Chasta and Baby Huey sit down with Pepper Keenan and Woody Weatherman of Corrosion of Conformity backstage at Aftershock to discuss the band’s new double album and the back-to-basics approach that made it one of the most enjoyable records they’ve created together.

The conversation takes a supernatural turn as Pepper recalls the bizarre moment surrounding Dimebag Darrell’s death and another recent experience in Berlin involving Type O Negative’s “Bloody Kisses” and a clock that seemingly began moving on its own. COC also look back on Pepper’s unforgettable performance with Metallica and Gary Rossington at the Fillmore and tease a mysterious remix, upcoming covers, live recordings and several other projects planned for 2027.
