History

The Swiss thrash trio Coroner were originally roadcrew for Celtic Frost. Celtic Frost were an influential heavy metal band from Zürich, Switzerland. They eventually formed their own group, recording their demo Death Cult in 1986 with Tom G. Warrior of Celtic Frost on vocals. Thomas Gabriel Fischer (born July 19 1963 earlier known by his stage name of "Tom Gabriel Warrior" is a Swiss singer and guitarist Their first full-length album R.I.P., released in 1987, featured bass player Ron Broder on vocals and he assumed the role for the rest of the group's existence. RIP is the first album released by the Swiss thrash metal trio Coroner.

The group released several albums through 1993, ending with a greatest hits collection, Coroner, in 1995. A greatest hits album (sometimes referred to as a " best of " album is a Compilation album of successful previously released Songs by a particular Coroner is the penultimate release by the Swiss Thrash metal band Coroner. Lack of media exposure brought this band to disbanding in 1994 — and eventually to their farewell tour consequent to their self-titled album.

In March 2005, talks of a reunion were in the works, but later retracted. The main reason was that neither Marky, Ron, nor Tommy had the time it would require to do this properly, and also that neither of them liked to, quote, "reheat things, except spaghetti sauce. "

Evolution and Style

Musically, Coroner evolved from a speed metal band with gothic and classical overtones like Celtic Frost and Bathory into a technical-based band. Speed metal is a sub-genre of Heavy metal music originating in the late 1970s and early 1980s that was the direct musical progenitor of Thrash metal. Bathory was a Swedish heavy metal band formed by Quorthon in 1983 Coroner's first album, R.I.P., was based on neo-classical lines and was technical and classically influenced. RIP is the first album released by the Swiss thrash metal trio Coroner. For the historical original neoclassical music see Neoclassicism (music Neo-classical metal is a subgenre of Heavy metal music

The second album, Punishment for Decadence, saw a progression into a more complex sound with a unison of bass and guitar. Punishment for Decadence is the second album by the Swiss thrash metal group Coroner. Tempo changes interspersed mid-paced sections and the odd slow passage between the faster passages started to emerge. 2266-Tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl or TEMPO is the Chemical compound with the formula (CH23(CMe22NO Lyrically, Coroner began to write about themes such as politics and personal introspection.

The production of No More Color by Pete Hinton and the band, was an improvement. No More Color is Coroner's third album It is the release where they started to truly 'progress' as the songs are still similar to their older speedy European Moreover, Coroner's music became more technical on No More Color as the guitar work was characterized by intricate modes and arpeggios, solo work that was chromatically colorful, as well as the de rigueur crunchy chords and speed runs; the drumming went beyond the 4/4 time of Coroner's two previous albums to incorporate odd time signatures which became their trademark. In Music, a scale is an ordered series of Musical intervals which along with the key or tonic, define the pitches However mode In Music, an arpeggio is a broken chord where the Notes are played or sung in Sequence, one after the other rather than Ringing out simultaneously The time signature (also known as " meter signature" is a notational convention used in Western Musical notation to specify how many beats The bass player is also worth a mention as having an advanced three-finger technique which enables him to double the rhythm line as well as perform intricate riffs. Prime examples of this are the opener "Die By My Hand" with its vicious riffing and the harmonic minor inspired riff in the middle of "Mistress of Deception". In Music, a riff is an Ostinato figure a repeated Chord progression, pattern refrain or melodic figure, often played by the Rhythm Minor Scale was a test conducted by the United States Defense Nuclear Agency (now part of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency) involving the detonation There is a dark mood on this album that could be classified as death metal yet spans many influences from other metal genres. Death metal is an extreme subgenre of heavy metal. It typically employs fast tempos heavily distorted guitars deep growling vocals morbid lyrics The closer "Last Entertainment" is a prescient take on TV.

Mental Vortex improved over No More Color. Mental Vortex is the fourth album of the Swiss thrash metal trio Coroner. Continuing with the previous album's technical formula, the speed metal formula was re-integrated into Coroner's sound on this album but with a tone that made it sound not at all like R. I. P. or Punishment for Decadence. There were slower songs but none of the songs on Mental Vortex stayed the same speed for very long. The songs on Mental Vortex ranged from four to eight minutes. Overall, the tone was a shift from the thrash-tech of No More Color which showed them gravitating towards their opus Grin.

Grin saw a much more industrial sound and was a natural progression from Mental Vortex but was different from most of their previous material. Industrial metal is a Musical genre that draws from Industrial music and heavy metal. It involved a much more reflective guitar riff and underlying bass line. It was slower and more refined in its metal sensibility. Brooding guitar over Royce's bass produced an almost hypnotic trance-like sound on some tracks. For the state of mind see Hypnosis. Hypnotic drugs induce Sleep (which differentiates them from the Sedative Trance denotes a variety of processes techniques modalities and states of mind awareness and consciousness

Their eponymous album, Coroner, was a greatest hits compilation which also contained some unreleased material. Coroner is the penultimate release by the Swiss Thrash metal band Coroner.
