Korn Unveils 'Reward the Scars' as Blizzard Premieres Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred Video

The gaming tie-in marks the band’s return to new music after a four-year gap.

Overview

  • Blizzard Entertainment premiered the animated music video Monday for Korn’s first new song in more than four years, timed to Diablo IV’s Lord of Hatred expansion launch.
  • Korn debuted the track live over the weekend at Las VegasSick New World festival, giving fans an early look during the band’s headlining set.
  • Frontman Jonathan Davis said Blizzard invited the collaboration, and the band adapted an unrecorded composition with lyrics inspired by Diablo’s grind-and-loot play loop.
  • The video leans into Diablo’s lore with a gory, comic-book style that features the demon Mephisto and scenes of brutal combat.
  • The single is available to stream on major platforms and as a 7-inch picture disc released through Loma Vista.
