North Carolina metal legends Corrosion of Conformity have dropped a surprise cover of Free's 1970 classic "Fire and Water", as part of their upcoming Riffissippi Studio Jam Sessions series.

Check out the Mike Holderbeast-produced video for the track below:

In the press release sent out for the track, no further information was given regarding the upcoming covers project or when to expect another single. However, frontman Pepper Keenan broke down what led to covering the legendary British rockers:

"When we were tracking this record, we had a very cool space set up where we would essentially hang in the large room with everything mic'd and everything we needed, including a turntable and a bunch of our favorite records, which we would play and chill out between takes. We were hanging together, and I pulled out a Free album and 'Fire And Water' popped up. [Drummer] Stanton [Moore] jumped up immediately and said, 'Who the fuck is that!?' He had never heard it before. We were baffled, but it was awesome to us that he had never heard it. He said, 'Let's cut that!' I said, 'Man, that's friggin' Free and kind of like holy ground that you don't fuck with.' But we started thinking about it and damn, Stanton charted it out like the drum wizard he is. I said, 'I can't sing like that, man. He's the king.' Someone in the room said, 'Just sing it like you,' so we went for it and had a blast doing it. It was a nice fun break from the recording. It's nothing too serious, just a bunch of fellas leaning into it, loving the rock. It's an exercise in restraint. Hope y'all dig it."
