2024 - Present

Accepted Answer

The band went on hiatus until 2024. After a comeback show with Signs of the Swarm in 2025, the band is currently working on new music and planning upcoming shows.

Question 5

The "OO" Meaning

Accepted Answer

Why two O’s and not one? Because when choosing between something that expresses our mind and something banal, the latter is discarded. The meaning comes first: Corroosion stands for acid, abrasion, and attack against what disgusts us most. Many try to do this but end up on pedestals, at the same level as what they claim to denounce — that’s not us. Here is where the two “O”s take on a specific meaning: they are intended numerically, as two zeros: no superiority, only equality, which lets us see flaws, dirt, and truth. They’re also eyes — alien ones. Through this minimalism and alienation, our perception becomes inhuman, capable of destroying, disfiguring, using muriatic acid. A being made of many parts — us — creating corrosion. This is our music.
