Candlelight Records, together with partners Decibel Magazine and Pitchfork Media, today premiere songs from the forthcoming new album from\u00a0CORROSION OF CONFORMITY<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Produced by John Custer, the self-titled album is the first new recording from the North Carolina-based band in six years and is the first to feature material written by the esteemedAnimosity<\/em>\u00a0trio in over a decade.<\/p>\n

Available now for listening, Decibel Magazine is streaming \u201cThe Doom\u201d while Pitchfork Media is streaming the album\u2019s closer \u201cTime Of Trials.\u201d Each song showcases the band\u2019s unique sound and continued commitment to diversity. Guitarist Woody Weatherman says, \u201c\u2026too much pork for just one fork,\u201d when discussing the unusual two-song launch. \u201cI like the idea of having two tunes premiering at the same time,\u201d he continues. Vocalist\/bassist Mike Dean notes, \u201cI slipped in a rough form of \u2018The Doom\u2019 on Full Metal Jackie\u2019s radio program back in early November. This is now the official premiere in its finished form. And with Pitchfork playing \u2018Time Of Trials,\u2019 we are excited and await fan reactions.\u201d<\/p>\n

England\u2019s Metal Hammer, in celebration of today\u2019s premieres, launched a special\u00a0CORROSION OF CONFORMITY\u00a0<\/strong>video via their online television channel that includes both songs and a pictorial of the band with information about the forthcoming album. Check it out at\u00a0THIS LOCATION<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 11-song self-titled album is the result of a year of non-stop work by the band which includes their most recent East Coast run of dates with friends Clutch and filming of a new video this past weekend. Weatherman confirms, \u201cThe video is for the song \u2018The Money Changers\u2019 and all I can say is bankers, cops, and even Jesus himself makes an appearance.\u201d Filmmakers Bradley Scott and Charles Cardello (Bifocal Pictures) were, \u201cvery taken with the location, in particular the hallways at our rehearsal space which have accumulated about 25 years of graffiti making everything look like a dark crack den,\u201d recalls Dean. \u201cAs coincidence would have it, the repainting of the interior was scheduled for the very days we scheduled to shoot,\u201d Dean says. \u201cThat was cool, as the \u2018urban\u2019 look of aerosol art is a bit overplayed at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY<\/strong>\u00a0has already launched exclusive, pre-order bundles that include limited band-direct items plus the deluxe digipak version of the record (featuring extended packaging and two additional songs) and the American vinyl pressing. To celebrate today\u2019s premieres, Candlelight has launched via the official label webstore each of the four planned formats for the record plus a webstore exclusive.

CORROSION OF CONFORMITY<\/strong>\u00a0will perform next at The Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina before heading out on their recently announced headline tour beginning March 1. The band plans a set that will include many of the new album\u2019s choice cuts as well selections from their earlier albums. \u201c\u2018Your Tomorrow,\u2019 \u2018Rat City,\u2019 and \u2018The Doom\u2019 all got great response while we were out with Clutch for a brief wintery outing,\u201d says Dean. \u201cThe new songs are noggin\u2019 nodders and seemed to fit in very well with our older classics,\u201d adds Weatherman. \u201cFolks were having a good time which is what it is all about,\u201d he confirms.<\/p>\n

Corrosion Of Conformity<\/em>\u00a0will be released via Candlelight Records on February 14 in North America; a day earlier for Europe. Confirmed dates on the band\u2019s upcoming North American tour with Torche, Valient Thorr, A Storm Of Light are below.<\/p>\n
