News : Corrosion of Conformity Australian tour supports announced

By on July 8, 2014

corrosion-of-conformity-1024x682Legendary American heavy metal band Corrosion of Conformity will be heading our way this July to promote their brand new album “XI”. Out now via Candlelight Records.

The trio made their mark with an unrelenting live show and signature crushing riffs. In 1985 they released what would become one of the most important heavy crossover records of all time… ANIMOSITY. This unparalleled megalith of an album is hailed by both critics and fans as the ultimate rock/punk/metal mash up. DECIBEL magazine is quoted as calling the release “a crucial stylistic linchpin in the bridge between metal and punk. It irrevocably reshaped crossover’s sonic possibilities”.

After nearly 30 years of musical trail blazing, you would think a rest would be on the agenda. Not the case, the band hasn’t let up the pressure in the slightest. Instead of resting on their laurels, Corrosion Of Conformity hunkered down and cooked up a brand new batch of fire balls for your stereo. Their newest full-length effort (titled “IX”) is set for release this June, just ahead of their ambitious 2014 Australian/NZ tour. This latest dose of masterful and heavy song-craft boasts an extremely raw sound, akin to their decimating live power. Australian and New Zealand fans alike will have the chance to experience the this unstoppable machine, first hand, on stages around their respective countries this July.

ODR Productions, the promotion company presenting the tour have announced the supports for the upcoming tour this July. Tickets on sale now from venues, moshtix and oztix.
