CORROSION OF CONFORMITY Announce U.S. Headlining Tour

Following a short batch of dates with Clutch in December, Raleigh, North Carolina legends CORROSION OF CONFORMITY are pleased to announce a U.S. headlining tour this March. Set to commence on March 1 at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City, the trek will hit 15 cities including two performances at this year's SXSW Music Conference in Austin. The band will be joined by Torche, Valient Thorr and A Storm Of Light.

Commented vocalist/bassist Mike Dean of the upcoming shows: "We think the lineup of music on this tour is really compatible without every band doing the same thing. We're really proud to be on this bill and touring on a new album."

As a precursor to the tour, the band will play one-off show with Hail!Hornet at the Orange Peel in Asheville, North Carolina on January 22. The special performance will coincide with a screening of Slow Southern Steel, the long-anticipated southern metal documentary produced by Rwake vocalist, CT.

Featuring the esteemed Animosity line-up of vocalist/bassist Mike Dean, guitarist Woody Weatherman, and drummer/vocalist Reed Mullin, the album’s release closes a six year recording gap and completes over a year of concentrated writing and recording for the band.

Of course, no Denver. I don't even care about COC much, but I would like to see Torche again and A Storm of Light.

Strange combination of bands...all arguably unique but none of them sound anything like the others. Regardless, I'll be in NYC on March 1st for this. Tickets aren't even on sale yet for that gig, I think.

Adam, I don't really care for COC either, not the stuff they'll be playing on this tour anyway. I like Pepper COC alright, not my favorite band or anything, but good every once in a while. Now Torche I love and have never seen, so I'm going for them. Valient Thorr I caught opening for Pentagram and could care less about. Most interested in finally hearing A Storm Of Light, though. I've heard good things.

Should be an interesting night with the vast differences in sounds.
