DISSONANCE THEORY [Limited Release]

Coroner’s Dissonance Theory is not a nostalgic cash-in but a bold, renewed manifesto from a band that never fully left the experimental alley of thrash. The record moves with a surgical precision - riffs that brace you, rhythms that shift without warning, and atmospheres thick with tension. The inclusion of Diego Rapacchietti breathes fresh energy into the drum department, and Bogren’s mixing sculpted clarity even in the densest passages. Tracks like “Sacrificial Lamb” and “Symmetry” entwine classic Coroner fretwork with fresh progressive twists, while “Transparent Eye” and “Prolonging” show the band unafraid to breathe, let space speak, and then strike again. Where Grin was enigmatic and daring, Dissonance Theory feels resolved - a return not to the past but forward from it. At forty-odd minutes, it’s lean and vital, a statement that Coroner still have surprises left.
