Celtic Frost

wtf!!!

Swiss avant-garde/metal pioneers CELTIC FROST have released the following statement via their official web site:

"CELTIC FROST singer and guitarist Tom Gabriel Fischer has left CELTIC FROST due to the irresolvable, severe erosion of the personal basis so urgently required to collaborate within a band so unique, volatile, and ambitious."

It was reported earlier in the year that CELTIC FROST was putting together an album tentatively titled "Monotheist Companion" that will feature unreleased songs from 2006's "Monotheist" sessions and rearrangements of tracks from the album. The disc is tentatively due in the summer.

Nope, posted today.

I'm laughing... Celtic Frost without Tom is just... not Celtic Frost.

He better be bringing back motherfucking Hellhammer if he's gonna have all this free time.

I don't see the band continuing without him. It's probably time to lay it to rest anyway.

You should. It's certainly better than Triptykon.

i saw triptykon live last year

they played like 80% celtic frost and hellhammer songs :I

not that there's anything wrong with that


look at this setlist

Procreation (of the Wicked) (Celtic Frost cover)
Goetia
Circle of the Tyrants (Celtic Frost cover)
Babylon Fell (Celtic Frost cover)
Abyss Within My Soul
Dethroned Emperor (Celtic Frost cover)
Necromantical Screams (Celtic Frost cover)
The Usurper (Celtic Frost cover)
Messiah (Hellhammer cover)
Synagoga Satanae (Celtic Frost cover)
The Prolonging
Winter, pt. 3 (Celtic Frost outro)

that's three actual triptykon songs, and eight covers + the outro is a celtic frost track too
