Corrosion Of Conformity




After Dean's temporary departure in 1987 and the addition of Karl Agell on vocals, Phil Swisher on bass and Pepper Keenan on rhythm guitar, COC gravitated towards a more straightforward Heavy Metal sound. By 1991's ''Blind'' they had become a heavy metal band.

In 1993, Agell and Swisher left the band, Dean returned and Keenan took over lead vocals. The following year COC signed to Columbia Records , and the release of ''Deliverance'' saw the band move toward Southern metal, a sound that they also carried onto the ''Wiseblood'' and ''America's Volume Dealer'' albums.

COC was nominated for a 1998 of Down , Stanton Moore of Galactic and Jason Patterson, who previously played drums in the Raleigh-based rock band Cry of Love.

In recent years COC has mixed elements of of Metallica contributed vocals to the song "Man or Ash" on ''Wiseblood''; Warren Haynes of the Allman Brothers' Band and Gov't Mule played slide guitar on "Stare Too Long" on ''America's Volume Dealer''; and Stanton Moore of Galactic played drums on ''In The Arms of God''.

Members of COC have also participated in collaborations: Keenan plays guitar with the metal supergroup Down , and Dean contributed vocals to a track titled "Access Babylon" on former Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl's Probot project.
