Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. has debuted a music video for Reward the Scars, an original new song created by Korn, the multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning band whose influence has shaped heavy music for over three decades. The song, released alongside the new Diablo® IV expansion, Lord of Hatred, is Korn’s first new music in over four years. Channeling the emotional weight, intensity, and darkness that both brands are known for, Reward the Scars explores what remains after the fight: pain, survival, and what that ultimately turns you into.
Long recognized for their raw, confessional songwriting and willingness to confront themes of pain, trauma, and transformation, Korn bring a perspective that naturally aligns with Diablo’s universe, thus making the collaboration feel like an extension of their core identity.
The song was debuted live during Korn’s recent set at Sick New World, offering fans an early glimpse of the prodigious track. The official music video builds on that, bringing Diablo’s world to life through a visual lens defined by dread, power, and resistance.
“I’ve played Diablo for years, so getting to step into that world creatively felt natural. “I’ve always connected to the darkness in the game and the idea of confronting what lives beneath the surface –– that’s something Korn has explored in our music from the beginning. ‘Reward the Scars’ came out of our own writing sessions as a new Korn song, and it became clear pretty quickly that it was a natural fit for Diablo.” - Jonathan Davis
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred is the second expansion to Diablo IV and the climactic conclusion to the Age of Hatred saga. As the hour of reckoning approaches, players are drawn into a final confrontation with Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, whose influence now threatens to consume Sanctuary entirely. What began as an act to contain evil now comes due—forcing players to face the consequences of that choice and determine the fate of a world on the brink.
