Facts
- Untouchables is the fifth studio album by American nu metal band Korn.
- Untouchables isn't Korn's highest-charting or best-selling album, but it was by far their most expensive. As bassist Reginald "Fieldy" Arvizu told Kerrang! a month before the record dropped, the band racked up a whopping $4 million tab over the course of its creation process. Most of that money was spent on housing the crew and funding the band's lavish rock star lifestyles, but the recording itself still cost a cool $700,000. That's over $1 million today adjusted for inflation.
- The album was officially released on June 11, 2002, and featured the Grammy-winning single "Here to Stay".
