CORROSION OF CONFORMITY: Double album Good God / Baad Man is out via Nuclear Blast!

We officially present Good God / Baad Man, the monumental new double album from American heavy metal icons CORROSION OF CONFORMITY!

"...it's definitely COC's most ambitious album to date, both in terms of length and material," writes Decibel Magazine in its latest article about the band. "It literally spans the full breadth of what the band can do, from raging punk ('Gimme Some Moore') to Southern stoner rock ('You Or Me') to melancholic acoustic Americana ('Brickman'), and maybe even venturing into some new territory (gospel doom 'Forever Amplified'). This is COC in 2026, fronted by two musicians geographically separated but united by a shared love of the almighty riff and sustain inheritance..."

Rock Hard Germany concurs, "stylistically speaking, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s distinctive sonic blend has never been easy to pin down, as too many influences surface within the quartet’s material. From Southern rock and hardcore to sludge and doom – anything that was fun was fair game – and the double album Good God / Baad Man is, of course, no exception; rather, it pushes the quartet’s penchant for experimentation to the absolute limit... Good God / Baad Man is a ‘Gesamtkunstwerk’ – a total work of art – whose multifaceted nature defies easy categorization, yet draws the listener in with an intensity that is all the more profound."

Blabbermouth gushes, "Best experienced in its languorous, lawless entirety, Good God / Baad Man is by far the most immersive and free-spirited album that CORROSION OF CONFORMITY have ever made. It is also wired to the tits on the same feral, moonshine spirit that has propelled this band through more than four decades of road-hogging commitment to the hard rock cause. Whether you discovered this band through their early days as hardcore firebrands, during their major label '90s halcyon days, or at any other point along their unique story, this demands to be played as loud as possible and savored like a gift from the gods."

Adds Metal Addicts, "Sonically, there’s a lot of ground covered. Heavy riffs, mid-tempo grooves, touches of grunge in the vein of Soundgarden, and little details that give it personality – samples, cowbell, and textures that keep things interesting without ever feeling overproduced… What’s most impressive is how natural it all feels. This isn’t a band chasing their past or trying to recreate a specific era. They’ve kept the core COC DNA intact, but they’ve expanded on it— refined the groove, tightened the low end, and let the songs breathe in a way that feels earned."

Produced by Grammy award winner Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, Cathedral) and featuring cover art by famed New Orleans artist Scott Guion, Good God / Baad Man was recorded at Blak Shak Studios in Riffissippi, USA, Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, and Bee Gee Barry Gibb’s home studio in Miami, Florida.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY will return to stages next week on a North American headlining tour with support provided by Whores and Crobot. The journey begins with a pair of headlining shows on April 7th and April 8th in Atlanta and Greensboro respectively, with Whores. From there, the band will head to Sayreville on April 9th to join Clutch for a run of dates through May 3rd in Asheville (with additional support by JD Pinkus). CORROSION OF CONFORMITY reconvenes with Whores on May 5th in Toronto and May 6th in Montreal with Crobot joining the caravan for all remaining dates through May 16th in New Orleans.

In June, the band will head to Europe and the United Kingdom for another run of live shows before returning to North America in July for the second leg of their headlining tour with Whores and Crobot. In August, they’ll pillage the European festival circuit with more dates to be announced in the weeks to come.
