

Inspired by Diablo IV: Lord Of Hatred – and, indeed, taken from the soundtrack to the forthcoming expansion pack of the game, which is due out on April 28 – the song is Korn’s first since 2022 album Requiem. Of course, they’ve done plenty in the interim, though, from touring the world, to headlining Download Festival for the first time last year, and teaming up with adidas for some incredible collabs.

Stream Reward The Scars below, and watch this space if there’s any more to come from them soon (we hope):

Catch the band live at the following dates later this year:
