A cracking record, full of complex song structures and a bizarre cover version of The Beatle's 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)'. This has all the crunch a quality thrash album requires but the complexities on offer here are quite staggering, the band shifting the mood and soundscapes with arrogant ease, one moment speeding through an array of quality European thrash assault, the next spewing out some seriously accessibly grooves, check out the brilliant 'Son Of Lilith' and 'Pal Sister' for original thrash. The Swiss trio certainly made their mark as one of the most influential albeit ignored thrash bands, combining the unpredictable sharpness of early Voivod, with the technical prowess of Atheist and Anacrusis. Coroner will never let you down, and their catalogue is one of the most worthwhile and consistent in metal.
8.5/10
