Owning only the first two albums released by Coroner, I am far from an expert on the band, and was quite lucky that they decided to play a lot of their early material.
I spent quite a lot of time during Coroner’s set struggling to attain decent pictures, maybe this was a combination of the beer and excessive smoke used, but maybe it was because visually, they weren’t all that exciting. Don’t get me wrong, they were astonishingly tight as a band and the music sounded great, but there just didn’t seem to be all that much movement and enthusiasm present, which isn’t what I was expecting.
I really enjoyed the set, especially the songs I was familiar with, but I do feel that sometimes bands should try and remember the reasons why they started playing music, and how it was fun before being work. Band recognition alone is enough for a headline tour, but festivals are different and require more effort to win over potential fans not familiar with the bands material.
The songs were played with precision and executed with perfection. They had a good sound out front, I enjoyed the gig, and have listened to Punishment for Decadence since returning from the festival. They lacked visually.
7/10
