San Diego Padres’ Mason Miller turned Korn’s “Blind” into his new entrance song

San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller has fully embraced the nü-metal energy for his latest entrance, selecting one of Korn’s most defining tracks as his walk-up music.

During yesterday’s (March 28) matchup against the Detroit Tigers, Miller took the mound to the unmistakable sound of “Blind” — the opening single from Korn’s genre-shaping, 2x platinum self-titled debut released in 1994.

Born on August 24, 1998, Miller currently pitches for the San Diego Padres after previously spending time with the Oakland Athletics. Since making his MLB debut in 2023, he has rapidly climbed the ranks, earning an All-Star nod in 2024.

“Blind” carries a deep and influential legacy within the nü-metal movement. The song was originally written while frontman Jonathan Davis was still performing with Sexart, before leaving the band to form Korn.

The version fans know today came when Korn reworked the track for their 1994 debut album. While the foundation was laid during the Sexart era, the band significantly expanded the arrangement — adding a drawn-out intro inspired by the drum pattern of Primus’ “Too Many Puppies,” layering cymbals and a subtle bassline to build tension before the main riff explodes in.
