Search - Coroner :: Grin

Their Testament

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album is quite difficult to find...but definitely worth the time and money spent on it : it's pure pleasure.



Tommy Baron skills are just so d**mn good, and his solos on this album are even better than thoses on "Mental Vortex". I think is one of the most gifted guitar player from Metal, along with Alex Skolnick.

But is Grin better than Mental Vortex ? Hard to say honestly..one reviewer wrote that it continues where Mental Vortex stop... and evoluate magnificently I will add..It's all about theses dark atmospheres punctuated by killer solos and clever rythm guitar, incredibles breaks, everything is at his place at the right time, as usual with Coroner.The production is even better than "Mental.."

Special mention for Mesmerized / paralyzed : a song of 8 minutes, maybe the most intense of it all.

Just imagine how Coroner would have evoluate with the quality of the new production they had at last...



But there's maybe a good news : it seems they are preparing a reunion tour............"
