No More Color is the third album by Swiss thrash metal band Coroner, released on 18 September 1989 by Noise Records.
Musical style
[edit | edit source]No More Color was the album where Coroner started to truly "progress", as the songs are still similar to their older, speedy, European thrash metal but start to feature elements of the avant-garde progressive thrash of their later albums, akin to the band's then-labelmates Watchtower. This album also features very proficient instrumentation and incorporation of elements from genres such as jazz fusion, progressive rock and classical music, which would later be an influence on the evolution and maturity of the experimental side of heavy metal, including acts such as Death.
Reissues
[edit | edit source]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, with additional photographs of the band and memorabilia.
Track listing
[edit | edit source]All lyrics are written by Marquis Marky, except where noted; all music is composed by Tommy T. Baron and Ron Royce.
