Korn's First New Music in 4 Years is a Custom Song for Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred

Complete with a music video for 'Reward the Scars'

The final expansion pack for Blizzard’s Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred launched this week, with a custom song and music video from Korn. 

“Reward the Scars” presents a mashup of how the battle against Mephisto plays out, plus the band’s performance. The music is fuel for Mephisto as he slashes those closest to him. It’s loud, angry and gets the blood pumping.

72andSunny worked with animation house Passion and director Philippe Guyenne to blend music and gaming.

“We wanted to honor the dark, illustrative roots of the game while fueling the fire for both fandoms, creating something as uncompromising as the legacies behind them. No respawn, no compromises, no AI,” says Guyenne.

“Having Korn’s ‘Reward the Scars’ become the rage fuel for Mephisto’s transformation as he obliterates all who oppose him felt like a perfect kickoff,” adds Tim Wolfe, agency GCD.
