Drummer Nick Shabatura made his live debut with CORROSION OF CONFORMITY on April 7 at Hell at The Masquerade in Atlanta, Georgia. Fan-filmed video of the concert can be seen below (courtesy of the YouTube channel AmyMeacham).
Shabatura, who has previously played with DESECRATE THE HOUR and the Chicago-based NIRVANA tribute band SMELLS LIKE NIRVANA, landed the C.O.C. gig at the recommendation of ANTHRAX/PANTERA drummer Charlie Benante.
The Masquerade marked the first show of CORROSION OF CONFORMITY‘s North American headlining tour with support provided by WHORES and CROBOT. The journey commenced with a pair of headlining shows on April 7 and April 8 in Atlanta and Greensboro, respectively, with WHORES. From there, the band headed to Sayreville on April 9 to join CLUTCH for a run of dates through May 3 in Asheville (with additional support by JD Pinkus). CORROSION OF CONFORMITY reconvenes with WHORES on May 5 in Toronto and May 6 in Montreal with CROBOT joining the caravan for all remaining dates through May 16 in New Orleans.
