Corrosion of Conformity Live at roadburn 2011 Audio Stream

Please relive C.O.C. live at Roadburn 2011, courtesy of VPRO 3voor12. The audio stream has been mixed by Marcel van der Vondervoort at Torture Garden Studio.

“One band that I definitely WASN’T about to miss, though, were Corrosion of Conformity. I’d never seen COC in their original trio line-up before, but from recent video footage and their 7” on Southern Lord I figured I was in for a treat. I was not wrong. These three guys in their mid-to-late forties rock so much harder and have so much more energy than bands half their age – we’re talking MONSTER chops here. Reed Mullin nails it on drums and vocals and if Mike Dean isn’t THE greatest bass-player in the world right now, I don’t know WHO is. As for Woody Weatherman… well… I could watch that man play guitar ALL FUCKIN’ NIGHT and NEVER get bored. He really makes that guitar sing with that crazy-ass vibrato technique of his.

Ripping through classic hardcore tracks from ‘Animosity’ and ‘Technocracy’, the cheeky scamps even threw in a wee burst of the main riff to ‘Seven Days’, from ‘Deliverance’, as the intro to a new song. Several new songs were played, all firmly within the speedy-hardcore-meets-Sabbath mould that we’ve come to love so much, and much enjoyment was had by band and audience alike. COC come across as your basic classic power trio, and all the classy rock that implies, being fed through the hardcore mincer, and it works WELL. Hell, the boys were on FIRE today. Who needs Pepper Keenan now? Not COC!” – Paul Robertson / The Sleeping Shaman.
