Coroner

Great band, should be under tech/extreme prog metal.

No More Colour, Mental Vortex and Grin are all interesting albums and great technical metal. I think they´ve been rejected once though. Too bad as they were a pretty groundbreaking band in those days. Those solos always makes me wanna grap my guitar and practice ´till my fingers bleed. So powerful yet melodic.

Well maybe the other 4 members feel differently about it ?

OK it sounds like you´ve tried your best with Coroner. That´s the way it is right ? You win some and you lose some.

Good band i have their discography, very blistering solos, Totentanz is a great prog (for me) track

Sorry if I insist on a dead-like topic, but I can hardly understand, despite of some reasons written here, why Coroner is not in the PA database.
Frankly, if PA includes Pestilence, Voivod, Atheist or Cynic, it should also include Coroner, for they are the very creators of tech-thrash. In the nineties, the Swiss trio was linked to the first bands I've quoted by metal critics and fans.
They may not have recorded twenty-minutes epics, but neither did Pestilence or Cynic. Moreover, it had been said that Coroner was "thrash with jazz tendencies"... Same things were said about the other bands in the reviews of these times.
Plus, they covered the Beatles and Jimi Hendix: isn't it proggy enough? (Irony inside)

Having been partially responsible for the prog metal split, I'll throw in my 2 cents:

Having a category like "Tech/Extreme Prog Metal" is a cool thing, but it wasn't meant to include any metal band which happens to play technical stuff. "Technical" can mean "difficult to play" ... but that alone is not enough to make a band prog. At least not for me ... others may find that technical ability alone is sufficient.

For me a band is suitable for Tech/Extreme should of course have superior musicians, and the music usually contains stuff that's difficult to play. But the music should also be experimental and/or incorporate elements of Jazz/Fusion (acoustic interludes are not enough), or it should contain obvious references to classical prog (Opeth being the perfect example). I've only heard some samples of Coroner, but from what I heard there's simply not enough prog in their music other than its technical level.

They did indeed listen to a whole album - the self-titled collection from 96 or something - and was given a pretty accurate description as this being a cross-section from the entire career; and that I could send over the individual albums for closer inspection if anything sounded interesting in a prog sort of way. Besides, it shows the bands development pretty well - and contains quite a few of what I consider being the band's proggiest moments.

Coroner were hugely influential on Cynic, I remember seeing Shawn Malone sporting Coroner shirts all the time,  

This is what they listened to now - with the "instructions" as listed. What were done on the first eval I don't know, and for all I know more albums may have been investigated on second eval as well; but I sent them the one as specified with instructions as specified ;-)
