Corrosion of Conformity Debuts Baad Man Video Ahead of Nationwide Tour
A roar erupts from Kansas City as Corrosion of Conformity (C.O.C.) drops the new music video for “Baad Man” on July 6, 2026. The clip was filmed during the band’s April 17 set at Harrah’s VooDoo Lounge in Missouri and was directed by Jeffrey Sisson and Jason Cantu.
The video is a raw snapshot of the live show, capturing the high‑energy atmosphere that defined the April performance. Vocalist and guitarist Pepper Keenan greeted the release on the band’s official social‑media channels: “Well, well, well… Here comes the man with the fists on fire. I think they ‘bout to turn him loose! Lemme hear ya saaaayyy….!”
“Baad Man” opens the second disc of C.O.C.’s double album Good God / Baad Man, issued on April 3, 2026 through Nuclear Blast Records. The album marks the band’s first studio effort in eight years since No Cross No Crown (2018) and introduces bassist Bobby Landgraf, who replaced founding bassist Mike Dean in 2024.
To promote the record, C.O.C. is embarking on a headlining run across the United States and Europe, supported by Whores. and Crobot. The North American leg starts on July 6 in Houston, Texas, and runs through a series of venues in Dallas, Austin, Mesa, Los Angeles, Pomona, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Spokane, Boise, Denver, and Lincoln. The European leg kicks off on July 30 in Helsinki and continues through Wacken, Wiesbaden, Cologne, Berlin, Jaromer, Brusson, Val De Bagnes, and culminates with a final show in Sacramento on October 3.

The coordinated release of the video and the tour launch is part of a broader effort to re‑introduce C.O.C. to the global metal scene. The partnership with Nuclear Blast—a German label that has distributed metal releases worldwide since 1987—underscores the international reach of the promotion.
The video has already amassed millions of views worldwide, and the tour continues to sell out venues across North America and Europe. The next headline‑setting stop is the Wacken Festival on August 1, a key event for metal acts.
C.O.C.’s latest material and accompanying tour demonstrate the band’s enduring relevance in the heavy‑metal genre, following the release of Good God / Baad Man and the rollout of the “Baad Man” video.
