Corrosion of Conformity Unveil Double Album, 'Good God / Baad Man'

Veteran metal outfit Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) has announced the imminent release of their long-awaited double studio album, Good God / Baad Man, set to drop on April 3. Fans can now explore the full tracklist, view the distinctive cover art, and experience the album's powerful lead single, Gimme Some More. Pre-orders for the expansive project are available through Nuclear Blast.

Frontman Pepper Keenan shed light on the album's unique structure, explaining that the band amassed "a crazy plethora of songs" that naturally diverged into two distinct musical paths. This creative abundance led to the decision to craft a double album, each disc possessing its own identity. Keenan revealed that producer Warren Riker playfully dubbed the project "Dark Side Of The Doom," while Keenan himself views it as "a weird love letter to all things rock 'n' roll," offering the freedom to explore varied directions. He clarified that Good God leans towards a heavier, more aggressive sound, whereas Baad Man embraces a "throwdown rock" sensibility.

This release marks C.O.C.'s first full-length effort since 2018's No Cross No Crown and their initial offering since the passing of founding drummer Reed Mullin in 2020. The current lineup features Keenan and founding lead guitarist Woody Weatherman, joined by bassist Bobby Landgraf and drummer Stanton Moore. Moore, renowned for his work with Galactic and diverse projects, previously contributed to C.O.C.'s critically acclaimed 2005 album, In the Arms of God.

Looking ahead, C.O.C. has outlined a comprehensive touring schedule for 2026, including headline performances and support slots for Clutch. The coming year also promises to be exceptionally busy for Keenan, with reports indicating that Down, his supergroup with Philip Anselmo, has completed their first new album since 2014, anticipated for release this fall.
