Actually Craig,that song "Last Entertainment" is from the band's 3rd album,in my opinion it is not a good representation of this band,but thats only my opinion.I only like the first album "R.I.P." from 1987...after this album they "changed thier style". Listen to this track "Reborn Through Hate"...skip the intro and start this track at the 1:26 mark...thats where track # 2 comes in and is the first full length track on the album. 

This is Coroner's strengths. This is why I posted they remind me of a cross between old Iron Maiden's vocalist Paul Di'Anno and Tom G.Warrior of Celtic Frost,and actually some of these riffs,again not all of them but some of these riffs even remind me of Iron Maiden mixed with Celtic Frost.A great debut album and is Coroner's best LP by FAR.

		Very strange stuff. They have an "evil" sound. The vocals are quite unusual as well. Not a typical thrash band, but I like what I heard.      J.D.

I'm not to big on anything they released after this debut album but I will say along with you Steve that this band especially this album kicks serious balls and should be picked up by everyone who loves thrash metal. A+ in my book.     (Quoting Message by Steve Forrest from Tuesday, December 08, 2009 3:27:36 PM)   Steve Forrest wrote:   Painkiller, you forgot to add Coroner to the name of this thread. They were just as good, if not better, than the other 3, and just as important in the German thrash scene of the 80's. Edited at: Wednesday, December 09, 2009 4:55:13 AM

I don't think Tom's voice sounds "dorky" at all.Maybe your not into thrash,its not for you so be it. And I thought the Metallica versions were lame,just not for me,so be it eh? lol!

		It's ok JD but to me Lemmys voice is a crucial part of what makes Motorhead the band they are. That dorky kraut accent kind of ruins it. If you check out that Best Motorhead Tribute thread, that band sound a bit like Lemmy as well, it's pretty cool. What do you think of Metallicas tribute to Lemmy on his 50th when they recorded Overkill, Damage Case, No Class and Stone Dead Forever?      J.D.
