Corrosion Of Conformity Announce Massive Double Album Good God - Baad Man and Unleash New Single 'Gimme Some Moore'

Few bands have shaped the intersection of heavy metal, southern rock and hardcore punk quite like Corrosion Of Conformity. Now, the American heavy music veterans return with one of the most ambitious releases of their long career: a massive double album titled Good God / Baad Man, set for release on April 3 via Nuclear Blast.

The announcement marks the band’s first full-length statement since 2018’s No Cross No Crown, a record that reaffirmed the classic lineup of Pepper Keenan, Woody Weatherman, Reed Mullin and Mike Dean. At that moment, Corrosion Of Conformity stood united once again, four musicians bound by a history that began in Raleigh, North Carolina in the early 1980s and evolved into one of the most respected legacies in American heavy music.

Their early albums, from the raw underground intensity of Eye For An Eye (1984) and Animosity (1985) to the broader impact of Blind (1991) and Deliverance (1994), left an enduring imprint across multiple generations of metal, punk and hard rock fans. By the time No Cross No Crown arrived decades later, the band had already secured its place as a cornerstone of heavy music culture.

Then came a period of profound change. The passing of drummer Reed Mullin in early 2020 marked a deeply emotional turning point for the band. Shortly afterward, bassist Mike Dean departed, leaving Keenan and Weatherman to reassess their path forward. Retreating to Mississippi, the musicians immersed themselves in the sounds that shaped them — from Motörhead and Black Sabbath to Discharge and ZZ Top and began writing with renewed purpose.

What emerged from those sessions was far more expansive than a traditional record. The band ultimately crafted a sprawling collection of material that naturally divided into two distinct sonic directions, giving birth to the concept behind Good God / Baad Man. Conceived as a double album with two complementary identities, the release explores both the heavier, more aggressive side of the band and its groove-driven rock foundation. Each half functions as its own universe, yet together they form a cohesive reflection of Corrosion Of Conformity’s musical DNA.

To complete the lineup, the band enlisted drummer Stanton Moore, who previously appeared on 2005’s In The Arms Of God along with bassist Bobby “Rock” Landgraf, known for his work with Pepper Keenan in Down. The result is a revitalized configuration that honors the band’s legacy while pushing forward with fresh momentum, all while paying tribute to Mullin’s enduring influence.

The first glimpse of this new era arrives with the lead single “Gimme Some Moore,” a high-energy track that captures the band’s classic spirit with renewed urgency. Featuring guest backing vocals from Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and guitarist Monte Pittman, the song channels the raw enthusiasm of the band’s early days while reaffirming their unmistakable identity. Directed by Keenan himself, the accompanying video reflects the stripped-down, no-nonsense aesthetic that has long defined Corrosion Of Conformity.

Produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Warren Riker and recorded across multiple studios in the southern United States, Good God / Baad Man stands as both a tribute to the band’s past and a statement of continued creative vitality. More than four decades into their journey, Corrosion Of Conformity remain a living force, evolving, enduring and still driven by the spirit that first brought them together.

With Good God / Baad Man, the band once again proves that longevity in heavy music is not merely about survival, but about transformation and persistence.
