American heavy-riff devotees CORROSION OF CONFORMITY have the official visualizer for their cover of the LYNYRD SKYNYRD track “On The Hunt”, taken from the illustrious southern rock band’s third studio album “Nuthin’ Fancy”, released in 1975. This cover version, which was originally recorded in 2004 and previously made available in 2015, brings a singular C.O.C. swagger and sludge-laden groove to the classic track. Listen below.
This “On The Hunt” cover lands shortly before C.O.C. kicks off its three-week tour across Europe, set to include performances at Desertfest London, Desertfest Berlin and Soulstone Gathering in Krakow.
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY‘s Mike Dean commented: “This is our hard to find tribute to LYNYRD SKYNYRD, a major influence of C.O.C. With the recent passing of the great Gary Rossington, the last living original member of LYNYRD SKYNYRD, we thought it would be a good time to make this celebration of SKYNYRD more widely available.”
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY is currently working on material for the follow-up to 2018’s “No Cross No Crown” album. This past February, the band shared a short video of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY guitarist/vocalist Pepper Keenan playing in the studio with drummer Stanton Moore and included the following caption: “Tune writing sessions before the Spring UK/Euro Tour!!”
CORROSION OF CONFORMITY recorded “No Cross No Crown” in about forty days over the course of a year at a North Carolina studio with longtime producer John Custer.
