CORONER: Punishment For Decadence Vinyl LP

Punishment for Decadence is the sophomore album from Swiss Technical Thrash pioneers, Coroner. Released in 1988, this LP solidified the band?s unique progressive approach, refining the raw intensity of their debut with more sophisticated structures and a cleaner production aesthetic. Featuring dizzying, jazz-influenced rhythms and complex guitar work from Tommy T. Baron, the album showcases the trio?s immense technical proficiency on tracks like "Shadow of a Lost Dream" and the cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze."
