"Rotting in Vain" was Korn's opening shot from The Serenity of Suffering, their 12th studio album, sent out as the lead single in July 2016 with Nick Raskulinecz in the producer's chair. The band had unveiled it days earlier, playing it live for the first time at Chicago Open Air.
All five members share the writing credit, and it's Korn at its murkiest: Head and Munky's downtuned guitars warp and smear, Fieldy's bass circles like a vulture, Ray Luzier grinds out the groove and Jonathan Davis sounds genuinely tormented. Josh Wilbur mixed it. It climbed to number 4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance.
