Coroner is a
Swiss thrash metal band from
Zürich. They garnered relatively little attention outside of
Europe. Formed in 1983, the band broke up in 1996, but reformed 14 years later. The band has performed at multiple live venues and festivals around the world since 2011, and is planning to work on new material. Coroner's music combines elements of
thrash,
classical music,
avant-garde music,
progressive rock,
jazz, and
industrial metal with suitably gruff vocals. With their increasingly complex style of
progressive rock-infused thrash, they have been called "the
Rush of thrash metal". Coroner's sound then progressed and the production became more refined, resulting in the more progressive
No More Color,
Mental Vortex and
Grin albums.
