I'd sure love to go to that, but:

1) $50 to see Celtic Frost try to rehash past glories? No thanks.
2) It's the same night as the opening of the ProgPower Festival in Atlanta, which I might be going to.

Monotheist is not old glory. "Dark Matter Manifest" was the second working title. Incidentally, I have direct info that the band is livid over the ticket prices. There are only three shows confirmed. The rest is being set and released by the management. I had to buy a ticket just in case.

PRESS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


THE EMPEROR RETURNS

Seminal avant-garde metal pioneers Celtic Frost announce the completion of their new studio album, tentatively titled "Dark Matter Manifest", their first in 13 years and the culmination of some three and a half years of songwriting and recording work. Although the album was largely produced by the band themselves and financed by their own production company, Celtic Frost enlisted Hypocrisy/Pain mastermind Peter Tägtgren to co-produce with them the final recording and mixing sessions at Horus Sound Studio in Hanover, Germany, in August/September 2005. Negotiations with a variety of labels are currently underway, and the album is scheduled for a release in early 2006.

Having declined innumerable reunion show propositions over the years, Celtic Frost once again deemed it essential to manifest themselves creatively with a new album before embarking on the live circuit next year.

Original Celtic Frost members Tom Gabriel Fischer (voice and guitars) and Martin Eric Ain (bass) are joined by Erol Unala (guitar) and Franco Sesa (drums). The band are now managed by Antje Lange for The A Label in Berlin, Germany (info@thealabel.com).

I'd only go if they just played "Morbid Tales" and "Emperors Return". That stuff is utterly amazing, but past that, bah, they bore me silly, sorry! Their later stuff deserves to be played on fucking Mexican Radio.
