Coroner – Mental Vortex LP

Formed in Zurich, Switzerland in 1983, Coroner were originally roadies for fellow Swiss avant garde thrashers, Celtic Frost. In fact, Frost frontman Tom G Warrior sang vocals on the bands demo, Death Cult. Signing to Germanys Noise Records in 1987 the band produced five albums for the label over the next nine. Starting out from the 80s thrash scene the bands sound soon progressed to encompass elements of classical, avant-garde, prog, jazz and industrial and their increasingly complex style pf progressive rock-infused thrash garnered them the nickname, the Rush of thrash metal. The cult status of the band lead them to reform in 2011 where they have toured the globe, playing major festivals in between.
