Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today debuted a music video for “Reward the Scars,” an original new song created by KoЯn, 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 KoЯn ’s first new music in over four years. Channelling 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 recognised for their raw, confessional songwriting and willingness to confront themes of pain, trauma, and transformation, KoЯn 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 KoЯn ’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,” said Jonathan Davis, KoЯn frontman. “I’ve always connected to the darkness in the game and the idea of confronting what lives beneath the surface –– that’s something KoЯn has explored in our music from the beginning. ‘Reward the Scars’ came out of our own writing sessions as a new KoЯn song, and it became clear pretty quickly that it was a natural fit for Diablo.”

“This collaboration came together naturally—KoЯn and Diablo live in that space of confronting darkness head-on,” said Kevin Bjelajac, VP of Brand & Creative Marketing at Blizzard. “With Lord of Hatred, we’re telling a story about consequence, choice, and what it means to embrace—or resist—the pull of evil. ‘Reward the Scars’ captures that spirit perfectly.”
