Official press release:
After more than three decades, Swiss technical thrash pioneer Coroner will be releasing a long-anticipated studio album, Dissonance Theory, on October 17, 2025 via Century Media Records! Pre-orders are now live HERE.
To celebrate the forthcoming opus, the band is now unleashing the ferocious first single, “Renewal”, along with a music video! The clip was directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz and can be found below.
Coroner’s guitarist, songwriter, and producer Tommy Vetterli comments on the new music:
“I thought a lot about what Coroner should sound like today, but I pretty quickly realized that looking backwards wouldn’t serve us. Of course, over time you develop a certain signature as a musician. So even if the material is new, it might still feel like a bridge to earlier phases – simply because it’s me writing it.
That said, we didn’t set out to continue a legacy. We just wanted to create something honest and grounded in the present. ‘Renewal’ now opens the chapter for what became the first Coroner album I’m fully satisfied with, start to finish. So we’ll let the music speak for itself – you’ll know if it speaks to you.”
Dissonance Theory contains ten new songs across 47 minutes, recorded by Tommy Vetterli at New Sound Studios in Switzerland and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, etc.).
The album cover artwork was created by Stefan Thanneur and can be found below along with the tracklisting.
