Anything that relates to this great band, its members and their releases, can be said in this thread.
To get started, I'm going to post my thoughts on 'Monotheist'. I got it yesterday, and after a few listens (it takes more than 1 to digest it fully) the musical scope has really hit me in the face. It might not be as revolutionary as their 80s masterpieces ('Morbid Tales', 'To Mega Therion', 'Into the Pandemonium') but it is much more focused in it's direction. 'Morbid Tales' and 'To Mega Therion' were full of a raw, primal rage, while 'Into the Pandemonium' sprawled into multiple genres, with each song having a unique take on things, but 'Monotheist', while a weighty 73 mins, is much slower, darker and dirge-like. The sound can IMO be described as a Doom-filled Death Metal, with Ambient and Industrial touches here and there. It's very hard to explain, you must hear it for yourself.
Comments anyone?

Written by Guest on 21.04.2007 at 01:45 Great post, I truly agree with alot you wrote. Don't bother to listen to Cold Lake and Vanity/Nemesis, they're shit! But do check out To Mega Therion if you haven't already done that! That's their best album IMO, but I think you'll still prefer Into the Pnademonium if you're more into the beautiful songs. All Extreme Metalheads must've heard the three first albums by Celtic Frost IMO, they're classic monuments!

Written by Warman on 30.05.2007 at 17:47 I don't get it how people always paint Vanity/Nemesis with the same brush as Cold Lake. While I, like the rest of the world, despise Cold Lake as an abomination, I really quite enjoy Vanity/Nemesis. I think it was a fresh sound, and it atoned for Cold Lake as well as anything could.

Their latest release, Monotheist, I have to say is one very impressive release. I was using elements of it the other night during a game of Dungeons & Dragons. The music, well, frankly it scared the shit out of the other people playing. I also mixed in Sunn O))) & Boris Alter and some Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. But that is the only Celtic Frost album I own. What else should I look at getting?

Written by Judas on 31.05.2007 at 15:54 Vanity/Nemesis is of course not nearly as bad as Cold Lake of course. But I still dislike Vanity/Nemesis. The sound is much softer and I do hate the vocal style Warrior's using in it.

yes indeed - if you like 'Monotheist' it doesn't necessarily mean you will like the other albums.. Celtic Frost re-invented themselves again when they made 'Monotheist' - it is very different to their other albums indeed as Markku has said though - if you like kind of dark sounding thrash metal then definitely go for the first two albums 'Morbid Tales' and 'To Mega Therion' - they are fantastic in my opinion

Written by Warman on 31.05.2007 at 17:03 I like Vanity/Nemesis, not as much as the first two and Monothiest but a good release nonetheless. Cold Lake like most would agree sucked..... I think Celtic Frost should continue there new sound in their next album, Monotheist = Epic.

Goddammit, they're playing tonight in Melbourne, and I can't go... Why was this 'tour' of Australia restricted to two shows in faraway cities?  Though Sodom last night rocked, so I can't complain too much.

Metalkult.com has posted the final installment of its four-part, interview with Thomas Gabriel Fischer and Martin Eric Ain on the group's groundbreaking 1984 album "Morbid Tales". In this four-part, 25 minute interview, Fischer and Ain talk about their formation in the cold-war Eighties, the gear they used to conjure Morbid Tales' "inhuman" sounds and how they inadvertently created one of the one of extreme metal's most influential albums. You can find the four parts at this location.

I AGREE THAT MONOtheist is more doomy then previous releases. I have been listening to CF for about 6 years,my favorite song is mexican radio from parched with thirst I am dying, I love the fake crowd noise, but I am just not sure if its truly live or not. It's a cover song. By the way I know everyone bashes cold lake including Tom Warrior, but I like it especially once they were eagles, so there.
