For all the metalheads (closeted or unashamed!)CELTIC FROSTYou have either:-never heard of them-once loved them, then hated them post "Cold Lake"-think S.O.D. made them upI had a horrible job last year. So in light of the frustration i felt, I ran back into the arms of metal. First, I shopped Amazon and got plenty of recommendations. Celtic Frost came up. I bought it. Competely went apeshit over them. Then a few months ago, they released a new record (one they had worked on for over four years!). "Monotheist." This album is the best return to form from an unlucky band, the one that just didn't get noticed or if they did, it wasn't the right time to be noticed. There are plenty of ways to look up their history so i will spare my fingers.If you like smart, innovative, avant-garde metal. Look no further. Not only gifted with one of metal most incredible and unique voices, Tom Fisher also understands art and the way to make a metal riff punish your ears. This guy is a genius in my book. Apparently, he has had personal problems and it shows. This album is a teeth knashing, bile soaked riff fest. I am competely geeking out on this new album and no one will join me! The track "Obscured" could be a lost Bauhaus outtake. This somber tune is just TOO cool. "Domain of Decay" is just simply HEAVYNirvana fans take note: Kurt Cobain sited Celtic Frost a few times as an influence, I also believe he swiped the guitar sound for "Bleach". Give Metal a chance folks!
