Backstage with Corrosion of Conformity: Pepper Keenan, Woody Weatherman & Bobby Landgraf on Good God/Baad Man | Ep. 33

Host Beau sat down backstage at The Roxy at Mahalls in Lakewood,

Ohio with Pepper Keenan, Woody Weatherman, and Bobby Landgraf of

Corrosion of Conformity hours before their May 10th show for a

half-hour deep dive into Good God / Baad Man — out now on

Nuclear Blast Records.

Topics covered: why the album sounds like a COC greatest hits

record and why that was intentional, the heavy underground surge

of 2026, how Stanton Moore's drumming caused Pepper to rewrite

60% of his lyrics, the double album concept and why it was fully

sequenced before they turned the amps on, the hidden Mississippi

writing retreat with no clock and no hotel, recording with no

isolation or control room with mattresses against cabinets,

Warren Riker replacing John Custer after his severe tinnitus

diagnosis, drums and bass tracked live to tape at Dockside Studio

in Maurice Louisiana, guitar at Barry Gibb's private studio, the

six-foot oil painting by Scott Guion made during the sessions,

Bobby Landgraf locking in with Stanton on bass, recording at

Electric Lady Studios for Deliverance and Wise Blood with

Superunknown engineer Jason Cassaro, human music vs AI, demo

tracks and cassette vocals that made the final record, Handcuff

County in one live take, Lose Yourself on radio everywhere,

Brickman with brushes for the first time on a COC record,

shoeboxes of unreleased material and Electric Lady cassette

tapes still intact, and plans for Part 2.

Good God / Baad Man out now on Nuclear Blast Records.
