Finally some new Coroner!!! Are their any Coroner fans out there????. Big fan here,,,burned up several tapes and CD's of these guys back in the mid/late 80's- early 90's,,,I couldn't get enough of Tommy Vetterli's riffs, chops and leads!
Ron's vocals are always a bit raspy, but I've grown to enjoy them in the overall context. 👍🏻
I am glad to see some fresh tunes about to drop in about 4 weeks.
Here is 2 songs already released from their new album "Dissonance Theory"

Symmetry


Renewal
 
Over compressed snares are killing me though.. all new drums sound the same. It's causing me ear fatigue.

Toured with those guys back in the day. Not only a great band but great guys!
Weird to see Tommy not playing a Strat. That guy would sit in the bus and practice for hours! First scalloped fretboard I ever played!

Wow! This is beyond cool. The only time I saw Coroner live was back in the late 91' in West Palm Beach. A local band in South Miami I had auditioned for (Solstice) was opening for them. I think the other band on the bill was Raped Ape or something like that. This would have been the tour for Mental Vortex. Curious what band you were with? Super cool to have been on tour with these guys.🤘
 
Been loving this album.

Interesting to read Tommy used a Diezel VH4 for his tones instead of his usual live Bogner XTC rig.

"I think I have fourteen tube amps. Almost everything that’s relevant for rock and metal stuff. I even have an old Vox AC30. All the clean sounds on the album are a Vox AC30 from 1969. But I couldn’t find my sound. My live set-up is a Bogner amp and a Bogner speaker. But for the studio, I thought: I need something new that inspires me.

In the early 2000’s, I recorded with a band here, and the guy used an old Diezel VH4 from 1993. And this amp got stuck in my head. There were a lot of people coming with newer VH4’s, but none of them sounded like the one I had in my head. So I borrowed this amp, and that’s my sound for this album. I still have it here, but the guy wants to pick it up in a few weeks.

The prices for them are crazy, because James Hetfield bought all of them. Adam Jones from Tool also plays one like that, a Blueface. Sometimes it’s a psychological thing. I just need something new.

For the solos, I used a Friedman BE-100 Deluxe, and the speaker was an old Mesa Boogie from 2000, I think, the darker-sounding ones. You can put an SM57 in the middle of the cone, and it sounds great. If you do that with a newer one, or even one of the older ones, you have to go to the dentist, haha!”

"There is always an old Keeley modified Tube Screamer in front of the amp for the rhythm parts. And for the solos, I have a Boss Super Overdrive that I bought when I was like 15 years old. I have a nice collection of pedals here. On some of the songs, the clean sounds are played through a real Leslie. I love that sound. I use it in every production. Guitar players go crazy when I do that.”

👍🏻 I looked you up and did a dive into some Atrophy. Very cool!!!! Man,,I wanted to join the scene back then so bad, but my folks were giving me a hard time about bailing on College, which I would have had to put on hold to join a band like Solstice at the time. Solstice never really amounted to much, and Hurricane Andrew would change everyone's plans anyway just a year later (1992). Very cool that you got to tour and play at that level my friend.
I always loved the guitar playing on Coroner albums. Tommy's sound was like an Army of guitars and his solos were so melodic. The new album is very good

I saw you in Atrophy with Coroner and Forced Entry at the Thirsty Whale in River Grove, a Chicago suburb.
That show absolutely fucking KILLED. 🤘🏻
 
If you played the Omni in Oakland, CA. back in the day I was there. The Omni saw many old school metal bands back in the days bro.
 
Played the Stone and the Omni. When we played the Omni a homeless guy came up to me and told me it wasn't safe for two white boys to be walking where we were! And this was during the day!

That was just Chris Barnes. He just wanted that quarter on the ground for himself.
