Bereits Anfang der 1980er-Jahre gegründet, sind Corrosion Of Conformity nach diversen Personalwechseln und längeren Auszeiten immer noch im Rennen. 2019 hatte die Band aus North Carolina etwas zu feiern: Ihr genreprägendes Album „Deliverance“ wurde 25 Jahre alt.
Zwei Konstanten gibt es im Schaffen von Corrosion Of Conformity. Die erste: Das Personalkarussell dreht sich bei der Südstaaten-Band immer besonders schnell; es herrschte im Laufe der Karriere ein ständiges Kommen, Gehen und Wiederkommen. Die zweite Konstante: Noch zu Schülerzeiten gegründet, hatten die Musiker durch die Jahre hindurch keinerlei Berührungsängste mit anderen Genres und Szenen. So sahen sie beispielsweise Metal und Punk nie als gegensätzliche Musikrichtungen an, die man nicht vereinen kann. Im Gegenteil: Sie hängten sich rein und versuchten, beides Styles auf einen musikalischen Nenner zu bringen.
Corrosion Of Conformity drücken und drängeln Hardcore Punk, Metal und Stoner Rock in ihren oftmals angriffslustigen, schnellen Sound, den sie konsequent mit politischen Texten kombinieren. Zeit ihrer Karriere positioniert sich die Band mit klaren Statements gegen Nationalismus und Rechtskonservatismus; zudem engagierte sie sich unter anderem bei Greenpeace und amnesty international.
2019 hatten Corrosion Of Conformity etwas zu feiern. „Deliverance“, ihr genreprägendes Album, wurde 25 Jahre alt. Auf dem Werk vereinen sich Momente des Grunge mit dem Spirit von Black Sabbath, und Corrosion Of Conformity klemmen ihre Southern vibes wuchtig dazwischen. Im Rahmen des „Freak Valley“-Festivals 2019 brachte die Band die Songs des Albums frisch wie eh und je auf die Bühne. Dabei zeigte sie, dass sich nicht nur das so groovige wie zackige „Clean My Wounds“ bestens gehalten hat.

Thanks for uploading....Mike D one of the most overlooked and underrated Punk/Hardcore bass players in the game. Still rock like bats outta hell.

Incredible to watch this concert. I feel 18 again. COC still kicks ass.

[josephkozlowski]

Took my 13yo son to his first concert. COC. opened for Black Label Society in 2018. I was going anyway so I took him. We left a bit early I had to work the next day. We go into the lobby if the Fillmore in Detroit and there's Pepper. Just hanging at the merch table. I was fanboy like a mf ucker. He talked to me and my son for awhile. Took pictures. I'm still so glad it was my sons first show and met my boy Pepper. Was a complete gentleman. Rock on COC.

[bimscutney]

Saw these guys at The Icon in Buffalo like in ‘91 or ‘92 I think. They were opening for the Rollins Band. Great show.
