Which is the connection between Corrosion of Conformity and the disco icons Bee Gees?
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY has finished recording the guitar tracks for their highly anticipated new album, the follow-up to 2018’s “No Cross No Crown”. The recording sessions took place at a private studio in Miami, Florida, which is owned by BEE GEES legend Barry Gibb.
On Sunday (July 20), CORROSION OF CONFORMITY posted a photo of frontman Pepper Keenan alongside Barry Gibb at the studio, accompanied by the message:
“Beer drinkers and free thinkers… Just a heads-up—we’ve just wrapped up tracking guitars in a truly special place… Here’s the deal… We were diggin around in the underground and fell upon an outing by a band called [KILL THE ROBOT] , the production caught our ear immediately as did the songs …clicked a lil deeper n’ realized it was our dear friend Stephen Gibb’s [Barry Gibb’s son, who has previously played with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and CROWBAR] new outing… and was recorded and produced by [Warren Riker], another ol’ friend who recorded the orginal ‘Stare Too Long’ and produced two [DOWN] records … Didn’t take long to start puttin the pieces together. Couple of texts and phone calls and we got the ultimate invitation… Come record at my father’s place , where Warren and Stephen had built a dream studio. We stole the gas money and loaded the U haul n’ headed to Miams.. We’re goin to @officialbarrygibb of the friggin BEE GEES !! What followed next is way too epic to share…. but it took us to another level. We are forever grateful for sharing your world with us… never in our youth did we think we would be here tracking, and having Barry share his most prized instruments .. aka the Staying Alive Strat !!.. No Jive Talkin… We are humbled and definitely thank you Barry Gibb, Stephen Gibb and Warren Riker…
Stay tuned! The new COC record is a monster!!
“We love you all…
“See yall next tour with Alice (Cooper])and the mighty (JUDAS) PRIEST”.
