Coroner : Pure Punishment!!!

"At last!!!....About time!!!I was a huge Coroner fan back when this was released. These guys are fast and furious. It's a mix between Speed/Death/Thrash/ Techincal Metal. Not many people have ever even heard of Coroner, but finally Amazon has made this CD available. THANK YOU!!!The three members of Coroner had more talent than most five member bands. Guitarist T. Barron is lightning fast, and also plays with a melodic approach at times. The whole thing comes together to form a "in your face" onslaught of power...."Punishment" may not be the best Coroner release to date, but it's very refreshing if your looking for something quite different than your normal Metal sound. It's very unique in a scary sort of way.....I prefer "No More Color", and "Mental Vortex" over "Punishment", but they aren't available yet on CD. "Punishment" is still very good, and it's great to see this out again. I just bought it, and I can't wait to hear it again. Coroner has an underground fan base around the world, and with the re-birth of Metal today, Coroner should not be overlooked....Check them out if you dare!!!"

AT LAST

"...I would suggest you [buy this] asap, because this is one [great] band. Highly underrated and coming from Switzarland (just like Iced Earth before, and possibly Red Sun Project in the future)
Playing trash with noticable prog influences this is not usual death/trash metal. Vocals (done by bass player) are growls but the music is amazing all the time. Technically great with heavy riffs, a guitar player that can easily take on Darrel, and the 50lbs drummer who's pounding on double base non-stop is something that you do not want to miss. I personally prefer thier two last albums (Mental vortex, Grin), but there is nothing wrong with these before (Punshiment..., No more color). Too bad they've disbanded.
Music should not be described with words, so I wont try to do that, just a friendly advice: get this as soon as possible, and listen to it. Over and over again."
