Corrosion of Conformity (COC) started as a hardcore punk band in 1982 in Raleigh, North Carolina, with original members Reed Mullin on drums, Woody Weatherman on guitar and Mike Dean on bass and vocals. COC were pioneers of the crossover thrash genre in the 1980s. The seeds for Corrosion of Conformity were planted when a 15-year-old Woody Weatherman was taken by his father to a Black Flag concert. Inspired by the gig, he took up guitar after his father gave him an acoustic a few days later. Not being able to make enough noise with it, he traded it in immediately for a Gibson electric. A little while later, Woody met up with high school friend Reed Mullin (who had coincidentally just bought a drum kit) in the sixth grade. They formed a band called No Labels, later changing it to Corrosion of Conformity. In 1982 they started out as a hardcore punk band that played fast aggressive music with political messages. They were all heavily influenced by bands like Minor Threat and Black Flag, Bad Brains, Discharge and Black Sabbath. The band has received acclaim for being—along with Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I. and Cryptic Slaughter—one of the first to merge hardcore and metal where previously in the US, punks and metalheads were notoriously archrivals.

COC recruited Mike Dean on bass and Eric Eycke on vocals and recorded 1983’s ‘Eye for an Eye’. Not long after, Eric Eycke left the band and COC continued on as a trio. Around 1985 they released the ‘Six Songs with Mike Singing’ LP and ‘Animosity’ with Mike Dean on vocals.

Flashback 1994 one of the best shows I had seen at an early age. COC and EYEHATEGOD @ The Howlin Wolf, New Orleans. I remember having some pre- show festivities with Reed Mullins....... Good times!
