Corrosion Of Conformity - Sign With Candlelight Records
Candlelight Records press release
Candlelight Records today proudly announces the worldwide signing of Corrosion Of Conformity. Since early this year, the band - featuring the esteemed Animosity line-up of vocalist/bassist Mike Dean, guitarist Woody Weatherman, and drummer/vocalist Reed Mullin - has been working with long-time producer John Custer. Now nearly complete, their still untitled eighth studio album is planned for release early in the new year. Gathering last summer to jam as a trio for the first time in over a decade, the treasured threesome quickly rekindled the magic that originally united and ultimately bound the musicians on a journey that today continues to impress both fans and critics. It is the efforts of this line-up that Decibel Magazine recently called "a crucial stylistic lynchpin in the bridge between metal and punk. Corrosion of Conformity irrevocably reshaped crossover's sonic possibilities." AllMusic.com notes, "Corrosion Of Conformity weren't following any trends. They just incorporated all the things they liked about thrash, punk and '70s metal originators Black Sabbath into their constantly evolving sound. It secured them artistic and commercial credibility."
Candlelight's Steve Beatty says of the signing: "Animosity is one of my favourite records ever. To have Corrosion Of Conformity on Candlelight with that line-up is simply mouth watering. I saw the band in London recently and they did not disappoint. This hungry child can't wait for the record." Candlelight's Edward Christie adds: "we are extremely excited to welcome the band to the label and are looking forward to an amazing album. We are all huge fans and this is truly a memorable day for all of us." The band shares the excitement the immediate future holds. Woody Weatherman comments: "writing and recording this new record as a three-piece has been a blast. Having Reed back in the fold with Mike and I brings it around full circle. I'm really looking forward to all that lies ahead this upcoming year."
Reed Mullen adds: "Mike, Woody and I essentially learned how to play music together and cultivated our own style, sound, and unspoken language. Re-bonding with them musically has been the greatest thing that's ever happened to me." In addition to intense work on the album, Corrosion Of Conformity has kept busy in 2011 touring throughout the US and abroad. One of the main attractions at this year's Maryland Death Festival, the band mesmerized a salivating capacity audience. Sean Palmerston, editor for Canada's online magazine Hellbound, said: "I lapped this set up. It was like the tastiest comfort food after a hard day's work. I haven't listened to those classic Corrosion Of Conformity albums in a long, long time. It put a smile on my face."
