Back in 2018, when \u003cem\u003eNo Cross No Crown\u003c\/em\u003e dropped like a rock ‘n’ roll atom bomb, the tried-and-true CORROSION OF CONFORMITY line-up of \u003cstrong\u003ePepper Keenan\u003c\/strong\u003e (vocals, guitar), \u003cstrong\u003eWoody Weatherman\u003c\/strong\u003e (guitar), \u003cstrong\u003eReed Mullin\u003c\/strong\u003e (drums), and \u003cstrong\u003eMike Dean\u003c\/strong\u003e (bass) was still going strong. Four brothers united in a decades-long history kicked off by a roving pack of teenage punks in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1982.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s first four albums left a permanent mark on headbangers, longhairs, and street punks everywhere: Underground classics \u003cem\u003eEye For An Eye\u003c\/em\u003e (1984) and \u003cem\u003eAnimosity\u003c\/em\u003e (1985) followed by slightly more overground bangers \u003cem\u003eBlind\u003c\/em\u003e (1991) and \u003cem\u003eDeliverance\u003c\/em\u003e (1994). By the time CORROSION OF CONFORMITY carved off \u003cem\u003eNo Cross No Crown\u003c\/em\u003e nearly a quarter century later, they were legends in their own time, revered by two generations of punk, metal, and rock fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen tragedy struck: In January 2020, Reed Mullin left this earthly plane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt 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. You know: The good stuff.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey started writing. They didn’t stop; not for a long time. In fact, they composed a massive double album. “As we went on, we had such a crazy plethora of songs, it was almost like two different directions,” Pepper says. “We knew we had to split it into two different albums. Then we came up with this concept.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concept happens to be the title of the record. It’s called Good God \/ Baad Man. “Our producer, \u003cstrong\u003eWarren Riker\u003c\/strong\u003e, kept calling it \u003cem\u003eDark Side Of The Doom\u003c\/em\u003e,” 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. \u003cem\u003eGood God\u003c\/em\u003e leans toward the heavier\/pissed end of the spectrum. \u003cem\u003eBaad Man\u003c\/em\u003e is more on the throwdown rock scope. As we went along, it became clear which songs went on which album.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey brought in drummer \u003cstrong\u003eStanton Moore\u003c\/strong\u003e, who played on CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 2005 album, \u003cem\u003eIn The Arms Of God\u003c\/em\u003e. They brought in bassist \u003cstrong\u003eBobby “Rock” Landgraf\u003c\/strong\u003e, who did time with Pepper in New Orleans heavyweights Down when he wasn’t terrorizing the locals in his own band, \u003cstrong\u003eHonky\u003c\/strong\u003e. “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.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band’s first preview of this mammoth offering comes in the form of lead single, '\u003cem\u003eGimme Some Moore\u003c\/em\u003e'. The track features backing vocals from \u003cstrong\u003eMinistry\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cstrong\u003eAl Jourgensen\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMadonna\u003c\/strong\u003e guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eMonte Pittman\u003c\/strong\u003e. The hook of the song is, “Struggle is worth the fight\/Leather, chains and spikes.” “Me and Woody wanted to write a song as if we were 17 years old again,” Pepper explains. “We even made a seven-inch for it.” Said seven-inch, released during their Mexico\/South American tour last month, is an early ‘80s punk throwback, complete with a black and white photo collage and a Fear cover on the flipside. It’s a ripper. The video for '\u003cem\u003eGimme Some Moore\u003c\/em\u003e' was filmed by \u003cstrong\u003eMike Holderbeast\u003c\/strong\u003e and directed by \u003cstrong\u003ePepper Keenan\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nuclear Blast","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":57598859575641,"sku":"SDZ-07447","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Corrosion_Of_Conformity_-_Good_God_-_Baad_Man_-_CD_-_2026.jpg?v=1773839814","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/corrosion-of-conformity-good-god-baad-man","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
