I have to say it's Mental Vortex. I can hear Opeth post Still Life in it (particulary Son of Lilith) Death post Human and don't laugh but I can hear the heavier moments of Dream Theater as well. I don't think the metal world will ever catch up with Grin however.

I'd say No More Color, they were much more popular when it was released and so many bands were influenced by their technical thrash style at the time. As much as I love Mental Vortex and Grin I still think they're under appreciated in the greater scheme of things.

I can remember seeing Paul Masvidal from Cynic wearing a Coroner T-Shirt so you may well be right. I think all the first 3 albums would have been pretty influential to the tech death scene but No More Colour was probably the peak of their technicality and recoreded at the perfect time to be influential to Atheist, Cynic, Death and Nocturnus etc.

I don't really hear that much of an overt influence upon any specific bands, but I do think that their subtle influence is felt across a whole variety of bands striving for intelligence/excellence/darkness ...those bands trying to create that bit more.
Although underrated by the masses, Coroner were (and still are) significantly appreciated in extreme metal circles, which is as it should be.
I think Punishment For Decadence was the most influential in some ways, as it was the first album to reveal the band's depth and versatility - a true masterpiece for the times, sadly not as widely heard as it should have been. SOMEBODY PLEASE RE-MASTER THE MUTHA!!

This is a great question, not easy to answer. I think their work as a whole and overall presence in the scene has had a subtle but profound effect on some artists. As far as specific albums, it's hard to say; different albums would have an influence on different artists, depending on their attitude and relative stage of development. I guess this is what Sirius13 is saying, and I agree. Such was the all-encompassing journey of Coroner. I wonder if some artists might answer this question directly? I don't think the metal world will ever catch up with Grin however. Damn right. However another Swiss band, The Young Gods, have a similar approach to their work, although their methods are completely different. I think Ironfelix knows what I mean. Yes Sirius, all Coroner's albums need to be remastered and re-released as a special promotion. Unfortunately that probably won't happen, because Coroner simply did and does not have the commercial impact that would warrant the effort and expenditure. Such is life. |

I've always thought this was the case... but have you seen the recent re-issues of 'Dreamweaver' & 'History Of A Time To Come' by Sabbat? Great albums from the Noise label, but not exactly mass-market appeal. Maybe there's hope? Just a tiny bit? Please don't kill my hope!  |
