Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Grin' marks Coroner's departure from hyper-speed technical thrash towards a much slower, incredibly dark and rhythmic progressive metal sound. The album is highly complex and cold, utilizing heavy groove metal riffs and uncommon time signatures to deliver deeply serious and cryptic avant-garde metal.
