Wiseblood
Wiseblood is the fifth studio album by Corrosion of Conformity, released on 15 October 1996 on Columbia. It was the American heavy metal band's second and final record for the label, following Deliverance in 1994, and it takes its title from Flannery O'Connor's Southern Gothic novel Wise Blood.
The record's most notable guest is Metallica's James Hetfield, who sings backing vocals on "Man or Ash". "Drowning in a Daydream" earned a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance at the 40th ceremony, though the award went to Tool for "Ænema". Sales were more modest than for Blind and Deliverance, reaching 130,000 copies by 1999, but it remains a worthwhile chapter in the band's mid-nineties run, and it is a good place to hear them during their Columbia years.
