Deliverance

Corrosion Of Conformity's fourth full-length studio album, and first both on a bigger record label and with guitarist Pepper Keenan on vocals, is by all accounts a classic album, containing some of the band's biggest songs and making up a large part of their live set even to this day. Deliverance saw the band move far away from their hardcore punk and cross over Thrash roots, and move into a territory of big, wide, Sabbath inspired songs, Southern leanings and a retro-feel that was paradoxically the modern thing at the time, when both alternative metal and stoner rock were starting to pick up followings. There is some variety to be found here too, such as in the brief acoustic number `Without Wings,' and the slide guitar filled, haunting southern ballad `Shelter,' both of which help elevate the album above the crowd and display the bands musicality in addition to the raw rock energy that comes across on the rest of the tracks. Pepper Keenan's vocals are excellent here, at times evoking a mixture of Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie Von Zant and James Hetfield. The guitar and bass work is top notch as always, with big riffs being par for the course as well as the excellent drums from Reed Mullin that are tight, nuanced and 70s influenced. Highlights include `Broken Man' as well as the big singles `Albatross' and `Clean My Wounds,' and lastly the subtly menacing album closer `Pearls Before Swine,' which perfectly treads the line between slow, brooding, spacey stoner rock and a big loud groove metal track. Overall; Deliverance features that powerful, indefinable `classic album' x-factor in spades. Any serious fan of the band will no doubt be familiar with the record and it is a perfect starting point for any potential new fans.

Fanastic album one of their best

If you don't like this album you don't like good music this is a fact look it up

Possibly the most laid back heavy album ever, this album seeps guitars that drift from solid metal to blues to an almost latino style of riffs. The vocal harmonies are haunting, bringing out the sort of album that I'd catagorise as a thinking mans rock. Listening to the album, you can imagine sitting out on a porch amongst a swampy landscape, blasting out your blues rock with not a care in the world. It's one of those albums that demand a second listen. Definetly an album you'll find yourself returning to time and time again as the years pass by.

Excellent music, love every track which is very unusual.

killer!

I bought this album after seeing the band on TV playing 'Albatross' and came completely hooked. Dark, heavy, bluesy, southern stoner rock is how it should described. Great album from a great band.

Os anos 90 foram bons pra bandas. No meio de tantas bandas ruins tocando o maldito New Metal, uma banda com um som calcado no poderoso Black Sabbath não teria como não dar certo. Altamente indicado para fans de Stoner.

War auf dem Corrosoion-of-Confomity-Debüt „Eye for an Eye“ noch Hardcore zu hören, so hatte sich dieser auf dem vierten Album „Deliverance“ aus dem Jahr 1994 schon gänzlich verabschiedet. Hier passt am ehesten die Bezeichnung Southern Metal, welcher Spuren von Doom und Blues enthält. Damit ging die Band aus dem US-Bundesstaat North Carolina nicht nur rockiger, sondern auch zugänglicher zur Sache als auf den älteren Werken. Bemerkenswert ist zudem die hervorragende, druckvolle Produktion, die man so auch heute noch problemlos anbieten könnte. Einst nannte ich das 2000er „America’s Volume Dealer“, wenn es um mein liebstes Album von Corrosion of Conformity ging. Mittlerweile lautet die Antwort allerdings ganz klar „Deliverance“, das ich leider viel zu spät für mich entdeckt habe. Doch wie das ausgelutschte Sprichwort sagt: Besser spät als nie.

One of COC s greatest cds. I love it!
