Background


The band began working on their follow up to The Paradigm Shift in 2015, with Head claiming that it would be "heavier than anyone's heard [us] in a long time". It's the first album to feature significant songwriting contributions from Head since he rejoined the band in 2013. The song "Take Me" was originally written by Jonathan Davis for his debut solo album, but after hearing it, the rest of Korn re-wrote the track and decided to include it on The Serenity of Suffering.[7]

The artwork includes the stuffed toy from Korn's fourth album, Issues, and was created by Ron English.[8]


Commercial performance


The Serenity of Suffering debuted at number 4 on the US Billboard 200 with 57,000 units, 55,000 of which were pure album sales.[9] As of December 2017, the album has sold 133,000 copies in the US.[10]

The Serenity of Suffering received an approval rating of 67/100 on review aggregator website Metacritic based on nine reviews, indicating a "generally favorable" response from critics.[11]

AllMusic wrote: "Without pandering to career-peak nostalgia, Korn deftly execute all the hallmarks that have come to define their sound", calling it "one of their best albums".[12] Metal Hammer wrote: "The Serenity of Suffering is like a selection box of Korn's defining moments."[16]

A less favorable review came from Rolling Stone, writing: "Suffering is heavy enough to stand proudly in the Korn kanon, but not daring enough to be much else."[18]
