CORROSION OF CONFORMITY In the Arms of God (2023) LP Vinyl RSD

In the Arms of God is the sound of a band that had nothing left to prove deciding to prove it anyway. COC in 2005 were operating somewhere between southern rock cathedral and pure sludge demolition, and this record is the proof.

The Pepper Keenan era of Corrosion of Conformity is where the band went from cult crossover act to something heavier and more atmospheric, closer to Down than to their hardcore origins without ever fully leaving them behind. In the Arms of God is the last album before the long hiatus, and it carries that weight, big riffs, road-worn grooves, the kind of metal that takes its time because it knows you're not going anywhere. Clear vinyl with a white swirl pressed for RSD 2023 makes this one worth hunting down even if you already own the original.
