Corrosion Of Conformity – Tour 2026

Alternative metal band featuring Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman returns with new double album “Good God / Baad Man”
Three exclusive German shows in August in Wiesbaden, Cologne, and Berlin
COC are back. And in a big way. Reborn for the last time, one might say. Two years after the release of their acclaimed 2018 album “No Cross, No Crown,” the band had to cope with the tragic loss of their drummer Reed Mullin in 2020 and the departure of bassist Mike Dean. The two remaining members, Pepper Keenan (vocals/guitar) and Woody Weatherman (guitar), were thus forced to reinvent the band, writing tons of songs and finding new collaborators in Stanto Moore (drums) and Bobby “Rock” Landgraf (bass). The result of this newfound creativity is a double album titled “Good God / Baad Man,” which Corrosion Of Conformity will now present live to their German fans at three dates in Wiesbaden, Cologne, and Berlin.

The band rose to fame in the mid-eighties with underground classics like “Eye for an Eye” (1984) and “Animosity” (1985), followed in the early nineties by more mainstream-oriented hits such as “Blind” (1991) and “Deliverance” (1994). With a discography of ten studio albums and one live album, COC have achieved legendary status and are cultishly revered by two generations of punk, metal, and rock fans. In 2018, they released “No Cross, No Crown,” an album that showcased the band still at the top of their game. And incidentally, it underscored that the tried-and-tested COC lineup of Pepper Keenan (vocals/guitar), Woody Weatherman (guitar), Reed Mullin (drums), and Mike Dean (bass) resembled a community of four brothers who, over the years, had grown from a gang of straggling teenage punks into a successful band family. The tragic loss of their drummer Reed Mullin in 2020, followed shortly after by the departure of bassist Mike Dean, was all the more devastating.

Keenan and Weatherman initially withdrew, listened to music together, and began writing a lot of new songs. They brought Stanton Moore on board as their new drummer, who had already played on COC’s 2005 album “In the Arms of God.” Bobby “Rock” Landgraf, who had played with Pepper in the New Orleans legends Down, was recruited for bass. “With many of these songs, we’re trying to make Reed Mullin proud,” says Pepper. Produced by Grammy winner Warren Riker (Fugees, Down, Cathedral) and featuring cover artwork by renowned New Orleans artist Scott Guion, “Good God / Baad Man” was recorded at Blak Shak Studios in Riffissippi, USA, Dockside Studios in Maurice, Louisiana, and – believe it or not – at Bee Gee Barry Gibb’s home studio in Miami.
