November 18, 2011

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY has finished mixing its new album at Dave Grohl's 606 Studios in Northridge, California and is currently mastering the effort for an early 2012 release via Candlelight Records.

In other news, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY vocalist/bassist Mike Dean will debut some of the band's new music on this this weekend's (November 18-20) edition of Full Metal Jackie's nationally syndicated radio show.

Since early this year, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY featuring the esteemed "Animosity" lineup of vocalist/bassist Mike Dean, guitarist Woody Weatherman, and drummer/vocalist Reed Mullin has been working with long-time producer John Custer. Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "River Of Stone", "Psychic Vampire", "Leeches", "Rat City", "The Moneychangers" and "What We Become".

When asked if fans can expect any big changes to the band's sound, Dean told AOL's Noisecreep, "What's new is what was old. It's the three piece lineup from 'Animosity'. While we're not focusing on recreating that sound deliberately, there are some fast tempos and aggressive riffs but it's a reflection of where we're at today."

Regarding what the impetus was for wanting to record again, Dean said, "The impetus was rockers make rock and we were sitting home, busy with other shit, not making any rock, so it was time to take back the means of expression and express ourselves. It was our intention to come out with a new collection of songs last year when we started playing out again. We came out of the box playing a few of them and gradually accumulated enough to record a very good album."

He added, "My head space personally is one of trying to maintain some even-keeled excitement as we go into mixing this album. We have some work that we're really proud of and we just need to allow it to come together without over-thinking it. It's also one of gratitude to have the change to do this one more time. Whether any one gives a sshit or not, I firmly believe this will be among our best records."

Mullin co-founded CORROSION OF CONFORMITY in 1982 as a hardcore punk act alongside Weatherman and Dean before leaving the band in 2001 amidst health concerns.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY's latest album, "In the Arms of God", came out in 2005 on Sanctuary Records. The group's first collection of new material since 2000's "America's Volume Dealer" was produced by C.O.C.'s longtime collaborator John Custer.
