Coroner - Die By My Hand

Shining metal
Arc of light
Red eyes
Smell of fear
Deep cut
Red stream
On white skin
In slow-motion

Stop time
Close your lips
Keep the word
Lay down and sleep
With bleeding heart
I'll take you away
Save you from
The claws of time

Die by my hand, die by my hand

Now you are
A crystal rose
Frozen for
Eternity
Down on my knees
Caress your body
Inside my head
In slow-motion

Stop time
Close your lips
Keep the word
Lay down and sleep
With bleeding heart
I'll take you away
Save you from
The claws of time

Die by my hand, die by my hand
Die by my hand———————————————————————

Coroner's third album in as many years continued the band's rapid evolution in style and offered some much-needed improvement in production values. While hardly their best-produced recording, No More Color has a cleaner, crisper sound quality than its predecessors and contains what was easily the group's finest songwriting up to that point. In their continual quest for perfection, the band further honed their craft, bulking up their sound while continuing to experiment with unusual time signatures and jazz-like chord progressions. It's interesting to note that unlike so many bands who attempt to streamline their songwriting, Coroner is one of the few groups to greatly benefit from the process. "Read My Scars" is an excellent example of this. A textbook lesson in dynamics, the song exhibits breakneck tempo changes and swirling instrumental passages within the confines of a relatively simple (but highly memorable) main riff. As journalist Steffan Chirazi noted at the time, "Coroner display a healthy ability to grab hold of parts that don't really make too much sense as separates and turn them into superb, rolling compositions. This band has every right to be as big as Slayer." Sadly, that level of success would never happen. But Coroner would continue to develop their work and quietly take their place as one of the world's most innovative and underrated bands.

Kickass album, kickass band. I hope they come back with a vengeance.

In my opinion some of the greatest thrash songs are the following:

Exodus-Bonded by blood

Kreator-bonebreaker

Testament-trial by fire

Overkill-elimination
