Dissonance Theory

about this album

Dissonance Theory is the sixth studio album by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner, released on 17 October 2025 through Century Media Records.It is the band's first studio album since Grin (1993), and their first release with drummer Diego Rappachietti, who replaced original drummer Marky Edelmann in 2014. After disbanding in 1996, Coroner announced in 2010 that they were reuniting for a series of festival appearances, including the following year's installments of Maryland Deathfest, Hellfest, and Bloodstock Open Air. Although guitarist Tommy Vetterli had stated that new music from Coroner was a possibility, he said that both vocalist and bassist Ron Broder and drummer Marky Edelmann had no interest in making a new album. On 12 February 2014, Edelmann announced that he would be leaving the band at the end of the month, citing a disinterest in new material, as opposed to Broder and Vetterli; he was replaced three months later by Diego Rapacchietti. In a June 2014 interview with Andrew Haug, Vetterli spoke about the possibility of a new album, saying, "I can't say when a new studio album might arrive. It's just what we want. But everybody's very busy, you know — me producing bands in the studio all the time... If we do something, it has to be very good." In the following year, Broder stated that the band had individually been in the process of collecting songwriting ideas and was hopeful that they would enter the studio in 2016 to begin recording a sixth studio album.
