In a recent interview with JamBase.com, Moore spoke about his involvement with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY and discussed his contribution to the "In the Arms of God" abum.

"It's hardcore, really," he explained. "It's a killer record and honestly one of the coolest things I've ever been a part of. It's a real roots heavy metal sound, like BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE, LED ZEPPELIN, SKYNYRD." Asked if it was a challenge to play for a hardcore band, since his sound and style is so distinctly funk-infused, he replied. "No, it wasn't hard at all. Before I ever listened to the METERS or COLTRANE, I was listening to BLACK SABBATH. 'Sabotage' was the first record I had when I was 11, so it was real natural to go back to heavy metal. And those guys had a lot of the same influences that I did, like Elvin Jones, Earle Palmer, Bonham. It's pretty fuckin' cool."
