Special 30th Anniversary Edition of Corrosion of Conformity's landmark album, originally released in 1991.

It's hard to swallow the notion that it's been 30 years since Corrosion of Conformity released their landmark LP, 'Blind'. By '91, the Raleigh North Carolina upstarts were already known for alloying the intensity of hardcore with the heaviness of Black Sabbath, but no one could have predicted what was next. 'Blind' was that watershed in a pre-grunge explosion; part of the gathering storm of like-minded, DIY-forged heavies like Soundgarden and White Zombie. Like most of C.O.C. 's discography, it's an album of pure instinct. The sound of ever-evolving iconoclasts once more determining their own fate. 'Blind' remains a game-changer in a career of decimating expectations. 

As you can hear on this 30th anniversary edition, 'Blind' is a pivotal moment, not merely for C.O.C. but for metal itself. It's an album rife with musical and personal discontent, casting a long shadow into a multitude of sub-genres including Southern metal and stoner rock. But who better to be an avatar for change than Corrosion themselves? Now three decades later, with Keenan having taken the frontman’s spot for 1994’s gold-shifting Deliverance and weathering the death of Reed Mullin in early 2020, Corrosion of Conformity have not stopped or looked back. 'Blind' is really the sound of a band not content to stick to a sound or please anyone but themselves. 

This double vinyl pressing comes with several unreleased bonus tracks.
