I've always heard C.O.C. in passing over the years and liked a lot of it...even got a promo of thiers (America's Volume Dealer, I think) once...but I'm interested in checking them out again...so:
What are C.O.C.'s heaviest albums?

Heaviest? I think Blind is the heaviest. But it lacks the "groove" elements of their later stuff. Wiseblood and Deliverance are pure classics. But they haven't made a bad studio record, IMO.

In The Arms Of God is by far their best and heaviest record. The addition of jazz/funk drummer Stanton Moore to the recording did wonders for the band, providing a type of propulsion they never had before. It actually takes it closer to the Black Sabbath camp because Bill Ward was more of a jazz drummer than a rock drummer.
After that album I would go with Deliverance, then Blind, then Wiseblood.
