Few bands can claim to have had as many lives as Corrosion of Conformity. The group was born in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1982. They started out as a punk band, and 1984's Eye for an Eye is a hardcore classic. When their first singer left after their debut, the core trio of Mike Dean (bass, vocals), Woody Weatherman (guitar) and Reed Mullin (drums) soldiered on. As a three piece they recorded 1985's Animosity. This was an important album in the growing crossover movement, where bands like C.O...

What Corrosion of Conformity set out to do with their last self-titled album was understandable, but not entirely well-advised. For so many years of the band's existence former member Pepper Keenan had been one of the driving forces of the band's well-renowned sound, the eccentric fusion of sludge metal, southern rock and raw, almost Sabbathian doom proved a hit with many metalheads...

Tweet Nix It When Corrosion of Conformity returned in 2012 with a classic but refreshed lineup and a new self-titled LP, the result was akin to a history of the band itself, touching on their hardcore past, southern-rock middle and other doom-metal stylings they've shown, but the end result was cohesive and well-done. With their latest, IX, Mike Dean & Co. take the same approach, but with different results...

"Does 'IX' contain any radio friendly songs like 'Clean My Wounds?' Probably not. Is the album rife with killer riffs, harmonies, and style changes? Absolutely." Few bands return to the sound of their origins. Usually, they prefer to move forward even if their early material was their strongest. In 2012, Corrosion of Conformity revisited its punk-thrash roots with a self-titled effort and the "Megalodon" EP later in the year...

Genre: Metal Year: 2005 Country: USA Official Site: Corrosion of Conformity Details: Tracks & Audio Label: Sanctuary records The only reason I had already heard Corrosion of Conformity is because one of my co-workers who's into hard rock, motorcycles and big pick-up trucks once made me listen to a previous album because he thought I liked Metallica ? I actually only like "Enter the Sadman" and a couple of other songs...

Goto commentsLeave a commentShare Eye for an Eye Stands the Test of Time Corrosion of Conformity is an interesting band, in that they have two distinctly different sounds. While some of their records have all the aspects one would expect from a stoner metal album, with cleanish vocals and a grooving instrumental track, you can put on another album and hear the chaotic, discordant screams ripped straight from a Black Flag album...

Sound: This is an album released in 1994 by a band often credited with creating Metalcore in the early / mid-80's, the brilliant Corrosion Of Conformity. Note that this is not a Metalcore album, rather a pure slice of Southern Rock with a lot of heavy metal / hard rock influences and even a bit of country and blues...

Summary: No Pepper, but well spiced Corrosion of Conformity is an album of many firsts and new beginnings for the long-standing, well established group. Seven years preceded this latest release, the greatest gap between albums in their history. It is also the first with Reed Mullin behind the kit since the release of America's Volume Dealer at the turn of the century. Inclusive of that, this is the first record not to feature Pepper Keenan in any capacity since their 1987 effort, Technocracy...

Sound: Corrosion Of Conformity have been releasing albums since their debut in 1984 with "Eye for an Eye" and as they have their sound has evolved from punk metal to more of a straight metal sound. Their self titled album will be their 8th studio release. This will be the first album in 25 years that Pepper Keenan will not be filling the vocalist role in the band...
