I've been a Coroner fan since 1989. I remember the first time I saw Coroner on Headbangers Ball, and I was immidiately drawn to their sound. I love all of their releases, and highly recommend all of them to any fan of Speed/Death/ and Thrash Metal...

If you've never heard Coroner, you're in for a real treat. The only words to really describe Coroner's sound is "unique", "dark", "fast as lightning", "very deep"....

They don't sound like anybody else IMO, but they are brutal power at it's very best. They are all very talented, and perfectionist musicians. Guitarist T. Baron is one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. His riffs are blazing fast, and he plays some of the most impressive soaring/flying leads I've ever heard. He is without question an axe master....

Metal Vortex is without question Coroner's finest hour. It's very polished, and very well written. There is not one single filler here either. All of the songs on Mental Vortex have a very powerful, and lasting impression. Drummer M. Marky lays down some of his very best lyrics here too. It's a dark ride through the gates of hell and back IMO. They really did some excellent work here, and it's truly a masterpiece in every way.....

If I had to classify this, and compare it to another band, I couldn't really. I'll just say that it's one of the best CD's I own, and I've got 1000's......

CORONER RULES!!!!...

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mental Vortex (Audio CD)

these guy started as celtic frost roadies i hear,they are very intense and dinamic speed/thrash band but not till now have they managed to go further than those labels but this cd takes them into their own realm of music maturity,choatic riffs but very contamed to flow brilliantly as a three piece fury of technical brutallity, progressive talent and sheer flow of aggression.

This review is from: Mental Vortex (Audio CD)

This is what brutal was before Death Metal became prominent.Amazing composistion in the guitar work,And ther're cover of the Beatle's "I want you(She so heavy)" has to be one of the best remakes of any cover tune if not the best.I love these guys,But this is probly ther're only really good album in my oppinion.Ther're other stuff is cool,But this album sets a really high standard.
