CORRODED was formed 2004 and quickly went from unknown to household in their native country, when national TV station TV4 handpicked their debut-single “Time and Again” to accompany the promotion of their blockbuster show “Expedition Robinson” internationally known as “Survivor”. CORRODED went straight into the Swedish albumchart at #6 with their second album “Exit To Transfer”, following up on the success of their debutalbum “Eleven Shades of Black” 2009. No sign of weakness or willingness to fit any other mold than the one that they created with the debutalbum the second album “Exit to Transfer” dug deep within the same influences as before with the heavy rock acts of the 70:s with additional layers of a more modern sound shining through. With the third album “State Of Disgrace” the band has again worked with Swedish platinum selling producer Patrik Frisk at Ninetone Records and the sound is again refined, dark, heavy and very, very CORRODED.

Professionally filmed video footage of AIRBOURNE‘s June 8 performance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Nürburgring, Germany can be seen below.
AIRBOURNE‘s third album, “Black Dog Barking”, was released on May 21 via Roadrunner Records. The follow-up to 2010’s “No Guts. No Glory.” was produced by Brian Howes, who has previously worked with HINDER, DAUGHTRY and PUDDLE OF MUDD.
In a recent interview with ARTISTdirect.com, AIRBOURNE stated about the new CD: “With the second album, ‘No Guts. No Glory.’, we might’ve rushed a few things here and there because we had two world tours back to back up against each other. We recorded the music just in the middle of all that. We even had some shows between recording. This time, we spaced it out, and got our sound back to tape again…. [This time] we worked with producer Brian Howes. He loves the same kind of music that we do like IRON MAIDEN, MOTÖRHEAD, JUDAS PRIEST and Elvis Presley. He always wanted to make a rock ‘n’ roll record, but he never got the chance to. When we recorded with him, that was our goal. It was very comfortable. We got to do this right.”
Regarding the “Black Dog Barking” album title, AIRBOURNE said: “When we started this band, the music scene had a lot of new stuff going on in the late ’90s and early 2000s. METALLICA were still as big as they are. However, when we’d play shows, people would be like, ‘What do you need all of those amps for?’ We were like, ‘What? This is rock ‘n’ roll.’ They played this fucking indie shit or whatever the fuck it is. Our mindset was, ‘Fuck you and your indie shit. We’re going to play rock ‘n’ roll!’ The venues started closing down because of noise pollution. We weren’t going to let rock ‘n’ roll die, though. That’s what ‘Black Dog Barking’ is about. It’s a call to arms. If you’re with us, you’re on our side. If you’re not, then we’re coming for you.”
AIRBOURNE is Joel O’Keeffe (vocals/lead guitar), Ryan O’Keeffe (drums), David Roads (guitar) and Justin Street (bass).
