Pepper Keenan recalls Metallica's generosity while C.O.C. ramps up the heavy metal assault with new visuals and a relentless touring schedule.

In a blistering twist of fate, Corrosion of Conformity's Pepper Keenan recently reminisced about the band's glory days when they had the honor of opening for the titans of thrash, Metallica, back in the '90s. As if the gods of metal smiled upon them, Hetfield and crew ensured the boys from North Carolina could withstand the grueling tour grind, setting the stage for C.O.C.'s relentless rise through the heavy metal ranks.

But that's not all—C.O.C. has unleashed a brand new video for their track 'Baad Man,' the fiery opener of their critically acclaimed double album, Good God / Baad Man, which dropped in April via Nuclear Blast. The gritty video, a nocturnal masterpiece crafted by the visionary duo of Jeffrey Sisson and Jason Cantu, was filmed under the cover of darkness in Kansas City, capturing the raw essence of life on the road.

“Well, well, well… Here comes the man with the fists on fire. I think they ‘bout to turn him loose! Lemme hear ya saaaayyy…!” Keenan exclaims, igniting the spirit of metal with his unmistakable energy. The album itself, produced by Grammy-winning legend Warren Riker, is a sonic juggernaut featuring artwork from the iconic Scott Guion, and was meticulously recorded across various legendary studios, including the infamous Blak Shak Studios in Riffissippi, USA.

Good God / Baad Man is available in several formats, from digipak CD to vibrant vinyl color variants. The tracklisting is a testament to their craftsmanship, featuring tracks like “Good God? / Final Dawn” and “Asleep On The Killing Floor,” which showcases their evolution while firmly anchoring them in the heavy metal genre.

Currently, C.O.C. has returned to North America for the second leg of their headlining tour alongside Whores and Crobot, following a victorious European stint. Fans are urged to grab their tickets at COC.com and witness the band live as they tear through cities like Denver, Lincoln, and making their mark at the legendary Aftershock festival in October.
