Shipping was the equivalent of $2.50 for the CD. It got here in a week. I'm bummed I didn't get the vinyl but I wanted to see what condition the CD was in when it arrived.

Yeah, that cover is classic. Heavy Load rules. Stronger Than Evil > Death or Glory though imo.

It's a silly argument because not being a huge fan of a particular genre doesn't mean I'm unfamiliar with its musical characteristics. Besides, I was listening to Into Glory Ride and Keeper of the Seven Keys back when you were shitting into diapers and vomiting on your mother brah sonny broheim boyo etc

There's more to power metal than those two albums, Into Glory Ride certainly has nothing in common with the sound I'm describing, and the fact that KOTSK was released the same year as RIP would indicate it wasn't the major kind of influence either. Coroner came at it more from the primary source early Maiden and whatnot. I remember the first time I ever heard RIP (which was my first Coroner album period) I had the faster bridge of Genghis Khan playing in my head all day.

The original second-wave black metal album, good pick.

Besides the vocals there's not much to put this in league with 2nd wave black metal. To me it's more like post punk proto black metal. Either way, remarkable album.

Well second-wave black metal is heavily indebted to post-punk so that is only natural. The level of dissonance and tremolo-picked riffs are definitely at a level that exceeds most post-punk.

Sounds exactly as the cover art looks. I need to find more electronic music like this.

Never heard of this until just now, archival release of 1986 demo recordings. This sounds better than Refuge Denied in a way, rawer but lacking the shitty reverb of the album.

Those albums were clearly just examples I used to indicate that I'm familiar with power metal, nothing to do with whether they influenced Coroner or not. I've never heard of Maiden though. Totally unfamiliar. Like I say, silly argument.
So anyway apparently because RIP reminded you of one passage out of one Maiden song that means it's no longer a thrash album, even though it's been regarded as a thrash album by everyone since it came out 30 years ago.

Do you consider Crionics to be a thrash metal song? I don't know how someone can listen to it, Transylvania, and Spiral Dream and not hear that they all have much more in common with each other than they do with, say, anything Exodus put on their first four albums. Or again, Orphan Gypsy and When Angels Die.
And obviously I'm not saying you haven't heard Iron Maiden, but listening to the general progression of USPM in the early/mid 80s makes it easier to hear the similarities. You hated Omen in one of the song rating threads, right? You'd probably also say I'm crazy to say that Omen and early Slayer had a shit ton in common, even though riff-wise it's obviously the case. Coroner's RIP is built largely on the ideas that define USPM.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Demo Warning sounds like a completely different band but this is awesome.
Dunbarrow - s/t this is really awesome... similar to bands like Burning Saviour
Torpedo - Torpedo Metal really fun and ridiculous
