Coroner is a Swiss thrash metal band from Zürich formed in 1983, better known for the lineup formed in 1985. They garnered relatively little attention outside of Europe. The band broke up in 1996, but reunited in 2010.
Coroner's music combines elements of thrash, classical music, avant-garde music, progressive rock, jazz, and industrial metal with suitably gruff vocals. With their increasingly complex style of progressive rock-infused thrash, they have been called "the Rush of thrash metal", and along with Voivod and Watchtower, the band has been credited for helping pioneer the subgenre of "technical thrash metal" (also called "progressive thrash metal") during the mid-to-late 1980s. Coroner's sound then progressed and the production became more refined, resulting in a more progressive sound on later albums such as "No More Color" (1989), "Mental Vortex" (1991) and "Grin" (1993). After more than a decade since reuniting, and of performing as mainly a live act, Coroner's first studio album in 32 years, "Dissonance Theory", is due for release on October 17, 2025
