Corrosion Of Conformity Launches 'Riffissippi' Covers With Free's 'Fire And Water'

The release launches a casual covers series recorded in downtime from sessions for the band’s next album.

Overview

  • The rendition of Free’s 1970 song was cut spontaneously during recording for a full-length album planned for release next year.
  • Pepper Keenan says drummer Stanton Moore, hearing the track for the first time, pushed to record it and charted the drums on the spot.
  • The song debuts the Riffissippi Studio Jam Sessions, a continuing set of jammed-out interpretations of artists the band admires.
  • Corrosion Of Conformity is on a North American run with Judas Priest and Alice Cooper from September 16 to October 26 with select headlining dates.
  • Bobby Landgraf is handling bass following Mike Dean’s 2024 departure, with recent sessions also taking place at Barry Gibb’s private Miami studio.
