In 1986, bassist Ron Royce (Ron Broder), guitarist Tommy T. Baron (Tommy Vetterli) and drummer Marquis Marky (Markus Edelmann) issued their first demo tape »Death Cult« with the help of Celtic Frost’s Tom Gabriel Fischer on vocals (Fischer was also responsible for the lyrics).
A short while later, in early 1987, Zürich’s avantgarde metal pioneers inked a deal with Noise Records from Berlin. By that time, bassist Ron Royce had decided to take on the role as the lead singer of Coroner himself.
The first result was »R.I.P.«, the band’s debut album, which was issued in June 1987, receiving very good press feedback.
