UGO.com has issued a short interview with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY singer/bassist Mike Dean. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Greg Prato;

Q: How heavy will the forthcoming COC album be?

A: "The new COC record will be as heavy as depleted uranium, coated in molasses."

Q: Care to share some info about the album (it's title, song titles, release date, etc.)?

A: "The title is yet to be determined. Which is not to say that, "The title is yet to be determined." A self-titled release crossed our minds but the album title is a game-time decision. October is a good time but if we miss that, early 2012 would be a fine time for release. 'The Moneychangers', 'River of Stone', and 'Rat City' are some of the titles."

COC are currently working on new material and have recently been in the studio.

"We made demos of 11 new songs at our rehearsal space and Woody's barn," Mike Dean told Metal Kaoz recently. "Some of them were pretty close to the finished idea. I was like the tyrant of preproduction getting everything recorded to see if the ideas held up. One song 'Your Tomorrow' we ended up releasing as a 7'' single. Now we just finished recording everything for real with the band and John Custer producing."
