Phase IV: The Schism and The Return (2010–2018)

Key Releases: Corrosion of Conformity (2012), IX (2014), No Cross No Crown (2018)

After a hiatus, the band reconvened in a strange configuration. Pepper Keenan was off touring with Down, so the remaining original members (Mike Dean, Woodroe Weatherman, and Reed Mullin) regrouped. They didn't hire a new singer; Mike Dean took the mic. The result was a return to their Animosity roots. Phase IV: The Schism and The Return (2010–2018)

The self-titled 2012 album and IX (2014) are fascinating entries in the discography. They stripped away the Southern rock flourishes and returned to the crossover thrash of their youth. It wasn't nostalgia; it was a band proving they could still play fast and furious.

In 2018, the stars aligned. Pepper Keenan returned, and the band released No Cross No Crown. It was a miraculous record. It sounded as if no time had passed since Deliverance. It debuted at #12 on the Billboard charts, proving that the world was hungry for authentic, greasy, heavy rock and roll.

The Stoner & Modern Era (2000–2018)

• America’s Volume Dealer (2000) – Divisive but catchy. Blogspot rips often feature the unedited 10-minute version of “Diablo Blvd.”
• In the Arms of God (2005) – Their last with Keenan until the reunion. Look for the Japanese edition with “Guitar Gangster.”
• Corrosion of Conformity (The "Animosity" lineup reunion – No Pepper) (2012) – Self-titled album with Karl Agell again. Rare Blogspot posts include demos from the 2011 sessions.
• IX (2014) & No Cross No Crown (2018) – The full Pepper Keenan reunion. A complete Blogspot will have instrumental takes and radio edits not on streaming.

Is Blogspot Still Relevant for COC Collectors?

Absolutely – for three reasons:

• Copyright gray area: Early COC demos and live soundboards have never been officially released. Blogspot is the only archive.
• Metadata & context: A blog post often includes scan of the original lyric sheet, recording studio notes, and interview snippets from the era.
• The "lost" Keenan demos: Between Wiseblood and America’s Volume Dealer, Pepper recorded 8 demos that never made an album. Only two have surfaced publicly – via Blogspot in 2011.
