Technical Thrash Metal
In a 2011 interview for the Greek Metal Hammer, Marquis Marky claimed that Mercyful Fate was the most important band in shaping Coroner's sound. Listening to their debut "R.I.P." such a thing is not obvious. It's an interesting mix of wild, technical thrash, what Mercyful Fate?
The question will be answered when you listen to this demo. There are no vocals ala King Diamond of course, on the contrary, the microphone is subjected to the grunts of Tom G. Warrior's (of Hellhammer / Celtic Frost / Triptykon fame), who was a friend of the band and responsible for them finding a home in Noise later. However, the style and playing of the compositions are totally in the heavy metal style of Mercyful Fate. Obviously, you will not find here the divine soloing of Michael Denner or King's other-wordliness. Those are replaced by a dose of Celtic Frost, due to the vocals obviously but also the influence, which is very prominent on the last song of the demo, Invincible.
The demo itself is a fine specimen of dark heavy metal, with a sound infinitely better than the dubbed tape (nth generation) that I had in my possession for years, which proves to be a highly enjoyable listen. You can definitely hear the first glimpses of Coroner, albeit in embryonic form, but the result is far away from their later thrash course, before they speed up and hone their playing abilities.
That change is evident in the bonus tracks, three of them included in this version. You can hear the Coroner we know on those, excellent songs all of them (so, unreleased tracks that COUNT). Hate, Fire, Blood sound-wise belongs in the company of the "R.I.P." songs. Arrogance in Uniform was previously available only on the Doomsday News compilation by Noise (vol.I, all three volumes were quite wonderful by the way) and it's so good it would stand out even on "Punishment for Decadence", while Final Excretion, comes from the Punishment for Decadence pre-production demo.
This version is absolutely essential to any fan of the band, completist or not, particularly those who prefer their more straight-forward thrash years but it would also appeal to fans of Warrior…by Dungeon_Vic, metal-archives.com
