Next spring, NILE and technical thrash pioneer CORONER take on North America together: a co-headline run that puts two of metal's most singular forces on the same stage every night, with strong guest support from SYN ABSENCE and one more special guest to be announced! The trek will kick off on March 2, 2027 in Greenville, SC and will conquer the states until it ceases fire on April 11 in Leesburg, VA. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets will be made available HERE.
Both bands arrive with their latest albums fully integrated into the live arsenal - Nile's 'The Underworld Awaits Us All' and Coroner's 'Dissonance Theory' – alongside the legendary material both bands built their names on: live, sharp, and carrying both the weight of their history and the force of what they have become.
Underworld Dissonance brings both catalogues to 31 stages across the United States: two headline sets a night, for full impact from coast to coast.
'Dissonance Theory' was released worldwide on October 17, 2025 via Century Media Records. It can be ordered, streamed, or downloaded HERE.
'Dissonance Theory' contains ten new songs across 47 minutes, recorded by Tommy Vetterli at New Sound Studios in Switzerland and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, etc.).
'Dissonance Theory,' in totality, is rich in sonic detail, a stereophile’s delight. Part of that can be attributed to the expert mixing/mastering by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. But the production, arrangement and soundscape details are largely the work of Vetterli and a longtime creative partner at his own New Sound studio. Vetterli notes, “At some point, I felt something was missing — a kind of creative counterweight. Someone to reflect things back with a fresh, critical ear. That’s when I brought in a longtime collaborator I’ve worked with for years at my studio. He helped push things into new territory and gave me the clarity and momentum Dissonance Theory needed to move forward. We made a point throughout the production to record as many authentic, organic sounds as possible. The studio was packed with tube amps, analog synths, and vintage instruments — including a harmonium and a grand piano — and we put them all to good use. We've worked together on many other productions, so the trust was already there. We get into that whole collaboration — and how it evolved — more deeply in the CD mediabook edition.”
Coroner are offering a work that proves they know themselves and what their band should sound like. No Coroner fan could possibly be disappointed in Dissonance Theory. It’s like a massive bonus from a band we all thought had spent their creative energies decades ago. “They don’t make albums like this anymore”. Ever heard that one? Coroner proves they were not only always in metal’s top tier, but that anything less than a ferocious return such as this would never have been the Coroner way.
