CORONER - 15 HARDEST GUITAR RIFFS

[@TheBoondoggler]

Coroner is quietly the most musical and technically accomplished thrash metal band in history.

[@nuldorvamoysenor2091]

I like how the average Coroner riff sounds like most band's solos.

[@rayres1074]

As an assiduous listener to prog metal, avant metal, prog rock, extreme metal, and eventually some math core and the likes, Coroner never fails to overwhelm me. Their riffs and rhythm is ridiculously technical to the point I have a hard time digesting it right away. It somehow manages to sound even more unhinged and complex than Atheist or Messhugah. EDIT: No clue what I was won when I wrote this. They're not that deep lmao. If you want to see actual unhinged insanity check the solos on Watchtower's Control and Resistance.

[@stantorren4400]

The guitarist went to jazz school so he knows his shit to a tea

[@profanepropane]

I have almost no idea about advanced music theory so could you explain to me how they're technical even when compared to stuff like atheist

[@rayres1074]

@@profanepropane Well, it was definitely an overstatement, in hindsight. There are moments on Mental Vortex where Coroner is rhythmically very dense and jagged, confusing even, but they're not really as unhinged as Messhugah at all. However, I still believe Coroner has some of the most wickedly difficult riffs I've seen - seriously, look at a top 10 hardest Coroner riffs, shit like Arc-Lite makes me blush in awe

[@profanepropane]

@@rayres1074 yeah arc-lite is a pain especially that ending sweep picking near the end. And also you said that some moments on mental vortex are very "rhythmically dense and jagged" in your words. Can you give an example of this and explain why it's complex

[@rayres1074]

@@profanepropane Oh, it's been a while since I've last listened to Mental Vortex. Couldn't pinpoint any specific moments. Maybe I don't even hold the same opinion anymore haha. But in my mind, Mental Vortex is similarly dense to Messhugah's Contradictions Collapse (which I find to be harder to listen to than their actual avant-metal/djenty stuff because of the constant odd time signatures).

Apple Music has Coroner listed as Pop/Rock. This makes me crave violence.

Your mistake was getting apple music in the first place

[@no_problem8023]

I remember a musically trained friend telling me that Mr. Bungle was basically Rock, and it almost killed my soul.

And Hate Eternal is kizomba gospel

[@steveee1972]

I'm so proud i know this band since late 80's!!

[@kitko33]

I remember seeing the Masked Jackal video for the first time. I know where, I know who was in the room, etc. Watchin in disbelief how Ron plays that downward run. I was listening to Metallica and Helloween at that time so wasn't too keen on thrash but Coroner was bigger than thrash. It was that case when genre is not important and you listen to the music because it's just objectively good and quality stuff.

[@loosecannon7300]

I love coroner, so underated, pale sister is such a hard song to play.

[@techdeath3609]

Coroner is just the most underrated metal band ever. Period !

[@danteonkhu1669]

Underrated by who?

[@BVR-fc9sn]

Well done! Coroner fan since 1988. Saw them with Kreator in Chicago, 1989. Still trying to catch them again now.

Going to see them in Dublin in March. Lifetime achievement unlocked.

[@natronsinister1]

Vetterli is such a phenomenal player nicely done these records were a staple of my youth 👏

[@aeugmk2]

Metal was blessed when Coroner came out and kicked total ass! Great playing man, that is fantastic!

Imagine the time creating it

[@Sgt.ArchDornan]

​@@GodWeenSatana year in between, fucking insane they came out with R.I.P in 87, than Punishment for decadence in 88, then no more color in 89, they mustve been workaholics in those early years

[@sergiodambrosio363]

Awesome! I am speechless... 😬 ...and most of those riffs are played by the bass too! This band is really made of great musicians.

[@beherit3]

One of the most technically talented band ever and yet they don't show off like some modern technical bands I won't name. Coroner writes real music and exciting riffs

[@sergiodambrosio363]

@@beherit3 yes, I agree with you on this! I listen to them since their first album and I have always appreciated them, their first 4 albums in particular. Recently I have also made a bass cover of one of their songs (Masked Jackal), and so I realized even more how good they are! I don't think I will try another one... 😬

[@jonathanlafey4988]

Yeah, buy always the "best" bass players are the same ones; Burton for example....

One of my favorite thrash bands. So unique in there style. It’s not just your average fast you know? It’s more…articulate.

[@OBSOLETE_BEING]

[@IcarusSuite]

Wow. Amazing. I've been obsessed with Coroner for the past three years and it is very sad how overlooked and underrated they are even in KZbin. IMO their riffs are among the most difficult to play in the whole Metal genre. BTW: How come you didn't include that whole section after the solo from Read My Scars?

[@JadeDude1973]

Also check out a kid named Ristridi. His channel is full of Coroner. :)

[@endtyme1345]

INCREDIBLE renditions pal! Tommy Vetterli´s riffs are probably more difficult than his solos LOL!! What he did on Coroner´s discography it´s an absolute masterpiece. Sooo involved in his composition & virtuosism that devoured easily, MOST of thrash guitarists from the 80's/90's era. You should pick some of Necrophagist. What a fabulous guitar work from those guys!(sadly dissapeared.)

[@utopianeconomics5814]

Hey, you're really good at guitar! Much better than I, and I've played with some great musicians, such as Fabio from Annihilator for the new Tides of Technocracy album. One idea I think would be cool but is probably too technical for me to do is "Top Ten Hardest Riffs by Hail the Sun" starting with "Disappearing Syndrome." Cheers!

[@NWO777]

I have been a huge fan of Coroner. IMHO, I think Tommy Vetterli is much better in technical guitar playing than Yngwie. Yngwie may be a neo classical player, but I think Mr. Vetterli takes the win on the more complicated, fast stuff. Yngwie's rhythm is somewhat straight forward. What do you all think?
