Coroner have stated that the band will start recording its new, comeback album in February 2023. The long-awaited follow-up to 1993’s “Grin” will be released sometime in 2023 via Century Media Records.
Guitarist Tommy Veterrli (a.k.a. Tommy T. Baron) said in a recent interview, about songwriting progress on Coroner’s sixth studio album: “We’re working really hard on it at the moment. All the songs have to be finished by mid-December. There’s one song missing. Pre-production needs to be finished by the end of the year. Then, I have recordings for the upcoming ELUVEITIE album. Ron [Broder, a.k.a. Ron Royce, bass] and I are meeting today to make a plan. We will start recording in the second half of February”.
When asked about the music style of the new songs, Veterrli answered: “It’s hard to say. It’s more ‘Grin’ than ‘Reborn Through Hate’. For me, these are songs. It’s a showcase of what we learned and practiced. Everybody who has heard the pre-production, including the record company, is really happy and thinks that’s the way the band should sound. It’s more about feel and is song-oriented. The technical stuff is still there, but not the main thing. It’s going to be weird, like all Coroner songs. My goal is always to do something I didn’t hear one-hundred times before. Most bands are a copy of another band. There are a lot of great bands, but I miss the freshness or originality”.

One of my all-time favorite bands! However, the whole, “we’re gonna do it”
updates are getting tired. Give some sort of an idea or hint about what’s
really up: personal issues, injury, lack of funds, etc. Give us something
other than, “It’s just down to a couple of songs, and once we work it out
we’ll record it”. The last tease was 2022/2023. Here it is the middle of
2024, and nothing. We’ll love ya know matter what, even without a new album,
but there is obviously something more going on than the band is just trying
to work out the songs. It’s time to step up, or let us know that the current plan is to shut up!
Because, that seems to be what’s going on.
