After more than three decades, Swiss pioneering technical Metallers Coroner return with a new studio album: “Dissonance Theory” will be released on October 17th, 2025 worldwide via Century Media Records.
To kick off the campaign for Coroner’s upcoming release, a first new single entitled “Renewal” is being made available today: Coroner – Renewal (Official Music Video)
Guitarist, songwriter and producer Tommy Vetterli comments on the band’s new music: “I thought a lot about what Coroner should sound like today, but I pretty quickly realized that looking backwards wouldn’t serve us. Of course, over time you develop a certain signature as a musician. So even if the material is new, it might still feel like a bridge to earlier phases – simply because it’s me writing it. That said, we didn’t set out to continue a legacy. We just wanted to create something honest and grounded in the present. ‘Renewal’ now opens the chapter for what became the first Coroner album I’m fully satisfied with, start to finish. So we’ll let the music speak for itself – you’ll know if it speaks to you.”
“Dissonance Theory” contains 10 new songs across 47 minutes, recorded by Tommy Vetterli at New Sound Studios in Switzerland and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, etc.). The album’s cover artwork was created by Stefan Thanneur. Here is the standard track-listing of the upcoming album:
