The band relied solely on their intense live shows which created a large cultlike following of dedicated fans. Once Korn saw a release on October 11, 1994, the band toured incessantly with no support from radio or video stations. " Blind" was the first single from the album, which got a decent amount of airplay and attention. Musically, the album was a mix of heavy metal, grunge, hip hop, and funk the latter elements encompassed in the rhythmic approach to the band's compositions. With a producer and a label, Ko Яn started work on their self-titled debut album. After many attempts at a record deal, Paul Pontius from Immortal/Epic Records heard the band in a nightclub and was so impressed that he signed them on the spot. The band experienced problems within the search for a label during its first year due to the 1990s rock scene, which was primarily grunge. In April that year, the band began a working relationship with producer Ross Robinson, which led to their first demo tape entitled Neidermeyer's Mind. One of the band members came up with the idea to spell it as "KoЯn", with the stylization of that of a child would design it, with a "K" instead of "C" and a backwards, upper-case "R". After pioneering some names, the members decided on "Corn." Davis suggested the name during a jam session. After Davis was recruited, they shared an interest into renaming the group. Davis initially did not want to join the band, but after consulting a psychic he decided to audition and then joined. In early 1993, the band took notice of vocalist Jonathan Davis after seeing his band Sexart and made an attempt to recruit him into Creep. They continued to search for a new vocalist. After recording a demo tape around 1992, they became dissatisfied with Cinque, and fired him from the band. Musicians Reginald Arvizu, James Shaffer, and David Silveria wanted to continue, recruiting guitarist Brian Welch and vocalist Corey Cinque. disbanded, due to singer Richard Morrill's drug addiction. Ko Яn was founded after the group L.A.P.D. History Inception and debut album (1992–1996)
