Anybody dig CORONER?

I have known Swiss Thrash trio Coroner by name since thr 90ies or so, but I never knew their music until a few days ago when someone on another forum posted a clip.
WOW, what a great band and what an awesome guitarist.
Too bad the band does not exist naymore, but nevertheless I will try to get all their albums.

Love em...I've been a fan since"R.I.P"..Tommy T. Baron is great..Big influence on me along with Alex Skolnick..

LOOOOOOOOOOVE Coroner. Been a huge fan since the 80s.

Indeed. I've been a fan since the "Death Cult" demo days. Excellent band that definitely had it's own sound...

 

[Riff Obsessed]

To me they're quite possibly the best technical thrash band around (although for me this changes on a weekly basis thereabouts). Punishment For Decadence in particular is excellent technical thrash that doesn't descend into wankery. It's a shame that Tommy Vetterli isn't interested in this sort of music anymore, cause he could write some really intense riffs when he wanted to.

I don't know if Tommy plays in a band at all anymore. All I know is that he runs a studio these days.

[namedrop]Tom G. Warrior told me a year or two back that he paints houses or something for a living (one of the Coroner guys does anyway, I'm sure it was Tommy).[/namedrop]

This is the studio I was talking about:

New Sound Studio

But that does not mean he can live off the studio, so it might well be possible he has a regular day job (like painting houses) to make a living.
Either way I find it's such a pity he does not sdeem to be playing anymore....

Yeah, I agree. I know their guitarist was in Kreator for a while but I don't know what he's doing these days.
