The story of one of the most talented power trios in metal begins with a band called Diamond. Before bassist Ron Royce (Ron Broder) and guitarist Tommy T. Baron (Tommy Vetterli) formed Coroner, they were playing in a traditional heavy rock band by the name of Diamond. After only about three gigs in total, Ron and Tommy left because they wanted to start their own band. “That’s why we began looking for a drummer,” explains the guitarist. “A friend of ours, a fellow musician, knew that Marky (Marquis Marky, real name Markus Edelmann) was looking for a guitarist and a bassist, so he introduced us.” So, Coroner as we know them today was born.

The first result of Tommy, Ron and Marky working together was the »Death Cult« demo, featuring “Spectators Of Sin”, “Spiral Dream”, “Aerial Combat” and “The Invincible”. “When I listen to it today, of course, I find it a bit funny at times,” laughs Tommy Vetterli. “But back then, we were still searching for our own sound, and we just composed freely, doing whatever we felt like and what gave us joy. It is what it is.“
