Life Is Peachy is Korn's second album. The album was released on October 15, 1996 through Immortal/Epic Records. It was produced by Ross Robinson who also produced their debut album, Korn. The album features an even darker sound than the debut album.
"Low Rider" is a cover of the song by the band War, with vocals by guitarist Brian "Head" Welch. "Porno Creep" is the band's only instrumental to date, taking the style of the wah-drenched pseudo-funk music which features on the soundtracks of many 1970s porn movies. "K@#Ø%!" is a song with many obscene lyrics written as a joke to spite radio censors. "Wicked" is a cover of Ice Cube's song, performed by Chino Moreno of Deftones. Both bands had played together several times, with Moreno performing the song with Korn on these occasions. A b-side to this album entitled "Proud", can be found on the I Know What You Did Last Summer soundtrack.
The album debuted on #3 spot on The Billboard 200, selling 106,000 of copies in its first week despite minimal radio airplay and TV attention. To date, it has sold over 2 million units in the United States.
