Corrosion Of Conformity (often abbreviated as C.O.C.) were founded in Raleigh/North Carolina in 1982 and the band has undergone multiple line-up changes throughout its existence, with lead guitarist Woody as the sole constant member. They started with excellent Hardcore sounds, which their debut album (this) on No Core Records impressively demonstrates, but later moved towards a slower and bluesier heavy metal sound. On this fantastic album the line-up were Eric (vocals, the only album with him), Woody (guitars), Mike (bass/vocals), Reed (drums) and soon after, Eric left the band and C.O.C. continued as a three-piece and 1985's follow-up Animosity was released through Metal Blade Records. Although it was well-received and is now seen as an important album in the crossover thrash genre, Metal Blade did little to promote the album, prompting Mike to quit the band in 1987. What happened to the band after that can be read and I don't want to write any more, fact is: Eye For An Eye is the band's best work and an important contribution of American Hardcore blasts.
