CORONER shares single 'Renewal'
Announce new studio album “Dissonance Theory”
18-08-2025
After more than three decades, Swiss pioneering technical metallers CORONER return with a new studio album: “Dissonance Theory” will be released on October 17, 2025 worldwide via Century Media Records. To kick off the campaign for CORONER‘s upcoming release, a first new single is relased aptly titled “Renewal”, accompanied by a video clip directed by Dariusz Szermanowicz.
Watch “Renewal” below.
CORONER‘s guitarist, songwriter and producer Tommy Vetterli (a.k.a. Tommy T. Baron) checked in with the following comment about the band’s new music: “I thought a lot about what CORONER should sound like today, but I pretty quickly realized that looking backwards wouldn’t serve us. Of course, over time you develop a certain signature as a musician. So even if the material is new, it might still feel like a bridge to earlier phases — simply because it’s me writing it. That said, we didn’t set out to continue a legacy. We just wanted to create something honest and grounded in the present. ‘Renewal’ now opens the chapter for what became the first CORONER album I’m fully satisfied with, start to finish. So we’ll let the music speak for itself — you’ll know if it speaks to you.”
