Punishment for Decadence LP

Coroner cut Punishment for Decadence in May 1988 at Sky Trak Studios in Berlin, Guy Bidmead behind the board as the Swiss trio pushed their technical thrash further into progressive territory across ten tracks. Ron Broder, Tommy Vetterli, and Marky Edelmann close the record out with a cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze," a sharp left turn that still lands square. The cover art wraps it all in an Auguste Rodin sculpture, stone standing in where the music is all wire and nerve.
