LOUD KRAZY LOVE: A Love Letter to Korn Fans and Christians Alike



          KoRn is a band that is not usually associated with Christianity, or religion in general. However, over ten years ago, Brian "Head" Welch left the multi-award winning band to pursue a new life. This was a story that I had heard before as I had started following Head after the release of Save Me From Myself  a decade ago.



        Head's album is what got me into KoRn. At the time, KoRn was putting out albums without Welch, and many would say that they were struggling during his absence. Loud Krazy Love tells the story of Welch hitting rock bottom and how God changed (and continues to change) his life in the process. Head would be the first to tell you that he really was at rock bottom. Drugs had a hold on his life and were getting in the way of raising his daughter. Regardless of who or what you believe in, and if you are religious or not, when watching this doc it is abundantly clear that Welch went through a tremendous change.

TL;DR    9 out of 10 

          I cannot recommend this enough. This is a great documentary for both KoRn fans and believers alike. This is by no means a Christian documentary, which I think makes it that much stronger as it reaches a whole new audience. There is explicit language throughout, particularly from KoRn front man Jonathan Davis who seemed to be the only band member who was/is anti-religion, but the documentary never claims to be about anything more than Brian Head Welch's life since leaving the band, and his later return. This might not be one for the kids, but nevertheless I highly recommend it.
