Corroded Coffin announces "the boy."

Newcomers Corroded Coffin are in the news again today, as they announced the release of their first all-original studio album. 

The group rose to fame in the past year after a fan posted a video of the band doing a metal cover of Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl.” Drummer Gareth Richardson has since been quoted as saying that they “never play that shit” but it had been a fan request. Lucky for the band that their fans had such foresight! The video skyrocketed into viral ubiquity, making the band a household name in just a few short weeks. 

It was later rumored that the aforementioned fan was none other than Corroded Coffin frontman/lead guitarist Eddie Munson’s girlfriend, but the band has not responded to requests to confirm. 

Whether or not the fan in question is Munson’s girlfriend, we expect to hear a lot more about her on their freshman album, since the newly released cover art depicts her standing on a mountain of skulls, a heart pierced on her brandished sword. The artwork release comes just on the heels of the announcement of the album name— “the boy.” though our staff would like to point out that the album might be more accurately titled “the girl.”

Alongside the slate of all-original works, the band is expected to release a series of covers this summer, ranging from Dio’s “Rainbow in the Dark” cover we heard on their instagram page last month to a rumored collaborative cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie.” Whatever they release, we at Rolling Stone can’t wait to get it stuck in our heads.

Cum On, Christine

Met you at my favorite spot

In a trance you were caught

Let me rip you from that hole

Taking on a new role (new role)

Now we’re taking on the school though 

So you

Hide under the bleachers

Wear my favorite t-shirt

Kiss me with your mouth full

How they gonna handle

the metalhead 

And the cheerleader

Metalhead

And the cheerleader (leader)

Flip your skirt

Scream my name

On the field she a leader

On my bed she let me eat her

On my knees like she my preacher

Praying for the rain

Cause she’s a cheerleader

Nothing sweeter

Wanna make her cum again

Cum again

Cum again

Cum again

And I wanna make her cum again

Cheering for the home team

Mama’s boy been pretty mean

But the queen needs her crown

She’s blowing kisses

And I’m starting to drown

Never got a handle

On the metalhead 

And the cheerleader

Metalhead

And the cheerleader (leader)

On the metalhead 

And the cheerleader

Metalhead

And the cheerleader (leader)

Shred my heart into her pom poms

Play me like a love song

I’m completely wrecked

On this field of nightmares

I’m completely fucked

Cause I knew it all along

All along

All along

Cause I knew she’d do me wrong

Cause she’s a cheerleader

Maneater

She’ll use you up

You’ll never see her

Cum again

Cum again

Cheerleader

Maneater

I hope she knew I’d never leave her

Til I could make her cum again

Cum again

Cum again

Cum again

If I never see her cum again

(extremely vicious drum solo)

If I never see her

Cum again

Cum again

Cum again

If I never see her

Cum again

If I never see her

Cum again

Cum again

Cum again

If I never see her

Cum again

If I never see her

Cum again

Cum again

Cum again

If I never see her

Cum again

(drum reprise)

Call me stupid call me crazy

Sit on my face

Don’t ever change

I’d let you flay me open, baby

As long as you will

Cum again

Vecna’s Curse

Demon dreamer

Wishing vines around his fingers

Demon dreamer

Hollow eyes and a stare that lingers

Fingers on your face

Memories of pain

Got you in his hold

Are you ready to go?

Ready to go

Ready to go to go to go to go

Are you ready to go?

Demon dreamer 

Wishing vines around his fingers

Demon dreamer

Hollow eyes and a stare that lingers (lingers)

Ooooooh don’t let him catch you!

Ooooooh don’t let him catch you!

There’s a girl he tries to visit

Got her throat tightened with stitches

Got her in his hold

But she’s not ready to go

No! She’s not ready to go

Ready to go

Ready to go go / go go go / go go 

She’s not gonna go!

Demon dreamer

Slicing vines around his fingers

Demon dreamer

Scared of tiny cheerleaders

Demon dreamer

Can’t sleep no more

Cause she’s a screamer

Demon dreamer

Demon dreamer

Wrote her the song

I’m gonna sing her

Keep her safe from demon dreamer

Cause she’s not ready to go

No! She’s not ready to go

Ooooooh he won’t catch her

Ooooooh don’t let him catch her

Ooooooh cause she’s not ready to go

Ready to go

Ready to go go / go go go / go go 

She’s not gonna go!

Needle Boy

The monster’s in the kitchen and the girl is on the floor

The boy is in the back room and I forget what for

Everything is quiet everything is loud

Her eyes are turning white and he is screaming mad

Don’t forget the needle, boy

The girl is calling your name

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Lift it / pick it / plop it / drop it / spin it / get in it

Go!

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Dance around the questions

Don’t see the bones

Don’t smell the bile

Don’t feel the winces

Don’t clock the fake smile

Just drop that needle, boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Just drop that needle, boy

Before the girl leaves the ground

Just drop that needle, boy

She needs a portal through the clouds

He’s searching in his cabinet underneath his socks

He’s digging through another drawer he knows it isn’t in

He’s looking looking looking

While she’s yelling yelling yelling

And the world starts to slip

Get your ass into the kitchen, boy

And drop that needle quick

Don’t forget the needle, boy

The girl is calling your name

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Lift it / pick it / plop it / drop it / spin it / get in it

Go! 

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Needle boy

Don’t forget the needle, boy

Siren Song

(Just 7 minutes of my muse’s wailing moans over my wailing guitar)

Chapter Text

Hand Holding is Metal as Fuck

Didn’t know your name before I loved you, baby (baby)

Didn’t know your face when I found your soul (found your soul)

Tell me you will never love another, maybe

Because when I’m with you, I am home

Do all lovers think their love is different

Do all lovers love alone (love alone)

Do all lovers feel like they invented it

Like I do when she

Calls me home

Didn’t know your name before I loved you, baby (baby)

Didn’t know your face when I found your soul (found your soul)

Tell me you will never love another, maybe

Because when I’m with you, I am home

Does your lover know your love is infinite

Will your lover love you to the end

Does your lover love you for the hell of it

Like my lover when she

Holds my hand

Yea like my lover

When she holds my hand

(key change, obviously)

Most badass thing she’s ever done

Gonna treat her like my moon and sun

Gonna let her lead me 

Follow every demand

Never felt like I do

When she holds my hand

Yea she’s my home (she’s my home) she’s my hooOooOme

Never felt like I do

When my love 

Holds my hand

Didn’t know your name before I loved you, baby (baby)

Didn’t know your face when I found your soul (found your soul)

Tell me you will never love another, maybe

Because when I’m with you, I am home

(my face-melting solo)

Because when I’m with you

Because when I’m with you

Sweetheart, when I’m with you

I know I’m home

Carnage

Lip gloss viper

Eyes like iceberg

I’m falling under

Her spell

Crooked teeth/ bow in her hair

Steal my breath and strip me bare

Lip gloss viper

Laughs a siren song

And I’m falling under

Her spell

Little girl, little girl

What you doing with that sword?

Little girl, little girl

How will I survive you?

Little girl, how will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage?

I try to focus on the taste of her lips

While she’s ripping me to shreds

Shirt staining where I’ve bled

Can’t pretend I’m ok

Systems failing / I’m derailing

When she asks me if I’ll stay

Little girl, little girl

What you doing with that dagger?

Little girl, little girl

Heart served up on a silver platter

Little girl, little girl

How will I deny you?

Little girl, how will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage?

(the most epic thrashing solo)

How will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage? 

How will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage? 

How will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage? 

How will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

How will I survive your carnage? 

How will I survive your carnage? (carnage)

Don’t wanna survive your carnage

Shooting balls in laundry baskets

While they’re putting kids in caskets

Anti hero on the run

When the good boy buys a gun

Gangs of letter jackets

Pulling dollars from my mattress 

Gotta run run run

When the good boy buys a gun

Little round bruises

Things she never chooses

Fumbles in the back seat

Treats her like a piece of meat

Good boy, good boy

They say that he’s a good boy

He’s got a future (future)

They say he’s got a future

What about her future?

Rub my belly and I’ll roll over

Never need to question if I’ll follow your orders

Never need to worry if I’ll cross your borders

I just wanna be your pet

Please let me make you scream

Call me good boy I’ll call you Queen
