Powerful New Documentary Details How Christ Helped Korn Guitarist Heal His Relationship With His Daughter
Korn-guitarist-turned-born-again-Christian Brian “Head” Welch has made no secret of the way Christ has transformed his life and healed him inside and out.
But an upcoming documentary will profile a lesser-known struggle of the former drug-addict who left, and then rejoined the iconic Nu metal band.
His relationship with his daughter, Jennea, and the way Christ breathed new life into both father and daughter.
IMDB profiles the film, “Loud Krazy Love,” which details Jeannea and Welch’s history over the backdrop of Welch’s ups and downs in the music industry.
“At the downbeat of the new millennium there was no bigger, darker, or more deeply influential hard rock band in the world than KoRn. But for lead guitarist Brian Head Welch, a dream come true was giving way to a raging nightmare of self-loathing and addiction. Solely responsible for his grade school daughter, and managing a viscous relationship with crystal meth, Brian sought solace in the one place he never thought he could belong. Church.
Armed with an addict’s zeal, he walked away from a $23M record deal to launch himself into single-fatherhood and religion with equal abandon. But years of anger and self-abuse led Brian and his daughter to a dangerous crossroads. Suicidal, and cutting herself from arm to arm, Jennea Welch needed an intervention, and Brian needed a major dose of courage. At the end of himself, he made an even harder decision than leaving KoRn. Told with intimate access to the family and band, this genre-bending documentary delivers unprecedented access to one of rock’s most unbelievable stories of restoration.”
The film will premiere on December 14th on Showtime, according to a recent Instagram post, and reveals how Welch’s life turned around when he “walks out on a $23 M record deal in order to become a good father to his daughter.”

The trailer for the film is powerful, and likely to move you to tears as father and daughter discuss the struggles of life with Korn, the moment Welch turned it all over to the Lord and walked away from his old lifestyle, and the demons that continued to haunt the family in the years to come.
Looks like a powerful, raw, and beautiful testimony of the struggles of the fallen world and the power of love to overcome evil.
