CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Guitarist Comments On 'Animosity' Lineup Reunion

May 14, 2010

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist Woody Weatherman has commented on the reunion of the band's classic "Animosity" lineup — Mike Dean (bass, vocals),Weatherman and Reed Mullin (drums) — and the group's future plans. He said, "Mike Dean, Reed Mullin and I have been writing tunes and jamming. We're gonna do a few shows this summer as a three-piece and probably record as well.

"All four of us [Mike, Reed, Woody and latter-day CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan] have expressed that when the time is right for everyone we'd like to do some more as a four-piece with Pepper.

"Who knows what the future holds, but we plan on having a good time and making good music."

As BLABBERMOUTH.NET previously reported, the "Animosity" lineup of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY has scheduled several early-August shows on the West Coast, although they have not yet been officially announced.

Mike and Reed were most recently members of RIGHTEOUS FOOL, which also featured guitarist Jason Browning (from HR of BAD BRAINS' solo band). That group will apparently stay together and will coexist with the newly reformed CORROSION OF CONFORMITY.

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

Legacy Recordings, Sony Music Entertainment's catalog division, has set a June 1 release date for a new CORROSION OF CONFORMITY best-of collection in the "Playlist" compilation albums series. Entitled "Playlist: The Very Best Of Corrosion Of Conformity", the CD will contain remastered versions of the following songs:

01. Heaven's Not Overflowing
02. Vote With A Bullet
03. Drowning In A Daydream
04. Albatross
05. Clean My Wounds
06. The Land Of Free Disease
07. Buried
08. King Of The Rotten
09. Big Problems
10. Fuel (Jam-Box Tape)
11. Long Whip / Big America
12. Wishbone (Some Tomorrow)
13. The Door
14. My Grain

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. Besides working on four of the band's previous albums, Custer also produced C.O.C. bassist Mike Dean's track on Dave Grohl's PROBOT project and C.O.C.'s contribution to "Nativity In Black", the BLACK SABBATH tribute compilation. Playing drums was New Orleans' Stanton Moore, skinsman for the renowned jazz-funk combo GALACTIC.
