Along with Coroner, I've noticed that several of the best bands out there were also trios. Maybe it's because with less guys it's easier to form a chemistry. Or maybe they're happier because each guy gets more money! Here's a few of them:
Rush
Motorhead
Venom
Triumph
King's X
Voivod (yeah, yeah, only a few albums but still...)
Budgie
Blue Murder
Prong
I'm sure there's more that I can't think of right now. Anyway, just an observation. If there's more you want to add feel free.

Zebra was pretty good for a while, don't know about their last album they came out with a couple of years ago though. But since they could all sing and each play several instruments they were very talented.
Rage was also a trio for a very long time as well, as well as Celtic Frost.

How did I forget Zebra  I heard one track of their most recent album. Pretty good stuff. Their first album is classic. |

How did I forget Zebra Probably because they're not exactly the most prolific band out there: only four studio albums in 20 years (can't believe it's been that long). Hell, I'm surprised you've heard of them! ;D I heard one track of their most recent album. Pretty good stuff. Really? Cool, hadn't heard anything from it, I might eventually get it. Their first album is classic. They kinda went downhill from there ;D I couldn't understand everyone griping over No Tellin' Lies, but I had gotten that album first once I got into them. Now I see how the first album was way ahead of it's time with all the start/stop riffs and tempo changes and all, plus Lies sounds a bit more contemporary. Then 3.V was even more watered down, not being heavy at all. Oh well, they've been around forever. |

If you get to know me well enough, you'll find out I know about a LOT of bands ;D Anyway, you can check out the new track I was talking about, Arabian Nights, plus a bunch of other audio and video goodies from them here: www.thedoor.com/html/media_av.htmlGuess I can add the Police too to this list. Forgot about them. |

If you get to know me well enough, you'll find out I know about a LOT of bands ;D Of course, being into Coroner and all ;D Guess I can add the Police too to this list. Forgot about them. And I forgot about Mama's Boys; duh! (Until Growing Up the Hard Way, when they got a singer; yeech.) I've only got about four of their albums! |

eeeech! how did you not mention SADUS ??  guys, please, go check out an album named ELEMENTS OF ANGER. And - cool to see PRONG listed in there! My fave bands ever are these: SADUS / SONIC YOUTH / KING CRIMSON / CORONER / PRONG > so I guess there are common points here and there! Also KING CRIMSON were a trio at a certain point - even if they were still helped by a number of session players... |

Forgot Sadus was a trio (were they ever NOT at one point? I thought I remember one album when they weren't). I didn't mention King Crimson since they technically aren't a "metal" band, but they definitely had a helluva influence on a lot of metal bands (see Voivod and Forbidden's covers of "21st Century Schizoid Man). Give me the Red or Discipline albums any day of the week and I'm happy. ;D

SADUS became a trio in 1994, when guitarist Rob Moore left the band. They did the RED DEMO and ELEMENTS OF ANGER performing as a trio. The next album, due to 2005, will feature them as a trio too.  |

For me, besides Coroner of course, it's Grand Magus! Great trio.
Most of my favourite bands come in fours & fives though, to be honest!

The Young Gods, Bathory, Winter, I believe Carcass were 3pc at some stage, Armoured Angel, Godflesh (2 men and a drum machine!), Morphine (not metal but too cool not to mention), The Mark of Cain, dare I say Nirvana?, Danzig at some point?
I'll stop now before I enter forbidden territory....
