Originally part of the road crew for fellow countrymen Celtic Frost, Swiss thrash trio Coroner—made up of bassist Ron Royce, drummer Marquis Marky and guitarist Tommy T. Baron—went on to become one of the most progressive extreme metal acts of the Eighties.

The connection between the Zurich band and Celtic Frost was so strong, in fact, that Frost frontman Tom G. Warrior offered to handle vocals for the emerging band’s demo. Warrior and Coroner entered Switzerland’s Magnetix studio on October 10, 1985, and nine days later they walked out with the impressive four-song 1986 release, Death Cult.

“Spectators of Sin”
“Spiral Dream”
“Aerial Combat”
“The Invincible”

While subsequent bootlegged CDs included the bonus tracks of “Arrogance in Uniform” and “Hate, Fire, Blood,” the original four-track demo consisted of the following tracks: “Spectators of Sin,” “Spiral Dream,” “Aerial Combat” and “The Invincible.” (Only “Spiral Dream” would make it onto Coroner’s 1987 debut LP, R.I.P.)

Coroner Group

After getting some serious scene recognition for Death Cult, the group went back into the studio to record its first full-length, R.I.P., on which Broder took over vocals.

Check out this classic gem of progressive thrash, and dig the technical prowess that these guys possessed even at such an early stage in their careers.

    Weird. Celtic Frost always played in E too so there’s no reason for Herr Warrior to be singing high-pitched like that. Has this been sped-up?

    tom’s vocals sound weird because all the songs have been sped up.
    I have the original, the songs are slightly slower and his vocals sound right.

    Check the lenght track on the demo cover, and then check the lenght in the media player. They are speeded up.

    So, in the media player run them at .950 of the speed and they sound much better.
