Corrosion Of Conformity Artist Snapshot:

Originally one of the many hardcore punk bands that dotted the map of the United States in the early 1980s, North Carolina's Corrosion of Conformity integrated elements of heavy metal--namely its power and virtuosity--to help give rise to the subgenre known as thrash metal. By the mid 1990s, C.O.C. had developed into a full-on heavy-metal act with crossover appeal, while their sly use of Southern Rock tropes helped set them apart from other metal acts. Although many would argue that the group's heyday had passed by the turn of the century, C.O.C. continued to record and perform, and maintained a healthy fan base.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (11/4/94, p.77) - "...One of the few post-hardcore metal outfits who don't march in lockstep with Metallica clones. The band juices its mammoth sound with memorable riffs, nuanced songwriting, even blues power....They swing and connect..." - Rating: A-

Title Note

Corrosion Of Conformity: Pepper Keenan (vocals, guitar); Woody Weatherman (guitar); Mike Dean (bass, background vocals); Reed Mullin (drums, background vocals).

Additional personnel: Bruce Smith (pedal steel guitar).

Engineers: Jeff Tomei, Mark Richardson, John Custer.

Recorded in Atlanta, Georgia.

The state of the music scene circa 1995 reflects a younger generation's disenchantment with society's standards, and pontificating about such matters is one of alternative rock's most popular themes. This nihilism goes beyond the realms of third or fourth generation punk. Corrosion Of Conformity touches upon this pessimistic outlook on DELIVERANCE.

Musically, C.O.C. is much darker and heavier than the more stripped down punk bands who look to the Buzzcocks, not Black Sabbath, for guidance. Pepper Keenan's vocals, coupled with guitarist Woody Weatherman's Iommi-an leads (particularly on "Albatross") bring to mind vintage Sabbath. Religious themes, dealing with the proliferation of evil and the disintegration of faith, are continually touched upon. "Broken Man" deals with a broken spirit, and "Heaven's Not Overflowing" is about a decayed society. Sin's use as a tool of power by organized religion is the crux of "Shake Like You," while the title track delivers a message of self-reliance rather than expecting salvation in the zero hour. A settling balm to these thunderous pronunciations is the inclusion of songs like "Without Wings," and "Shelter" whose gentle strumming and swooping pedal steel accompaniment is provided by guest musician Bruce Smith.
