REISSUE: Coroner - R.I.P., Punishment For Decadence and No More Color
Coroner, the Swiss 80’s thrash metal legends - consisting
of bassist/vocalist Ron Royce, guitarist Tommy T. Baron, and drummer Marquis
Marky - were originally the road crew for Celtic Frost. Breaking
out on their own, the power trio formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1996, releasing
five albums during that time. In my
opinion, their best was their fourth album, No
More Color, released in 1989, which perfected their blend of intricate prog-rock
and riff-focused thrash metal that balanced speed and technicality. At the time, the band flew under the radar
but they were your favorite band’s favorite band and their albums have become
cult classics. In 2010, Royce and Baron
reformed the band with drummer Diego Rapacchietti and have played reunion shows
and are rumored to be working on new music.
Finally, Century Media/Sony Music has reissued
the trio’s long out of print albums. Out
now, their 1987 debut, R.I.P., Punishment For Decadence (1988), the
aforementioned No More Color, 1991’s
Mental Vortex and their final album, Grin, released in 1993, have all been
remastered and are available again on CD and vinyl for new generations to discover.
