Coroner – Death Cult (CD)
Product Details
Coroner emerged from the Zurich underground in the mid-1980s as one of thrash metal's most technically ambitious acts, eventually earning a reputation for musicianship that set them apart from their peers on both sides of the Atlantic. This early demo captures the band at their rawest starting point, with Celtic Frost's Tom Gabriel Fischer lending his unmistakable presence before Coroner fully stepped into their own identity. It's an essential document for anyone tracing the roots of European extreme metal.
The story of one of metal's most talented power trios begins with a band called Diamond. Before bassist Ron Royce (Ron Broder) and guitarist Tommy T. Baron (Tommy Vetterli) formed Coroner, they played in a traditional hard rock outfit by that name. After only three gigs or so, Ron and Tommy decided to leave because they wanted to start their own band. Thus, Coroner as we know them today was born. The first result of Tommy, Ron and Marky working together was the Death Cult demo, featuring 'Spectators Of Sin', 'Spiral Dream', 'Aerial Combat' and 'The Invincible'. Tom Gabriel Fischer of Celtic Frost sang vocals and also wrote the lyrics for Death Cult.
