Corrosion Of Conformity/Eye For An Eye/Candlelight Records/2012 CD Re-Issue Review


  Corrosion  Of  Conformity  are  a  band  that  has  been  around  for  over  30 years  with  the  musical  style  on  this  recording  being  crossover  which  is  a  mixture  of  thrash,  punk,  and  hardcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  1983  album  "Eye  For  An  Eye"  which  was  re-issued  by  Candlelight  Records  during the  year  of  2012  with  the  1985  ep  "Six  Songs  With  Mike  Singing"  being  used  for  the  bonus  tracks.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  strong  and  powerful  sounding  with  heavy  punk/riffing  that  dominates  throughout  the  recording.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  thrash,  hardcore  and  punk  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  raw  and  primitive  sounding  punk/metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  all  punk/hardcore  style  shouting,  while  the  lyrics  cover  political  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it h as  a   very  heavy,  raw  and  primitive  sound  while  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  this  recording.

  In  my  opinion  this  was  a  great  sounding  recording  from  Corrosion  Of  Conformity  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you probably  already  own  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Minds  Are  Confused"  "Rednekkk"  "Poison  Planet"  and  "Eye  For  An  Eye".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
