Corrosion of Conformity & The Sword in Cincinnati

Corrosion of Conformity, the long-running North Carolina heavy metal band, brings its blend of hardcore punk roots and blues-tinged metal to Cincinnati's Bogart's. The band, formed in 1982, has evolved from its early hardcore sound to a slower, more groove-oriented style, with hits like "Albatross" and "Clean My Wounds" from their 1994 album *Deliverance*. Their latest album, *Good God / Baad Man*, was released in 2026, and they continue to tour with a lineup that has seen many changes over the decades.

Joining them are The Sword, known for their heavy, riff-driven rock, and Hippie Death Cult, adding to a night of powerful, guitar-heavy music. This all-ages show welcomes everyone, and the venue operates as a cashless establishment, accepting only credit and debit payments. With a mix of established acts and newer voices, this concert promises a deep dive into the world of heavy metal and its many subgenres.
