Corrosion of Conformity (or "C.O.C" as they're often
known) took shape
in the early '80s in North Carolina. Their sound changed time and time
again and eventually matured into something a bit more complex. It
changed so much that
critics at times had trouble categorizing the band. They weren't
exactly alternative, but they weren't exactly hardcore metal. Whatever
they were,
critics liked it, especially their 1991 effort, Blind. A few more
albums would follow before the band would start to take some extended
breaks, where in only 2 albums would be released between 1997 and 2007.
Though
their output has slowed a bit, C.O.C still has the element of
surprise that made them a force to reckon with in the early '90s. With
over 2 decades of material under their belt, it's not hard to find
something you'll enjoy; their early
days, if you're craving hardcore head-banging metal, or their
creatively-infused 'mature' 90s
material if you like your metal complex. Wherever you start, you'll
find yourself listening to more then just one song. This band
has a tendency to pull you in and get you listening!
