In 1994, Korn's self-titled debut album marked their arrival. It was dark and brash and it demanded attention, as did their second album in 1996, Life Is Peachy. Good going for a new band, but in 1998, Follow The Leader saw Korn's success and notoriety accelerate exponentially. With constant demand for the singles, 'Got The Life' and 'Freak On A Leash' on MTV, Korn exceeded their own expectations. For both the band and their fans, this was the start of something exciting, albeit turbulent.
In this book, author Laura Shenton MA LLCM DipRSL offers an in-depth perspective on Follow The Leader from a range of angles including how the album came to be, how it was presented and received at the time (live as well as on record), and what it means in terms of Korn's legacy today.
