No More Color and Mental Vortex are two of my favorite metal records. BTW, "D.O.A." usually stands for dead on arrival, not "dead or alive". Im stoked they got back together and hope they get to NYC. haven't seen them since around '91-92. Great band.
TY for this, loved Coroner since high school in the late 80's but never heard much of their "lore." Saw them last year, it was incredible. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if they played in E standard like the old days, but y'know, older guitarists like playing in D standard for the lower string tension.
Marky is such an underrated drummer. Will be hard to come close to his genius when the album hits. He had a very groove and unique playstyle. While being tight, he always conveyed some kind of urgency. Something you may not notice, but makes this whole music unique on another level
Great to hear another Coroner fan nerding out. For me Punishment for Decadence's 'correct' cover is the violin playing skeleton. Gotta agree with the record company on that one. I only ever knew there was a different one like a month ago. I'm like, 'the hell is this?' The sculptures are fine, but it's just not the same.
I bought "Mental Vortex" on tape when it first came out. I lived in a very small town that only had 1 record store. Whenever a new album came out that wasn't top 40 they would have it on sale the first week for $6.99 on cassette. I was instantly hooked. I discovered a ton of great metal bands that way. From Death, Pantera, Sacred Reich, Xentrix, Obituary, Atrophy, Nuclear Assault, Sepultura, etc. I was so into metal back around 1987 until around 1992. Anthrax, Suicidal Tendencies, M.O.D., D.R.I., Slayer, Danzig, Cro-Mags Sickofitall,, and a ton of hardcore punk bands. Oh, and King Diamond. I loved King Diamond's "Them" and "The Eye". I was the only King Diamond fan in that little town.
Keep the Heavy metal near to your heart and on the stereo you seem to be into the some of the same bands I love, especially Slayer Sacred Reich ...Coroner and Nuclear Assault .....Suicidal Tendencies and Sulputura 🎉❤
@paul.theeightiesluvr.1945 Sacred Reich was so underrated. "The American Way" is great through the whole album Definitely in the my Top 10 Metal albums of all time. Along with ",Danzig II: Lucifuge, Metal Church "The Human Factor", Obituary "Cause of Death", Slayer "South of Heaven", Iron Maidens "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", Nuclear Assault "Handle with Care", Metallica "Master of Puppets" and Pantera "Vulgar Display of Power."
@@irenadaetwyler7384 there is an interview with Marquis Marky and some metal German interviewer from back in the day interviewing in German. Did Marquis have to switch to standard German or is that something you guys can do in person with other native speakers?
It's so great to see footage that just wasn't available le to me as a rabid fan in Ireland at the time. They had virtually no coverage in UK mags. I remember my brother worked in a drum shop and beaking of school one Friday to meet him. He was playing No More Colour when I arrived. My life changed.
In 1987, when I was 15, a friend of mine came home to Louisiana from the Summer in Germany with a copy of "Punishment" and "Colour" on cassette. He made his parents stop at my house ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM THE AIRPORT, put them in my hands and my life was changed forever. I wore out 3 copies of "Vortex" by 1992.
Kinda funny how all the attention is on Marky and Tommy and Nice Guy Ron just sits there, smiling. Watched them and met them a couple of times in the last few years and Ron is the guy I always love to talk with (mostly about Rush, haha), though Tommy seems like the most talkative/communicative of them all, actually. I remember I gave Marky to sign me my Apollyon Sun "Sub" CD and he was like "WTF? Who heard of or listens to this in 2012?", laughing. Than we talked a bit about some 8-bit Coroner covers on the internet and he got really itchy to go listen how those sound. This is my favorite band and by far. I love each and every record with (ironically) "Grin" there at the top and "Punishment..." actually at the bottom, haha.
You did a stellar job on this downfall Network I love your approach in this video as you give the facts of the group in the best possible way and that is with your opinion on things I also love mental Vortex and it's my favorite album and I love the song metamorphosis I was like you were I thought it was just going to be a boring band I can't believe I never got into him in the 80s, 80s freak I love Slayer Megadeth and yes Celtic Frost but I gave this band a chance because I seen them on rock festival from 2018 I believe when I heard the song metamorphosis I was smitten as it kicked my ass thoroughly and I wanted more the next one I want is Rip gold-plated Edition there's a killer place where I live in Seattle called silver platter records and they have every CD you could possibly want practically they also have the second album gold-plated I'm going to buy that one as well I want every single one of them the one I'm a little skeptical about is the album grin I'm going to purchase it as well I want all five of their discography and I do want to get the first unofficial album as well mainly because Tom G Warrior from Celtic Frost is singing on songs one two and four I believe and I'm a huge Celtic Frost band and also a corner fan for life and also a fan of downfall networks your channel is awesome keep it coming man🎉❤😊
An amazing band, so technically and conceptually ahead of it’s time. Without a doubt one of my all time favs, Punishment for Decadence and No More Colour got my into them after seeing Masked Jackal on a show called Rage in ‘89 as a 14 yr old in Sydney… love my thrash and these guys are legends for me… Mental Vortex and Grin continued the amazing evolution… I loved their progression personally! Been waiting for the new album since 2017, guys I beg you please release it one day I’ll be one of my he first in line to buy it d/l it! ;)
Grin is fantastic people: it’s not at all industrial which is what I’ve seen it partially dubbed many times in the past. Maybe the clips made first time listeners say this idk but it kicks ass...
I was 17 years old I saw them in Oakland! I made a charcoal sketch of Tommy T baron. I remember Celtic frost. I’m almost 50 years old now but amazing Switzerland band. I ordered a T-shirt and sent wrong postage stamps but from Switzerland I received postage stamps back along with the T shirt! Really amazing whoever they were in Switzerland ❤️❤️ San Francisco California here
I'm just absolutely speechless about this series, there's so much dedication and passion put in each and every one of your videos. I just discovered your channel and have quite some stuff to look into, i'll probably find some new bands as well.. Greetings from Switzerland!
Tommy went to jazz school!! I knew it! Those chord progressions are pure jazz especially the ones on mental vortex. Songs like sirens and Semtex revolution have some spicy chords
Grin is the second best coroner album after Mental Vortex in my opinion. I wish they had continued in that direction, I would love to hear more even weirder Coroner albums!
DRIFTER,another great swiss band and also APOCALYPSE !! ALONG WITH THE GREAT GODLIKE ALBUM OF "CALHOUN CONQUER" Amazing,amazing Band,sadly they dissapear after a mini and a full LP !! PLEACE,if you like the best of VOIVOD,you will Love Calhoun Conquer,i promise,very unique and skillful !!
I'm still frustrated how this band wasn't bigger, but at least they gained a lot of modern exposure from Brutal Legend. I must admit, I was surprised when I heard Skeleton on your shoulder in the game. Whoever worked on the soundtrack knew their shit.
What I like about an album like "Punishment For Decadence" is the fact that even though they really are playing brutal and proggy thrash metal they still are kinda straightforward, unlike Voivod or so. Also they sound very sharp and clean like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax or Testament and not all over the place like early Kreator,early Sodom, Voivod, Virus, early Sepultura or Wehrmacht. Don't get me wrong, I also like me some crusty, snarling production but this is cool,too.
I tend to look at the compilation album like an EP and throw out all the not new songs. They also have a trippy electronic style album called the unknown which is cool if you're into their more ambient soundscape shit. Also I'm with Marky, they shouldn't make a new album and fuck up what's near to a perfect discography.
Grin is a masterpiece. Funny that Tommy played in the horrible Kreator era, because he got Grin right. Grin was a breath of fresh air is a genera that was getting stale quite honestly, and of course imploded around this time. It gets way too little recognition. It was great of them to push the envelope and make an album like Grin.
I was at that concert from the one live footage in switzerland... Warum haben Sie so untypische Namen für Schweizer? those are unusal names for swiss guys.. Haha they talk in Schwitzerdütsch. I often see Tom G Warrior at Festivals or concerts in Switzerland but i'm unworthy to talk to him, lol
To make a great episode the discog has to usually be decently long and have a rich history. I can make do without either of those if I obsess over that band enough that i think i can make it a good episode.
I did not know this. Not shocking, I dont claim to know very much about all the bands I like. Late comer to Death's excellence, I was 11 when SPIRITUAL HEALING dropped. Thanks for the info!

For me it's Rush 1974 to 1981 and Coroner everything they did. Technical perfectionism.
No More Color and Mental Vortex are two of my favorite metal records. BTW, "D.O.A." usually stands for dead on arrival, not "dead or alive". Im stoked they got back together and hope they get to NYC. haven't seen them since around '91-92. Great band.

That feel when you're german and actually need the english subtitles to understand what they're saying. Frickin swiss...
Swiss-German is one hell of a language, and I say it as a Swiss myself lol (French-speaking part)

Good to see another true Coroner fanatic!
Great band!!!! I remember bringing in "'Masked Jackal" to my guitar teacher to transcribe. Haha. It was like 1990.
It's so great to see footage that just wasn't available le to me as a rabid fan in Ireland at the time. They had virtually no coverage in UK mags.
I remember my brother worked in a drum shop and beaking of school one Friday to meet him. He was playing No More Colour when I arrived.
My life changed.
Dude you say “best of all time” for every band
In 1987, when I was 15, a friend of mine came home to Louisiana from the Summer in Germany with a copy of "Punishment" and "Colour" on cassette. He made his parents stop at my house ON THEIR WAY HOME FROM THE AIRPORT, put them in my hands and my life was changed forever.
I wore out 3 copies of "Vortex" by 1992.
The solo in serpent moves is one of my favorite solos of all time.
Saw them in Denver Colorado like '88. Great band!
Semtex Revoluation is my favorite song from Coroner that solo is just killer
Kinda funny how all the attention is on Marky and Tommy and Nice Guy Ron just sits there, smiling.

They need to revive this channel…
Coroner are incredible. Brilliant musicians and thinkers. I love every Coroner album but my favorite is Mental Vortex.

Grin is fantastic people: it’s not at all industrial which is what I’ve seen it partially dubbed many times in the past. Maybe the clips made first time listeners say this idk but it kicks ass...
D.O.A. Dead On Arrival
This is 30 minutes of information my soul absorbed and is very greatful.
I was 17 years old I saw them in Oakland! I made a charcoal sketch of Tommy T baron. I remember Celtic frost. I’m almost 50 years old now but amazing Switzerland band. I ordered a T-shirt and sent wrong postage stamps but from Switzerland I received postage stamps back along with the T shirt!

Greetings from Switzerland!
Their sound is timeless in the most literal sense.
Overall, this is a great video about Corner. An amazing band that gets very little attention in the mainstream.
4:47 Voivod, Coroner and Watchtower. Nailed it. Then there's Sadus, Anacrusis, Deathrow and Skeptic Sense.
Najlepszy zespół wszech czasów !!!
Dokładnie tak💪🤘
A fan since Day One & still my favourite thrash band by a country mile. Outstanding vid sir. Kia kaha \m/
Fantastic material, thanks a lot.
Great music, great band, great people. I remember the red eyes after playing...
They always had a good sound and Tom Vetterli is a fantastic guitar player; he played good for numerous others also.
I opened for Coroner back in 1991 or 2. I forget. In Rhode Island. They were incredibly tight.
one of my fav thrash bands too.....extremily underrated!!
Tommy went to jazz school!! I knew it! Those chord progressions are pure jazz especially the ones on mental vortex. Songs like sirens and Semtex revolution have some spicy chords
Grin is the second best coroner album after Mental Vortex in my opinion. I wish they had continued in that direction, I would love to hear more even weirder Coroner albums!
Love this band!!!! Remember they actually would play the Masked Jackal video on Headbangers Ball back in the day.
Marky hand picked his replacement, Diego is a long time friend of the band and fits fuckin perfectly
Awesome documentary !
The Necrophagist of thrash.
My favorite band of all time.
It’s crazy that this channel still has 31k subs (me included) and hasn’t done anything in 4 years
If these guys made an album today I think it would be incredible.
Well, hopefully we'll find out soon!
Its meant to come out this year. It is recorded! But who knows@@mycubiclepenguin868
Son of Lilith my favorite ❤️❤️
Calhoun Conquer was amazing too
Highly underrated band and musicians!!!!!
You should do more thrash bands for these retrospectives.
DRIFTER,another great swiss band and also APOCALYPSE !! ALONG WITH THE GREAT GODLIKE ALBUM OF "CALHOUN CONQUER" Amazing,amazing Band,sadly they dissapear after a mini and a full LP !!
PLEACE,if you like the best of VOIVOD,you will Love Calhoun Conquer,i promise,very unique and skillful !!
I'm still frustrated how this band wasn't bigger, but at least they gained a lot of modern exposure from Brutal Legend. I must admit, I was surprised when I heard Skeleton on your shoulder in the game. Whoever worked on the soundtrack knew their shit.
I believe it was the Omni Oakland I saw them. Punishment for decadence
What I like about an album like "Punishment For Decadence" is the fact that even though they really are playing brutal and proggy thrash metal they still are kinda straightforward, unlike Voivod or so. Also they sound very sharp and clean like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax or Testament and not all over the place like early Kreator,early Sodom, Voivod, Virus, early Sepultura or Wehrmacht.

Also I'm with Marky, they shouldn't make a new album and fuck up what's near to a perfect discography.
New album will be release in 2023
Are they ever gonna write at least one "new" song???
I think the album "GRIN" is one of the best metal albums ever!
2:17 What's that song??? Sounds really good 🤘
D.O.A. stands for Dead On Arrival.
tsjuder retrospective 🤘👹🤘
Totentanz means Death Dance
Coroner and Type O Negative are the only bands that covered The Beatles right i think.
hundreds have covered the beatles
@@TheRetroDen80s he said "covered the Beatles RIGHT."
All of that is up to the listener, whether or not they like it.
Their first three albums. Shelve the latter 2
I think the negative about this band it is the sound of their albums I wish they could be remastered/mixed, etc…
I think even for nowadays standards the recording quality is great, at least for mental vortex and grin
Excellent band. Insane musicianship.
Man, I gotta check these guys out. All their albums sounds like thrashterpeices.
Grin is a masterpiece. Funny that Tommy played in the horrible Kreator era, because he got Grin right. Grin was a breath of fresh air is a genera that was getting stale quite honestly, and of course imploded around this time. It gets way too little recognition. It was great of them to push the envelope and make an album like Grin.
What is the first song in the background?
Oh FUCK yes!!!
Exposed, cancelled, blocked, reported.
I was at that concert from the one live footage in switzerland... Warum haben Sie so untypische Namen für Schweizer? those are unusal names for swiss guys..
Haha they talk in Schwitzerdütsch.
I often see Tom G Warrior at Festivals or concerts in Switzerland but i'm unworthy to talk to him, lol
Their names are nicknames, actually their real names are Tommy Vetterli, Ron Broder and Mark Edelmann
good review.. btw decadence is pronounced dekadense
I wonder if he'll ever cover Demolition Hammer or Sadus
They wouldn't make good episodes.
maybe, but something tells me they would be entertaining
To make a great episode the discog has to usually be decently long and have a rich history. I can make do without either of those if I obsess over that band enough that i think i can make it a good episode.
in that case, would Defleshed be a possible candidate?
No
Decadence is pronounced with a hard first C and a soft second C.
Deicide retrospective????
You couldn't open up with a better riff
Apparently death was influenced by this band
I did not know this. Not shocking, I dont claim to know very much about all the bands I like. Late comer to Death's excellence, I was 11 when SPIRITUAL HEALING dropped. Thanks for the info!
@@saltpeter7429 cheers
Have you done one about venom, if not could you?
I don't know what you are saying but to me, Grin is the most Coroner outcome
Satan retrospective at some point ?
Corona?
Totentanz = german for Death Dance
DOA stands for dead on arrival no dead or alive.
