Corrosion of Conformity - No Cross No Crown [2LP]

Recorded by longtime producer John Custer, 2018's No Cross No Crown is an album that somehow sounds as though no time had passed since 2005's In The Arms Of God. Some of these jams sound like they could've easily been on Wiseblood or Deliverance, two of C.O.C.'s most revered records. The first song the rejuvenated foursome wrote together was "Wolf Named Crow," a hard-knocking rocker with that classic C.O.C. swing. Throughout the album, beefy Southern stompers like "The Luddite," "Little Man" and "Forgive Me" are interspersed with melancholy guitar interludes like "No Cross," "Matre's Diem" and "Sacred Isolation" - just like Sabbath used to do in the '70s.
