The years go quickly as 2010 makes the 25th anniversary of Corrosion of Conformity's cross-over album Animosity. The Animosity lineup of Corrosion of Conformity recently reunited and released a two-track 7" on Southern Lord which will be followed by a full-length of new material sometime next year.

While not as raw as the Animosity tracks, "Your Tomorrow" is a return to the band's punk roots in that it combines punk-style guitar riffs with a galloping rhythm section. Mike Dean's voice has held up well over the years and he delivers his raw vocals in a melodic punk fashion which leaves the two tracks sounding like bit like Iron Maiden from the Paul Di'Anno era.

For anyone who thinks Dean's vocals are getting soft, check out this live performance from the band's recent show at Highline Ballroom.



The two tracks on "Your Tomorrow" are just two different takes on the same song but the band has been including a handful of new songs in their live set. In a recent interview with Maximum Threshold, guitarist Woody Weatherman said "Man, the new stuff we're writing is pretty crazy. I'm not gonna say that it floats all the way back to the super-, super-old-school stuff, but it's definitely heading in that direction."

The band is currently off the road but will be playing the Maryland Deathfest next May (exact date is still TBD).
