5/15/2023 0 Comments Coc coc browser reviewExhibit A: the two-minute punk rocker “Denmark Vesey,” the band is on fire. Oddly, this rejuvenated Corrosion lineup seems to excel at more uptempo material. I’ve been a fan of this band for 20 years, and this is the first time I’ve made it two tracks into their new album and just said “meh.” Follow-up “Elphyn”‘s first riff sounds a lot like “Brand New Sleep”‘s last riff, giving the first 11 minutes on the record a somewhat monotonous feel. It’s not a bad track necessarily, but it’s certainly not deserving of the opening slot on a COC record. Opener “Brand New Sleep” occupies that nebulous area between “doom” and just “slow”, and takes its sweet-ass time getting anywhere interesting. Just two short years later, COC is back again with their 9th album, creatively titled IX. The band’s original trio reconvened in 2010 and embarked on heavy-duty touring, followed by 2012’s excellent self-titled LP and the hastily-assembled Megalodon EP for Scion A/V. Considering that the band was left for dead after 2005’s In The Arms Of God, North Carolina’s Corrosion of Conformity has been on a fucking roll these last few years.
