Corrosion Of Conformity, the legendary American metal outfit, will release their long-awaited new double album “Good God / Baad Man” on April 3 via Nuclear Blast.
It’s the band’s first album since its predecessor “No Cross No Crown” came out eight years ago.
Corrosion Of Conformity’s first four albums are now considered cult classics among metal fans: that means the underground classics “Eye For An Eye” (1984) and “Animosity” (1985), and of course “Blind” (1991) and “Deliverance” (1994). A quarter of a century later, when the band put out “No Cross No Crown”, Corrosion Of Conformity had grown into bona fide legends of their time, revered by generations of punks, metalheads and rock fans alike!
In January 2020, tragedy struck the band when Reed Mullin passed away. Not long after, Mike Dean decided to leave too. That left just Pepper Keenan (vocals, guitar) and Woody Weatherman (guitar). They holed up in Keenan’s place in Mississippi and listened: Discharge, ZZ Top, Motörhead, Neil Young and Black Sabbath. You know. The good stuff. And new material started coming together. Lots of new material.
To fill the gaps in the lineup for the new album, they brought in drummer Stanton Moore, who played on the Corrosion Of Conformity album “In The Arms Of God” (2005), and bassist Bobby ‘Rock’ Landgraf, who once worked with Pepper in the New Orleans heavyweights Down and played in his own outfit Honky.
“Good God / Baad Man” was produced by Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, Cathedral). It was recorded at several studios: Blak Shak (Riffissippi), Dockside (Maurice, Louisiana) and the home studio of legendary Bee Gees member Barry Gibb in Miami (Florida). The cover art comes from Scott Guion.
Below you can check out the album’s first single, Gimme Some Moore, which comes with an official music video. It was directed by Pepper Keenan.
“Good God / Baad Man” will be available in all the major formats, and you can already pre-order it.
