With aggressive downtuned grooves and lyrics as heavy as the music that they’re joined to, KoЯn helped kick off the nu-metal movement. The band’s bold blending of a wide range of influences—from hard rock and metal to funk and hip-hop—inspired countless bands in the years that followed and left a lasting mark on popular music.

When cutting tracks in the studio or throwing it down on stage, band members Head and Munky depend on .73mm gauge Tortex^® Picks and their custom set of Heavy Core^® Electric Guitar Strings.
