Flex Your Head 15: Corrosion of Conformity - ‘Animosity’

On Flex Your Head episode 15 host Jason Schreurs welcomes back Nelson from Nelson to examine the crossover hardcore classic, Corrosion of Conformity's Animosity. From '80s political lyrics (not a far cry from current events) to Mike Dean's unbelievably weird, harsh vocal style, we dig into an album that helped create a punk/metal amalgam that continues to this day.
