"The Nothing" is the thirteenth studio album by American nu metal band, Korn. It was released on September 13, 2019 through Roadrunner and Elektra Records. The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, marking it as the band's first album since 'See You on the Other Side' not produced by their drummer Ray Luzier.
Musically, "The Nothing" represents a thematic exploration of darkness and loss, inspired largely by personal tragedy. In particular, the unexpected death of singer Jonathan Davis's wife in August 2018 had a significant influence on the recording process and the emotional intensity of the tracks.
The album comprises 13 tracks, including singles "You'll Never Find Me" and "Can You Hear Me". Upon its release, it received mostly positive reviews from music critics, who praised its heavy sound and emotional lyrics. The album also performed well commercially, debuting at number eight on the US Billboard 200 and becoming the band's 14th top 10 album.
While staying true to Korn's signature mix of nu metal and alternative metal, "The Nothing" captures a band grappling with the desolation and desperation resulting from significant loss, channeling it all into a raw and passionate record.
