This album is a fierce, under appreciated monster Jem for sure. Coroner hailed From Zürich Switzerland, and played speed thrash metal that has a huge Celtic Frost and Kreator influence. The band put out two vicious demos before releasing this, their debut album. I think anyone listening to this, with any understanding of music history could tell you that the writing, and guitar playing is VERY classical influenced as well. Tons of fast paced galloping mixed with the bands tech style makes this one of my favorite thrash metal records of the late 80's. A true metal masterpiece.
I bumped into this record by mistake at a record store on Haight street (Reckless, or Restless,I forget), and bought it because it was used, and very cheap($3.99). I was way into my German stuff at this time, and mistook the band from being German. Another record I'm glad I ran into. I miss those days of record shopping with Zoran, in San Fransisco.

  4. This album was great, but over the years I find myself listening to "No More Color" album the most. Both records have amazing and memorable melody lines...and expert riffing. Classic for sure.

  5. didn´t do tom warrior some vocals on some of their demos ? guitarist tommy went on to join kreator (on the much underrated outcast album, and endorama ). as always - a great choice , timo

  8. What a great find!
    I had this on vinyl along with about
    800 other albums.. I lost them all
    when Hurricane Andrew decided to visit in 1992..I may never get all
    my old bands back together but..
    This helps alot.

    On a side note..I see you listed some
    Poison Idea.. I used to live in "The Death House" with Trey off of Burnside Ave in Portland.
    Jerry A would stop in along with others..Tito from Wehrmacht, Brian from Sweaty Nipples, Smegma, Satyricon, Lockjaw, Final Warning!!
    Ahh I miss those days. Hell, even G.G. Allin would stop in..

    Thank you!
    Mike

  11. Cheers for the cool post! Trying to rebuild the metal collection I foolishly sold for booze money a decade ago, and adding a few unheard gems like this!
