Exhume to Commune


Following hot on the heels of the induction of No More Color into the hallowed Hall of Fame, Decibel contributor Etan Rosenbloom probes deeper into the (surprisingly supple) risen corpse of Coroner in this interview with Ron Royce and Marky Edelmann for the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.

I could try to find clever ways to allude to the 7/8-5/4 time signature parsing or the discovery of the formula that gives tech-thrash a deathly groove or how Tom G. Warrior ended up singing on the Death Cult demo, but all you really need to know about Rosenbloom’s piece is that it starts with a discussion about playing air guitar in the heavy metal discos of circa-1982 Zurich.

If that doesn’t send you a-clicking, nothing will.
