There is so much music to choose from anymore, and with all the streaming platforms, it is impossible to hear it all. So when you find a band that hits the feels as a favorite and keeps pushing that favorites button over and over, release after release, it is something really special. Corrosion of Conformity is one of those bands for this writer, and the upcoming album, Good God/Baad Man, is another smash of the button, and it is coming out April 3rd, 2026. The most interesting part of this release isn’t even that it is a double album; it is the recognition of the decades of styles throughout their discography. They do a fantastic job of conveying the broader scale of their history and a sense of homage to those they lost along the way, both metaphysically and physically, from the band itself.
Corrosion of Conformity began in 1982 in North Carolina. They have had a few member changes along the way, from shifting vocalists to losing their longtime drummer Reed Mullin to a too-soon death, and then longtime bassist Mike Dean departed from the band in 2024, leaving two spots to fill. Pepper Kennan (vocalist, rhythm guitar) and Woody Weatherman (lead guitar, backing vocals) brought on Bobby Landgraf on bass and Nick Shabatura on drums in 2026, and the album Good God/Baad Man came fully together.
Bobby was kind enough to sit down with Metal Nation and discuss this release as well as his history in music.
