The Serenity of Suffering is the twelfth studio album by American nu metal band Korn. It was released on October 21, 2016. [4] According to guitarist Brian Welch, it is "heavier than anyone's heard us in a long time" [5] and it contains their most intense vocals and music in recent times. [6]

Background

The band began working on their follow up to The Paradigm Shift in 2015, with Head claiming that it would be "heavier than anyone's heard [us] in a long time". It's the first album to feature significant songwriting contributions from Head since he rejoined the band in 2013. The song " Take Me" was originally written by Jonathan Davis for his debut solo album, but after hearing it, the rest of Korn re-wrote the track and decided to include it on The Serenity of Suffering. [7]

The artwork includes the stuffed toy from Korn's fourth album, Issues, and was created by Ron English. [8]

Commercial performance

The Serenity of Suffering debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 with 57,000 units, 55,000 of which were pure album sales. [9] As of December 2017, the album has sold 133,000 copies in the US. [10]

AllMusic wrote: "Without pandering to career-peak nostalgia, Korn deftly execute all the hallmarks that have come to define their sound", calling it "one of their best albums". [12] Metal Hammer wrote: "The Serenity of Suffering is like a selection box of Korn's defining moments." [16]

A less favorable review came from Rolling Stone, writing: "Suffering is heavy enough to stand proudly in the Korn kanon, but not daring enough to be much else." [18]
