CORROSION OF CONFORMITY : The Return of the Mark 5 line-up Live

They're back, yeah it's the long awaited return of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY aka: The Return of the Mark 5 line-up featuring:

Pepper Keenan - vocals, guitar
Woodroe Weatherman - guitar
Mike Dean - bass, vocals
Reed Mullin - drums, vocals

I say long awaited because you've gotta be honest. Call em Southern Sludge, Southern Sabbath or the Pepper Line-up. The fact is that this era of COC was their most successful in terms of popularity. Of course there's always going to be disagreements between longtime fans as to which era of the band they liked the most. The bottom line is this was the line-up where they really broke out onto a world wide audience in the mid-90s. And since they're a Raleigh, NC band, like I always say, ya gotta support a local (unless they're a bunch of hipsters).

In January the band will release No Cross No Crown on Nuclear Blast Records. There's already a lot of pre-release buzz about that record as is expected. CORROSION OF CONFORMITY joins Black Label Society tonight for a mammoth North American live takeover. The tour begins in Denver, Colorado and will wind its way through nearly four dozen cities, the journey coming to a close February 27th, 2018. Additional support will be provided by Eyehategod and Red Fang on select shows. See all confirmed dates below.

Frankly COC could fill any hall or arena all on their own as headliners. I guarantee ya that on this tour bill it'll be them who the crowds (mainstream metal fans) show up for first and foremost. Ever since the news came out that Pepper Keenan was back in the band. The mainstream metal media as a whole took a collective shit in their pants.
