Coroner To Release Retrospective DVD
In a recent interview with RadioMetal.com, Tommy Vetterli, guitarist of reunited Swiss thrash metal outfit Coroner, revealed that the band has been recording shows for a future live album and also plan to release a career spanning DVD in the future. An excerpt from the interview reads as follows:
Q: You know, there are a lot of expectations from the fans, now that they have seen Coroner live…
A: "They want an album!"
Q: Absolutely! I met a few fans after your show and they were all on their knees, so blown away by what they saw and they were like 'man, they got a do an album after that!'
A: "Yeah, like I said before there are no plans. We might write one song or two and record and produce them. I actually want to do it but the other guys don’t want to do an album for now. I’ll have to try to convince them. I can’t do this without them. Besides, we’re working on a DVD with live stuff, new and old, interviews, etc. Then, yeah, we’ll see."
Q: And did you plan to record a show to release a live album?
A: "Yes. We recorded last night. Actually we record all the shows that we play and then we’ll compile them into a live album."

Pharaoh Post Another New Song Online
PHARAOH, the American heavy metal band featuring vocalist Tim Aymar (CONTROL DENIED), has made available a second song from its upcoming album, entitled "Be Gone".
