R.I.P. is the debut album released by the Swiss thrash metal band Coroner on 1 June 1987. This album marks the first chapter of the band's progression (thus it is less focused) and is characterized by raw speed and power (save for the instrumentals), representing an early progressive blend of neoclassical metal and thrash metal.[3]

Notes

[edit]
  • Nosferatu is a synonym for vampire and is the title of film by F.W. Murnau, though it is not known whether this film had a direct influence on Coroner.
  • The intro of "Totentanz" is actually a cover of a bourrée by French composer Robert de Visée (c.1650 – 1725), and was written by A.M. Siegrist.
  • The 12" vinyl and cassette releases by former Canadian record label Cobra Records cuts the track listing short to 8 songs, excluding "Spiral Dream" and the instrumentals and keeping only Nosferatu.
  • The 1993 cassette release by former Italian record label Armando Curcio Editore excludes "Spiral Dream" and the "Outro" song.
