Corrosion of Conformity started as a hardcore punk band in 1982 in Raleigh, North Carolina, with original members Reed Mullin on drums, Woody Weatherman on guitar and Mike Dean on bass and vocals. COC were pioneers of the crossover thrash genre in the 1980s. The seeds for Corrosion of Conformity were planted when a 15 year old Woody Weatherman was taken by his father to a Black Flag concert. Inspired by the gig, he took up guitar after his father gave him an acoustic a few days later. Not being able to make enough noise with it, he traded it in immediately for a Gibson electric.

Scorned by your petrified eyes
Reborn with unjustified lies
With no apologies shown, the demonology known
I think we're dying too fast
But when fury recedes, only angels believed
It couldn't last
I won't last
It can't last
Trial, no denial, guilty by the hand of the power hungry
Man I'm unholy again, just ask the stone breakers
On high, the wicked on the mountain
Torn by the need to violate
Mourning the pure congregate
I'm on high
I'm on fire
I'm unholy
Just like the wicked on the mountain
