Radio Metal reports:

CORONER's fans who were at the Hellfest this year were stunned to discover banners announcing Coroner as part of the 2011 edition of the festival, including the special mention “reunion show”. Stunned, because since they split up in 1995, this mythical progressive thrash metal band has always made it clear that there’s no way they would reunite. To the great displeasure of the fans who resigned, even if they kept on dreaming of seeing what was impossible becoming possible. Therefore, when they stumbled upon this ad they inevitably pinched themselves just to be sure they were not dreaming again.

This Swiss band, composed with Ron Broder (aka Ron Royce), Tommy Vetterli (aka Tommy T. Baron), and Marky Edelmann (aka Marquis Marky), has put out some of the greatest and most innovative music the metal world has ever known. In that regard, they became one of the most respected bands from the connoisseurs. Listen to such marvels like Mental Vortex or Grin: these albums are still ahead of our time.

Coroner's presence at the 2011 Hellfest programming leads automatically to thousands of questionings. Therefore, we at Radio Metal tried to get some more information. By chance, at the same festival this year, Tommy Vetterli was here to help 69 CHAMBERS out – the band of his lovely wife-to-be – bringing a little bit of his own magic to the stage. One of our performing monkeys caught Tommy right after the show in order to have a little chat with him. All the answers to the fans' questions are here to be found, even though they are probably not what they expect... The least we can say is that Tommy is both a chilled out and quite frank person. He is not the kind of man who wonders too much, it is at least the way we felt meeting him. But when he has to answer questions he does not beat about the bush! He also made some revelations about KREATOR, a band he has joined for two really controversial albums, and especially about its leader, Mille Petrozza, which are… quite a surprise!
