Corrosion of Conformity

[The Ozzman]

I think there is a thread on here about the band already, but I can't be fucked to look for it.

Anyway, you can discuss your favorite albums/songs about this band, but I'd like to go in a different direction:

The band's sound has changed dramatically from Animosity (crossover) to In The Arms Of God (Southern/Sludgy type metal). I find it hard to actually figure out what particular sounds/genre each album represents. I sometimes find myself lumping a majority of their albums into 'Sludge' when they should actually be in the 'progressive' or 'southern metal' genres.

I think it's safe to say that Technocracy and Animosity have the crossover sound and Blind is straight thrashy (though some people might debate this)

I will have to go with Wiseblood easily. Deliverance isn't bad either. Haven't really been able to get into the other albums, especially their "crossover" material.

Fantastic band. One thing I like about them is no matter what genre they are playing, be it the early hardcore punk/crossover material or the later southern/slugey stuff, they never sound like their trying to hard to fit into this genre or that genre, it all sounds so natural. Pepper is a really underrated singer, while not the best of all time or whatever, he's got personality in that voice.

You should really check out In The Arms Of God if you haven't already. It's pretty much their magnum opus

Wiseblood is awesome. Deliverance is okay for the most part. I haven't listened to anything else from these guys.

Also, "Man or Ash" is a great song.

You should probably remedy that as soon as possible

Wiseblood seems naturally flowing and rockin. Nothing that I have heard from In The Arms of God has grabbed me the way King of the Rotten, or The Door, or Long Whip/Big America have.

 

[The Ozzman]

Give it a while. It will hit you eventually

Deliverance has always been my favorite. I remember buying that album in 94' right after seeing the vid for "Albatross" on Headbangers Ball and i was hooked.

*bump*

So what genres would their albums fall into right now?

 

[Vimana]

Bumpcore.

I think that C.O.C. was pretty much at the top of their game when they released Blind, some of the stuff after that was really good, but I just keep going back to Blind when I need my C.O.C. fix

 

[The Ozzman]

I'm actually not a huge fan of Blind for whatever reason. I like all CoC albums I've heard except for Blind

To each their own I guess, Blind was my introduction to C.O.C. so that may be one of the reasons, but alot of the tunes on that are above reproach. Guess alot of people can't get the hang of the old singer.
