CELTIC FROST Mainman Tom Gabriel Fischer - "It Is Truly Flattering That Our Past Music Is Being Recognized Now"
February 17, 2008, 16 years ago
CELTIC FROST mainman Tom Gabriel Fischer has issued the following update:
"It was predominantly Celtic Frost's reemergence as an aggregate of the friendship between Martin (Ain - bass) and me which made it possible to not only discuss Celtic Frost's history at length in the course of the past seven years but also that of Hellhammer.My contributions to HELLHAMMER and Celtic Frost have been an utterly personal quest, fueled by the circumstances of my youth. Anything that arose around it is, at the end of the day, of no importance. What we human beings are creating on this planet, and how serious we (including me) are taking ourselves while doing it, is in actual fact completely insignificant within the grandness and continuation of the universe.
It is truly flattering that our past music is being recognized now. But, far from wanting to be ungrateful or arrogant, this music only counts for me on a level so personal that nobody will ever see nor understand it."
MTV.com's Metal File are reporting that Celtic Frost plan to release an album featuring unreleased material recorded during the sessions for the group's Monotheist release. The new album, tentatively titled Monotheist Companion, is expected to also include re-recordings of tracks from the Monotheist release.
