Korn Surprise-Release 'Reward the Scars' for Diablo IV Expansion

The track is their first since 2022, raising fresh questions over Fieldy’s role.

Overview

  • Korn issued the single Thursday as a soundtrack cut for Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred, which launches April 28.
  • The release ends a two-year gap since Requiem and arrives with no announcement of a new album.
  • Official credits list Nick Raskulinecz as producer, engineers Matt Hyde and James Harley, a Chris Lord-Alge mix, and Ted Jensen mastering.
  • Reporting says the recording does not feature founding bassist Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu, while touring bassist Roberto “Ra” Díaz remains onstage and fans are debating who played bass on the track.
  • The drop comes ahead of the band’s Sick New World set in Las Vegas, and the Blizzard tie-in follows past star collaborations as Jonathan Davis’s long-running Blizzard fandom adds credibility.
