CORONER - Grin (1993)


MMM

Conceived in the dark years of the early 1990's, like so many others Coroner suddenly felt the need to do something 'different'. I've never really worked out why that was, but it was a scene wide knee jerk reaction to the Grunge-era, and one which finished many a band's career. One such band was Coroner, the Swiss band who had thus far released four sterling Thrash Metal albums with a strong sense of musicality and originality. Truth be told, Grin is a good album, but it's so dark and despressed that whereas the songs on their own might excite, taken as a whole the album is something akin to quicksand. With that in mind it's impossible to give this one more than a middle of the road '3'.
