Veteran metal band Corrosion of Conformity will release its long-awaited double album, “Good God/Baad Man,” on April 3, 2025, via Nuclear Blast Records. Watch the music video for the new single “Gimme Some Moore” below, and pre-order the album here.
Much has gone down in the COC since its last album. In 2018, when the band released “No Cross No Crown,” the classic COC lineup of Pepper Keenan (vocals, guitar), Woody Weatherman (guitar), Reed Mullin (drums), and Mike Dean (bass) still was going strong. But Mullin died in 2020, and Dean left the band in 2024, leaving Keenan and Weatherman to contemplate their next move. They hunkered down at Keenan’s place in Mississippi, listening to all the music they love: Discharge, ZZ Top, Motörhead, Neil Youn,. Black Sabbath.
The pair started writing and didn’t stop for a long time. Eventually, they had enough music for a double album.
“As we went on, we had such a crazy plethora of songs, it was almost like two different directions,” Keenan said. “We knew we had to split it into two different albums. Then we came up with this concept.”
The concept is the title of the record: “Good God/Baad Man.”
“Our producer, Warren Riker, kept calling it ‘Dark Side of the Doom,’” Keenan said. “In my head, it’s a weird love letter to all things rock ‘n’ roll. We used that for the freedom to go in different directions. Each album is its own tiny universe and has its own identity. ‘Good God’ leans toward the heavier/pissed end of the spectrum. ‘Baad Man’ is more on the throwdown rock scope. As we went along, it became clear which songs went on which album.”
They brought in drummer Stanton Moore, who played on COC’s 2005 album, “In the Arms of God,” and bassist Bobby “Rock” Landgraf, who has played with Keenan in New Orleans supergroup Down when he wasn’t terrorizing the locals in his own band, Honky.
“With a lot of these songs, we’re trying to make Reed Mullin proud,” Keenan said. “He was a badass, and a one-of-a-kind drummer. And the stakes were high.”
The band’s first preview of this offering comes in the form of lead single “Gimme Some Moore.” The track features backing vocals from Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and Madonna guitarist Monte Pittman.
“Me and Woody wanted to write a song as if we were 17 years old again,” Keenan said. “We even made a 7-inch for it.”
Said 7-inch, released during the band’s Mexico/South American tour last month, is an early ‘80s punk throwback, complete with a black-and-white photo collage and a Fear cover on the flipside. The video for “Gimme Some Moore” was filmed by Mike Holderbeast and directed by Pepper Keenan.
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.
The album will be released on digipak CD and digital formats, as well as vinyl in the following color variants:
- Gatefold 2xLP w/ Belly Strip – Black Vinyl (Retail)
- 2 Separate Jacket LPs w/ Belly Strip – LP 1 Blue/LP 2 Red (Mail Order + Band Exclusive)
