Legendary Swiss thrashers CORONER - who feature bassist Ron Royce (aka Ron Broder) and guitarist Tommy Vetterli (aka Tommy T. Baron; ex-KREATOR) and drummer Marquis Marky (aka Marky Edelmann; ex-APOLLYON SUN) - played their first US reunion concert at the Maryland Deathfest on Sunday, May 29th in Baltimore, Maryland. Fan-filmed video footage of their performance including their cover of the JIMI HENDRIX classic can be viewed below:

Marquis Marky was guest on Tony Webster's (ARCHETYPE singer) The Metal Command radio show last Friday, April 15th. The audio from the chat is currently streaming on the player below:

A few excerpts from the chat follow:

On current state of the band: "We're practicing and rehearsing. For me personally, I didn't play the drums like this for 15 years. We started back last September and it sounds quite good, but it was a lot of work. Very painful actually. It was a total time-warp and the songs seemed to be programmed in me. It was quite a trip."

About a new studio album: "We never really thought about that because we've been too busy getting ready for the shows. I don't know, I can not say right now. There's no talk about this right now. We are concentrating on playing those live shows and whatever happens later I have no idea. I really can't say because there's no time to think about it."

Reissuing back-catalog: "I was surprised because I was trying to buy a CD recently and was told that you could not buy them anymore. It would be a good idea. Basically you can download everything. Just like the vinyl days, I like to have something in my hand. It's still different than a downloaded file on your computer. Last year we started working on a home video which will have all of our video recordings from the past with interviews. Probably next year we will put out something."
