110.0. "Coroner" by KETJE::VLASIU () Wed Sep 05 1990 10:30

    This band (which has already a topic in EHM) has to be included in
    this conference, so I do it.
    I discovered them very late (yesterday). They exist since few years now
    and released few albums of which I know of the existance of:
    R.I.P and Punishment for Decadence.
    I read in time critics telling about Coroner as beeing a head-on
    collision between Metallica and Slayer (Punishment for Decadence
    article).
    Well, me, I just listened R.I.P and I can say they are heavy amongst
    the heaviest ! They are a Swiss (ultra) power metal trio. Powerful bass
    and fast drumming in a tight rythm section which follows the guitar
    lead. Rythm changes and guitar breaks plus heavy vocals. Just like a
    heavy combat tank running like a Ferrari.
    All the songs on R.I.P are excellent (including accoustic intro's).
    The band may be also classified as thrash by some, but I think it's
    more speed and (ultra) power metal. Maiden influence in the guitar work
    also.
    R.I.P is well recommended and I'll check for "Punishment..".

	I've got "punishment for decadence" on CD if someone would like to trade it for something ... talk to me ! Scary
110.6	Difficult choice ..	KETJE::VLASIU		`Fri Sep 21 1990 07:24`	14
	Re. .4 Thanx Motorbreath, I like both of the albums with a slight subjective preference for "R.I.P" which is the first I heard. "R.I.P" is also in mid-price (sure the music counts first ... but if I can pay less it's even better). So, I think, go for "R.I.P". But, the offer in .5 for a swap is also very interesting .. "Punishment.." is very well done but my very favourite songs are on "R.I.P". Check for "Born through hate", "Fried alive" or "When angels die". In any case if you like (which I think you'll do) "R.I.P" you'll go also for "Punishment.." and later, like me now, for "No more color" (I wait to receive it these days). Enjoy, Sorin
110.7	No more colors	KETJE::VLASIU	Organizing snail-fights	`Mon Oct 01 1990 09:14`	8
	"No more color" is Coroner's last to date and follows in the same high standard as "R.I.P" and "Punishment for decadence". It is very violent and energetic form the begining to the end. It's short (about 34 mins.) but I think it's so dense that the length doesn't matter. It takes you away from the beginning and lets you breathless at the end. Well recommended but not for the anyone. Sorin
110.8	N.M.C VID	IRNBRU::SHIELDS	Press KP7 for a frontal lobotomy	`Mon Oct 21 1991 10:33`	12
	sorin, motorbreath, spike from scotland here on nick's account. good to see some coroner fans i thought i was the only one. The "NO MORE COLOUR" video live from Berlin is a must for any CORONER fan. "No need to be human" "Masked jackal" have to go down as some of the best. For three guys they make a lot of noise. Did you guys know that Coroner used to be the road crew for another rather big HM band . If you can't find out who the band was I'll update you at a later date . Catch the N.M.C VID if you get the chance and keep moshin'. THA SPIKE
110.9		SUBURB::COOKS	Symphonies Of Sickness	`Mon Oct 21 1991 14:32`	4
	The "big band" was CELTIC FROST. Joe Strummer.
110.10		KETJE::VLASIU		`Tue Oct 22 1991 14:37`	4
	The new album, "Mental vortex" seems to be also very fine. Heavy punching riffs and an excellent cover of Beatles' "I want you (she's so heavy)". Sorin
110.11		SUBURB::COOKS	Symphonies Of Sickness	`Wed Oct 23 1991 09:41`	7
	I don`t know if it`s possible now,but try and get a hold of their first demo tape. It really is excellent,and i remember being very disappointed with R.I.P. (1st album) as compared to the demo. (The demo has songs which don`t appear on their albums). Joe Strummer.
