About the Artist

Corrosion of Conformity, often abbreviated as C.O.C., are a band that needs little introduction to true aficionados of heavy music. Formed in Raleigh, North Carolina, back in 1982, they have navigated the ever-shifting landscape of rock and metal with remarkable tenacity and artistic integrity. Their sound is a potent concoction, drawing from hardcore punk roots, infused with sludgy, bluesy Southern rock, and a healthy dose of classic heavy metal. Over their illustrious career, they've released a string of critically acclaimed albums, each showcasing their evolving yet consistently powerful musical vision. From their early, more aggressive material to their later, groove-laden anthems, C.O.C. have always maintained a distinctive voice. Fronted by the inimitable Pepper Keenan, whose distinctive vocal style and searing guitar work are central to the band's appeal, and bolstered by the formidable rhythm section and fellow guitarists, C.O.C. deliver live performances that are nothing short of electrifying. Their live shows are renowned for their intensity, passion, and the sheer, unadulterated power of their performance, making them a must-see act for anyone who appreciates genuine, no-nonsense rock and roll.
