Corrosion Of Conformity - 'Good God / Baad Man' double album out today
Today marks the official unveiling of Good God / Baad Man, the monumental new double album from American heavy metal icons CORROSION OF CONFORMITY!
“...it’s most definitely COC’s most ambitious album to date, both in length and material,”writes Decibel Magazine in their latest feature on the band. “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 going...”
Rock Hard Germany concurs, "stylistically speaking, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s distinctive sonic blend has never been easy to pin down, as too many influences surface within the quartet’s material. From Southern rock and hardcore to sludge and doom – anything that was fun was fair game – and the double album Good God / Baad Man is, of course, no exception; rather, it pushes the quartet’s penchant for experimentation to the absolute limit... 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."
Blabbermouth gushes, "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. Whether you discovered this band through their early days as hardcore firebrands, during their major label '90s halcyon days, or at any other point along their unique story, this demands to be played as loud as possible and savored like a gift from the gods."
Adds Metal Addicts, "Sonically, there’s a lot of ground covered. Heavy riffs, mid-tempo grooves, touches of grunge in the vein of Soundgarden, and little details that give it personality – samples, cowbell, and textures that keep things interesting without ever feeling overproduced... What’s most impressive is how natural it all feels. This isn’t a band chasing their past or trying to recreate a specific era. They’ve kept the core COC DNA intact, but they’ve expanded on it— refined the groove, tightened the low end, and let the songs breathe in a way that feels earned."
