Mike Dean Says 'Never Say Never' to Corrosion of Conformity Return

He is recording locally with his new band Archaos after stepping away in 2024.

Overview

  • In a new interview with Drew Stone, the founding bassist said a return is possible and that he is not opposed to rejoining.
  • Dean reiterated that long-distance collaboration and the loss of drummer Reed Mullin made continuing with the band difficult.
  • Corrosion of Conformity has since brought in Bobby Landgraf, a former Down guitarist and current Pantera bass tech, to handle bass duties.
  • Dean praised Landgraf’s playing and work ethic, saying the band sounds strong with the current lineup.
  • The group is recording a new full-length slated for 2025, recently released a studio jam cover of Free’s Fire and Water, and is on a North American support tour with Judas Priest and Alice Cooper through October 26.
