Additional Notes
There was already an earlier incarnation of Coroner formed between 1983-1985 with Marky and Oliver Amberg, playing some sort of Mötley Crüe styled music. According to Oliver Amberg the band played several gigs and recorded one Demo in 1983 with Amberg on vocals, bass, guitar and Marky on drums. In early 1985 the band split up and was reformed by Marky few months later in a new line up as thrash metal band, known as Coroner again and with the same logo as the old band.
The band reunited in June 2010 as they announced that they will play Hellfest Summer Open Air 2011. Later on they announced more dates in Europe as well as in North America.
Tommy and Marky were roadies for Celtic Frost on the "Tragic Serenades" tour.
Tom G. Warrior (Celtic Frost, Apollyon Sun, Hellhammer, Triptykon) was never a member of Coroner, he only did guest vocals on the "Death Cult" demo.
