The greatest progressive thrash band of all time imho have recently confirmed one more round of gigs, 15 years after their dissolution.
 
I better start saving for the flights, or start swimming in earnest.
 
For the uninitiated: Divine Step
 
They are THE most underrated metal band on the planet, but once you get hooked, you'll find that Coroner are a lifetime thing.  Their last and best album, 'Grin' is criminally OOP and sold the fewest of all their albums.  I hope they are finally motivated to address this issue.  See 'Serpent Moves' for one of the coolest riffs ever written and possibly the greatest metal guitar solo ever recorded.  Mellifluous comes to mind.
 
Any other Coroner lovers out there?

WOW, this is great news! Mental Vortex is my fave album from them, and I really like the offbeat Beatles cover for some reason, hehehe.

 

[rehabitat]

Thanks for the reply. Nice to see someone cares.  I like the cover too, it was a good choice for them, but others disagree.
 
How's this for brutality?  Be patient, the song doesn't kick in until 1:15, but it's worth the wait.  It crushes.

I'm already there, one thing about Coroner are the lyrics, usually metal lyrics are ridiculous and somewhat puerile. I seldom appreciate the lyrics, but these guys are one of the exceptions and their music are indeed so good that underrated is a common word when reading about the band.
 
The tickets are on sale (with a discount) around Xmas, my mind is already made up, Hellfest have in the last years been the best metal festival in Europe IMHO.

What, there's a thrash band out there that's better than Coroner? I challenge you to name me one. This is the true big 4 of thrash tour.

 

[rehabitat]

IME there is none better.  Many would disagree, but these people have simply not got with the groove.  In time it will be proven.
 
Yes, the lyrics are rather exceptional for their time, especially given that English is not their native tongue.
 
Thanks for resurrecting this thread guys.  I have been waiting for these guys to return for many years.  Too bad I'll probably never see them live.  Thanks to the internet I'll be able to enjoy the experience vicariously.

Coroner, still looking for some albums in pristine condition. 
 
Rehabitat, have you looked into Gore yet? "Mean Mans Dream" was more to my liking than expected...

 

[rehabitat]

Hey, good luck on your search. I have noticed your posts on Gore and I plan to check them out (c: The band Bohren und der Club of Gore, whom I enjoy greatly, I read started as kind of a hardcore tribute to Gore, so the name is already familiar. So far I know them only by reputation.

 

[Deep Funk]

Gore's work is tricky to find but I can upload the ripped albums so you can download the music. If you are lucky their albums sometimes turn up on Ebay or via smaller record companies like coolrecordstore.
 
Coroner...

 

[rehabitat]

That would be exceedingly generous of you.  I would be delighted to reciprocate.  ygpm
 
I just noticed your sig.  The statement on Gore touches on something I have held close for a long time.  When I realised that what I was listening to was some of the absolute best ever, most everything else comparable sounded meh.  One is spoiled by someone else's brilliance, which makes it so much harder to be satisfied.
 
Coroner is one of the bands that help me to decide that life is too short for completism.  My resolve since those days is to search for what I believe to be the only best of every kind of music that I can find in my lifetime.  This decision has limited my collection and it is slow to build, but part of my objective is to minimise time spent with mediocrity.  However, I believe my collection stands up very well to repetition.  Sometimes it can be tough to be disappointed by so much that I hear, but imho it is definitely worth it.
