August 12, 1991 β Coroner released their fourth studio album, Mental Vortex via Noise Records. (Listen: Apple Music or Spotify)
The album was recorded at Sky Trak Studio, Berlin (April and June 1991) mixed at Morrisound Recording, Tampa (Florida).
Mental Vortex was produced by Tom Morris with executive production by Karl-U Walterbach. It was mixed by Tom Morris with Sven Conquest. Cover concept by Marquis Marky.
Like their previous releases, Mental Vortex was acclaimed by critics and the public alike. Other than having toured relentlessly for more than half a decade (including the US three times), and all of their music videos receiving airplay on MTV's HeadBangers Ball (Masked Jackal, Last Entertainment and their cover version of the Beatles' I Want You (She's So Heavy) (Watch video) which appears on Mental Vortex), Coroner never achieved much commercial success, which had contributed to the band slowly falling apart during the mid-1990s.
Coroner officially disbanded after a farewell tour consequent (1994) to their self-titled album in January and February 1996, but eventually reunited 15 years after their initial breakup.
Mental Vortex Reissue:
After being out of print for many years, Noise/BMG reissued the album in 2018, remastered with the same track list in a digipack CD format, with additional photographs of the band and memorabilia.
