Watch CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s “You Or Me” video HERE.
“You Or Me” is the latest single from American heavy metal icons CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. The crushing new track comes off the band’s mammoth new double album, Good God / Baad Man, set for release on April 3rd via Nuclear Blast and is accompanied by a video created by acclaimed visual arts icon Costin Chioreanu with additional footage filmed by Mike Holderbeast.
“With ‘You Or Me,’ CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are back at the top of their game. This blistering, Sabbed out track is an angry acid trip into the origins of the human condition since the dawn of man. In these primitive times, it’s clear to say they haven’t learned much. So Black it’s Blue.” – Lucifer
Adds the band, “Deep from within the forests of Romania and the twisted mind of our dear friend Costin Chioreanu comes his twisted visions put to CORROSION’s music. It’s a match made in purgatory. There’s some special additions from [director] Mike Holderbeast’s crew as well.”

Last month, CORROSION OF CONFORMITY introduced Good God / Baad Man with their debut single, “Gimme Some Moore.” The track features backing vocals from Ministry’s Al Jourgensen as well as Madonna guitarist Monte Pittman. Wrote Revolver upon first listen, “CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are doubling down on their unique brand of heaviness this year… with the release of a Southern-sludgy barnburner… ‘Gimme Some Moore’ is apparently on the pissed-off first LP.” Consequence concurred noting, “The track is a throwback to COC’s punk era in the ’80s, barreling forward as Pepper Keenan delivers grizzled lead vocals,” while MetalSucks championed, “an absolute ass stomper. Riff on riff on riff. The drums, handled by the great Stanton Moore, are pounding and drive the whole shebang forward, and the solo’s a ripper. Pepper doesn’t sound like he’s lost a step at all since the release of 2018’s No Cross No Crown. It really does feel like a continuation of In The Arms Of God – which absolutely fucking rules.”

More on CORROSION OF CONFORMITY:
Much has gone down in the CORROSION OF CONFORMITY universe since their last album smacked us upside the head. Back in 2018, when No Cross No Crown dropped like a rock ‘n’ roll atom bomb, the tried-and-true CORROSION OF CONFORMITY lineup of Pepper Keenan (vocals, guitar), Woody Weatherman (guitar), Reed Mullin (drums), and Mike Dean (bass) was still going strong. Four brothers united in a decades-long history kicked off by a roving pack of teenage punks in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1982.
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s first four albums left a permanent mark on headbangers, longhairs, and street punks everywhere: Underground classics Eye For An Eye (1984) and Animosity (1985) followed by slightly more overground bangers Blind (1991) and Deliverance (1994). By the time CORROSION OF CONFORMITY carved off No Cross No Crown nearly a quarter century later, they were legends in their own time, revered by two generations of punk, metal, and rock fans.
Then tragedy struck: In January 2020, Reed Mullin left this earthly plane. It was a devastating blow, both personally and professionally. How do you replace a brother? You can’t. All you can do is soldier on in his memory. Which is what the rest of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY did – until COVID-19 shut down the globe. Then Mike Dean decided to go his own way. It was an amicable split, but it left Pepper and Woody to contemplate their next move. They hunkered down at Keenan’s place in Mississippi, listening to all the music they love. Discharge. ZZ Top. Motörhead. Neil Young. Black Sabbath.
They started writing. They didn’t stop; not for a long time. In fact, they composed a massive double album. “As we went on, we had such a crazy plethora of songs, it was almost like two different directions,” Pepper says. “We knew we had to split it into two different albums. Then we came up with this concept.”
The concept happens to be the title of the record. It’s called Good God / Baad Man. “Our producer, Warren Riker, kept calling it Dark Side Of The Doom,” recalls Pepper. “In my head, it’s a weird love letter to all things rock ‘n’ roll. We used that for the freedom to go in different directions. Each album is its own tiny universe and has its own identity. Good God leans toward the heavier/pissed end of the spectrum. Baad Man is more on the throwdown rock scope. As we went along, it became clear which songs went on which album.”
They brought in drummer Stanton Moore, who played on CORROSION OF CONFORMITY’s 2005 album, In The Arms Of God. They brought in bassist Bobby “Rock” Landgraf, who did time with Pepper in New Orleans heavyweights Down when he wasn’t terrorizing the locals in his own band, Honky. “With a lot of these songs, we’re trying to make Reed Mullin proud,” Pepper says. “He was a badass, and a one-of-a-kind drummer. And the stakes were high.”
