NO MORE COLOR

From then on, Coroner truly separated themselves from the vast majority of thrash and heavy metal, in general, bands. The term "The Rush of Thrash Metal" that follows or comes before their monicker is not accidental. On No More Colour every effort to pinpoint some songs or moments as highlights is totally futile. From the frantic guitar lines of Tom Vetterli (who truly shines) of the opener Die By My Hand to the cinematic Last Enertainment that closes the album the music in there never falls from the top. Coroner put to good use their flawless technique and tremendous sense of music to make an album that will be commemorated and adored forever. It's hard to say why it hasn't gained the status of other, undeniably, landmark thrash albums. Perhaps No More Colour was too progressive with these off- the-wall rhythm and meter changes and blazing solos for the fans to feel connected with it. Oh, did I mention that the band wanted on their third album to be less complex than their previous two ones because they thought that it would be more beneficial when it came to live shows?

No More Colour (perhaps the title and also the cover have to do with the lyrics which are quite dismal) was the first of three successive albums that there is not a single superfluous note. Beat that.
