Corrosion Of Conformity still has something to prove on Good God/Baad Man.
Corrosion Of Conformity are known for their wild and dynamic music. Earlier this month, the band released their album, Good God/Baad Man, which is amazing because the album is a double and all 14 tracks gives listeners a taste of a bombastic variety of music. Loud or soft, the album displays the growing creativity the band has in their hearts and hopefully, some people will learn more about them while the music is blaring from their speakers.
Kicking things off is “Good God Final Dawn” and what is really great about this tune is how the instrumentation welcomes listeners to the band’s dark and chaotic world, where music fills the darkness with soul-shaking guitar playing and thunderous drum beats that contribute to the powered metal vibe, while the vocalist yells out the lyrics in pure and raw human emotion. “Good God Final Dawn” is a true head-banger that further proves how musically hungry the band truly is.
Another great ditty is “Bedouin’s Hand” because it is a bit different from the previous tune. The whole thing is instrumental and what is really neat is how the surging guitar solo steals the show with solid riffs that offers a mix of thrash metal, while the stunning drum playing smacks the background with hard-hitting beats that contribute to the deeply moving sound. On any kind of song, vocals are important because it gives listeners a chance to hear the human connection but on “Bedouin’s Hand”, strong emotional feelings can be felt through each guitar riff and drum beat.
Flipping things over is “Baad Man”and what is fantastic is how the composition is a straight-up and in-your-face jammer. Right off the bat, the instrumentation shakes it up with a heavy mix of metal and classic rock, while the vocalist smoothly and harmonically sings out the lyrics. Although metal is mentioned, the music on “Baad Man” sounds more like classic rock thanks to the sizzling guitar and drum playing staying on a simple and catchy tempo.
Changing it up is “Brickman” and unlike the other tunes, this number is softer but still a bit loud due to the electric guitar humming sizzling riffs, while the lovely acoustic guitar playing and light drum playing creates a country western vibe. Also, the vocal performance shines brightly as well because the vocal style flawlessly croons out the human connection of misery and despair. “Brickman” is just another example of how versatile Corrosion Of Conformity are as a band.
Overall, each track on Good God/Baad Man bleeds musical creativity and maturity. There is no doubt that the band’s fan base will enjoy the album just as much. Corrosion Of Conformity have something to prove and they are not afraid to it either.
