KORN changed the rock world with the release of its self-titled debut album. It was a record that would pioneer a movement and blur genres, while the band's enduring success points to a larger cultural moment. Since forming, KORN has sold 40 million albums worldwide, collected two Grammys, toured the world countless times, and set many records in the process that will likely never be surpassed. Vocalist Jonathan Davis, guitarists James "Munky" Shaffer and Brian "Head" Welch, bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu, and drummer Ray Luzier have continued to push the limits of the rock, alternative and metal genres, while remaining a pillar of influence for legions of fans and generations of artists around the globe. The level of KORN's reach transcends accolades and platinum certifications. They are a genuine movement in a way bands cannot be now," attests The Ringer.

FAITH NO MORE is Mike Bordin (drums),Roddy Bottum (keyboards),Bill Gould (bass),Jon Hudson (guitar),and Mike Patton (vocals). The San Francisco-born, platinum-selling band has released seven studio albums: "We Care A Lot" (1985),"Introduce Yourself" (1987),"The Real Thing" (1989),"Angel Dust" (1992),"King For A Day… Fool For A Lifetime" (1995),"Album Of The Year" (1997) and "Sol Invictus" (2015). "Sol Invictus" debuted atop the international sales charts: No. 2 in Australia, No. 4 in Germany, and No. 6 in both the U.S. and UK. Rolling Stone dubbed the 10-song album "triumphant," the New Yorker called it "a reminder of everything that made FAITH NO MORE great in the first place," and the Los Angeles Times said, "FAITH NO MORE has a history of defying expectations, and that's what it's doing again with 'Sol Invictus'."
