Welch reunites on stage

After a stint of festival appearances, Korn promoted The Path of Totality during a headlining tour of the same name . Korn split their show into three sections. The band kicked off by playing tracks from their first two albums, including the B-side “Proud”, which was originally included on the soundtrack to the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer . They followed with a different stage set up, playing several of their new songs. The set list ended with hit singles and an encore. Other appearances came from Datsik , Downlink, and Dope D.O.D. A special album release performance filmed and recorded at the Hollywood Palladium was issued in various formats through Shout! Factory in September 2012. The Path of Totality won Album of the Year at the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards. This was Korn’s first victory at the Golden Gods Awards, a ceremony that celebrates the best in hard rock and heavy metal music. Korn was also inducted into the Kerrang! Hall of Fame during the 2011 Kerrang! Awards . On May 5, 2012, guitarist Brian “Head” Welch joined Korn on stage at the Carolina Rebellion festival to play “Blind” for the first time since his departure. As recalled in the documentary DVD Reconciliation , Welch’s appearance was a spur-of-the-moment decision: Welch initially visited the festival because of his daughter, who was a fan of bands performing. Welch joined Red on stage for a song, and would eventually be persuaded to join his old bandmates in Korn for a meet and greet . Upon Korn preparing for the show, the guitar tech prepared an extra guitar and amplifier for Welch, “just in case”.
