Four brothers united in a decades-long history kicked off by a roving pack of teenage punks in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1982. CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s first four albums left a permanent mark on headbangers, longhairs, and street punks everywhere: Underground classics Eye For An Eye (1984) and Animosity (1985) followed by slightly more overground bangers Blind (1991) and Deliverance (1994). By the time CORROSION OF CONFORMITY carved off No Cross No Crown nearly a quarter century later, they were legends in their own time, revered by two generations of punk, metal, and rock fans. Then tragedy struck: In January 2020, Reed Mullin left this earthly plane. It was a devastating blow, both personally and professionally. How do you replace a brother? You can’t. All you can do is soldier on in his memory. Which is what the rest of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY did – until COVID-19 shut down the globe. Then Mike Dean decided to go his own way. It was an amicable split, but it left Pepper and Woody to contemplate their next move. They hunkered down at Keenan’s place in Mississippi, listening to all the music they love. Discharge. ZZ Top. Motörhead. Neil Young. Black Sabbath. They started writing. They didn’t stop. In fact, they composed a massive double album. The concept happens to be the title of the record. It’s called Good God / Baad Man. “Our producer, Warren Riker, kept calling it Dark Side Of The Doom,” recalls Pepper. “In my head, it’s a weird love letter to all things rock ‘n’ roll. We used that for the freedom to go in different directions. Each album is its own tiny universe and has its own identity. Good God leans toward the heavier/pissed end of the spectrum. Baad Man is more on the throwdown rock scope. As we went along, it became clear which songs went on which album.” They brought in drummer Stanton Moore, who played on CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 2005 album, In The Arms Of God. They brought in bassist Bobby “Rock” Landgraf, who did time with Pepper in New Orleans heavyweights Down when he wasn’t terrorizing the locals in his own band, Honky. “With a lot of these songs, we’re trying to make Reed Mullin proud,” Pepper says. “He was a badass, and a one-of-a-kind drummer. And the stakes were high.” Good God / Baad Man Track Listing: Album 1 1. Good God? / Final Dawn 2. You Or Me 3. Gimme Some Moore 4. The Handler 5. Bedouin’s Hand 6. Run For Your Life Album 2 7. Baad Man 8. Lose Yourself 9. Mandra Sonos 10. Asleep On The Killing Floor 11. Handcuff County 12. Swallowing The Anchor 13. Brickman 14. Forever Amplified “…COC’s most ambitious album to date, both in length and material…It literally spans the entire breadth of what the band is capable of from furious punk (‘Gimme Some Moore’) to Southern stoner rock (‘You Or Me’) to melancholy acoustic Americana (‘Brickman’) and maybe even pushes into some new areas (the gospel-inflected doom of ‘Forever Amplified’). This is COC in 2026, led by two musicians separated geographically, but brought together by the shared love of the almighty riff, and keeping the legacy.” – Decibel Magazine “…further proof that when Metallica transformed into U2 in the ‘90s, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY should have taken the torch. Pepper Keenan, Woody Weatherman, and associates remain criminally underrated and yet somehow revel in being the cool underdogs who continue to strut around town without a care in the world.” – Metal Forces “… Good God / Baad Man is a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ – a total work of art – whose multifaceted nature defies easy categorization yet draws the listener in with an intensity that is all the more profound.” – Rock Hard Germany “Best experienced in its languorous, lawless entirety, Good God / Baad Man is by far the most immersive and free-spirited album that CORROSION OF CONFORMITY have ever made. It is also wired to the tits on the same feral, moonshine spirit that has propelled this band through more than four decades of road-hogging commitment to the hard rock cause… this demands to be played as loud as possible and savored like a gift from the gods.” – Blabbermouth “That signature groove just keeps on raging… It’s a sound that’s not as bleak as Crowbar, nor as raw as Superjoint Ritual and latter-day Pantera, but for those with a penchant for doom metal with a tall order of punk sensibilities and that classic southern edge, it’s a must-hear.” – Sonic Perspectives “…a stellar, almost peerless, heavy rock record from artists who know their craft inside and out. All four musicians are at the top of their game, and not a single note sounds forced or uninspired.” – The Sleeping Shaman “Good God / Baad Man is a big, vibrant, engaging double album that taps into every corner of the Corrosion of Conformity sound. Loads of killer riffs, sick grooves, good vibes, and the performances across the board feel full of life.” – Sputnik Music CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Recording Lineup: Pepper Keenan – guitar, vocals Woody Weatherman – guitar Stanton Moore – drums Bobby Landgraf – bass CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Live Lineup: Pepper Keenan – guitar, vocals Woody Weatherman – guitar Bobby Landgraf – bass Nick Shabatura – drums For CORROSION OF CONFORMITY coverage inquiries, contact liz@earsplitcompound.com. http://www.coc.com http://www.instagram.com/coccabal http://www.facebook.com/corrosionofconformity http://www.x.com/coccabal http://www.nuclearblast.com http://www.instagram.com/nuclearblastrecords http://www.facebook.com/nuclearblastrecords http://x.com/nuclearblast   |
