CORROSION OF CONFORMITY – blind – VINYL 2xLP (black)

Corrosion of Conformity’s Blind was a quantum leap for the Raleigh, NC band who had already been a lynchpin in the American Hardcore, Crossover and Metal movements when they blew their own creative doors wide open. C.O.C.’s first album with current frontman and then-guitarist Pepper Keenan, who voiced the album’s breakthrough single, “Vote With a Bullet”, has remained a classic since its release 30 years ago. Long out of print and highly sought after on vinyl, this 30th anniversary edition (pressed on 180 gram vinyl) not only presents Blind remastered-for-vinyl, it also includes extensive audio and packaging bonuses. That includes nine bonus tracks, some culled from unreleased 1991 and 1988 demo recordings, an oral history detailing the making of the record as well as unpublished sketches and artwork by album artist Bill Sienkewicz (Elektra: Assassin).
