Why This Record Is in the Crimson Vinyl Collection 
Coroner were never just another thrash band. They were the thinking man’s metal — technical, progressive, and fearless in pushing boundaries. In the late ’80s and early ’90s they helped shape what would become progressive and technical thrash, influencing countless musicians who came after them. Dissonance Theory is a remarkable return after more than 30 years without a studio album, proving that true innovators never lose their edge. For collectors of serious metal history, this record represents both a continuation of a legendary legacy and a reminder that great bands don’t fade — they evolve.
