 (17 Customer Reviews)
From the overture-like quality of "Stone Breaker" to the cataclysmic conclusion of the title track, IN THE ARMS OF GOD plays like a movie score. Songs ebb and flow, yet remain connected by Stanton Moore's roiling drumming, propelling the group through a swampy landscape of Southern metal. "Rise River Rise" takes its sweet time; guitars and drums tinker, while the bass rumbles along, and once everything is in place, there's a brief pause before the band roars to life. This tension and release is used again with even more success on the eerily calm "Crown of Thorns" transition into the self-titled tour de force album closer. Throughout the record, frontman Pepper Keenan's voice reveals a singer who just gets better with age, and his primal screams bring added urgency to this fiercely potent outing.
Fans who may have found 2004's AMERICA'S VOLUME DEALER a bit sterile will find IN THE ARMS OF GOD to be murkier than a bayou full of alligators. Corrosion of Conformity produced an album charged with more anger and aggression than anything the North Carolina band had done in the last 15 years. While not a total return to their 1980s political hardcore days, here C.O.C. brings back everything but the breakneck tempos.
Corrosion of Conformity: Pepper Keenan (vocals, guitar); Woody Weatherman (guitar); Mike Dean (electric bass); Stanton Moore (drums, percussion).

Corrosion Of Conformity In The Arms Of God Songs In The Arms Of God Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews COC has their own tradmark sound down tight !
COC deliver another solid album of Southern style rawness. Rise River Rise is the key track here with it's acoustic layering and Keenans soulful vocals. All in all every song will get ya where it counts. Can't wait for a new album or tour date in my area.

 This album will break the stones
Amazing, brutal, full of energy. I didn't expect such an incredible album from C.O.C.; I was so mistaken. I can't stop hearing "In the arms of God" these days, though I try to hear other bands' cd's I got.

Sabbath meets Trouble once again!
After the excellent "Blind" album, COC
began a metamorphasis into what I can only describe as southern fried Metallica; kind of like ZZ Top, Lynard Skynard and Hetfield's "Black" album all rolled into one. All releases have been more than decent but I must say, I am most pleased to hear the VOLS turned way up and those Sabbath & Trouble roots once again spreading out like hell-fueled tentacles ominously sprouting into organic monolithic monsters. This is HEAVY metal once again; thick, doomy and delivered with the class we all have come to know & expect from Corrosion. Crash, bang & whallop at will y'all; this is the perfect soundtrack to a good 'ole down home riff pummeling.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Southern Rock Hits Me Hard!!
This Cd is awesome I love the songs beginning to end guitars cut through your ears and the drums melt you with sweet beats and rhythms and the vocals don't get me started on that but I have to spill it they are cool as ice I love the lead singers screams and how well he every lyric now my most favorite song of this record is Dirty Hands and Empty Pockets the background vocals and front are awesome it than goes from a creepy song to a Van Halen type section part all the way to the end but away from that I love this album 2 thumbs up!! Oh the Crown of Thorns song is a creepy song very weird how everything goes but aside from that buy this album and be amazed!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Best Metal Album of 2005
Hands down best album I've heard in years, I'd say since Down's NOLA album in the nineties. Pepper's voice is easily the best in metal, and Woody's solos are solid throughout the entire album. Woody plays his solos with soul, not just to see how fast he play. I got this album a year ago, and I still cannot take it out of my cd player. Simply amazing.

In The Arms Of God album
 $6.39  
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood ...

In The Arms Of God music CDs
$8.49
Unfairly labeled a hair-metal band, Tesla was always closer to the spirit of vintage 1970s hard rock. When the group released 1994's BUST A NUT, grunge rock was in full swing, and the Sacramento quintet subsequently took their curtain call, keeping busy with low-profile side projects. Testing the waters in 2000, Tesla launched a successful reunion tour, proving the band's enduring appeal. INTO THE NOW stands as their first full-length studio effort in 10 years.
The core of Tesla's sound has been updated with a fresh and contemporary flavor, but it's still very much their own. Jeff Keith's voice retains its heartfelt grit and grease, while guitarists Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeotch have noticeably absorbed some nu-metal influences in the band's downtime. Downtuned, post-grunge riffs drive ...
| | Corrosion Of Conformity Deliverance CD (1994)
In The Arms Of God songs
$7.59 
The state of the music scene circa 1995 reflects a younger generation's disenchantment with society's standards, and pontificating about such matters is one of alternative rock's most popular themes. This nihilism goes beyond the realms of third or fourth generation punk. Corrosion Of Conformity touches upon this pessimistic outlook on DELIVERANCE.
Musically, C.O.C. is much darker and heavier than the more stripped down punk bands who look to the Buzzcocks, not Black Sabbath, for guidance. Pepper Keenan's vocals, coupled with guitarist Woody Weatherman's Iommi-an leads (particularly on "Albatross") bring to mind vintage Sabbath. Religious themes, dealing with the proliferation of evil and the disintegration of faith, are continually touched ...

For 2004's THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED, vocalist/guitarist Dave Mustaine reunites Megadeth--original guitarist Chris Poland, along with new members, bassist Jimmie Lee Sloas and drummer Vinnie Colaiuta--for the band's first new studio album in three years. Frontman/songwriter Mustaine has a lot on his mind, as he ruminates on many of the political and social ills troubling the world, and his words are delivered over grooves and riffs reminiscent of mid-period Megadeth (circa COUNTDOWN TO EXTINCTION). The overall sound is ...
