Mental Vortex
Mental Vortex is the fourth album by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner, released on 12 August 1991.
Musical style
Mental Vortex continues Coroner's experimental approach established in its predecessor, No More Color, blending thrash metal with progressive, jazz fusion, and avant-garde influences. About the album's direction, Eduardo Rivadavia of AllMusic claims, "Unbridled speed and aggression were replaced by highly technical and unconventional songwriting."Reissues
After being out of print for many years, Noise/BMG reissued the album in 2018, remastered with the same track list in a digipack CD case, including additional photographs of the band and memorabilia.Track listing
