San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller has gone full nü-metal with his latest on-field entrance, choosing a defining track from Korn as his walk-up music.
During yesterday’s (March 28) clash against the Detroit Tigers, Miller strode to the mound to the sound of “Blind” – the lead single from Korn‘s genre-defining, 2x platinum self-titled 1994 debut.
Miller, born August 24, 1998, is currently pitching for the San Diego Padres, having previously played for the Oakland Athletics. Since making his MLB debut in 2023, he has quickly risen through the ranks, earning an All-Star selection in 2024.
“Blind” itself carries a storied legacy within the nü-metal canon. The track was originally written while frontman Jonathan Davis was still a member of Sexart, prior to his departure to form Korn.
Korn‘s definitive version arrived when the band re-recorded the song for their 1994 debut LP. Though the core of the track had been completed during the Sexart era, Korn expanded on it significantly – introducing an extended intro inspired by the drum pattern from Primus‘ “Too Many Puppies,” layering cymbals and a subtle bassline to build tension before the original arrangement kicks in.
