IfIssues represented an artistic, critical, and commercial triumph at a crucial moment for Korn, how would the band respond to the inevitable pressure of its follow-up?

Unfathomably heavy, uncompromisingly introspective, and startlingly unique, Untouchables catapulted Korn to yet another level. But what should we expect? After all, this is a band marked by an insatiable desire to push the rock envelope. It’s what makes them Korn.
