Biography
Zurich, Switzerland (1984 – 1993, 2001 – 2008)
Celtic Frost’s frontman, guitarist and singer Tom Gabriel Fischer, adopted the alias Tom Warrior. With Steve Warrior on bass, he formed one of the earliest extreme metal bands, Hellhammer, in 1982. Steve Warrior was later replaced by Martin Eric Ain - also a pseudonym. The band attracted a small international fan-base, got signed to Noise Records in Germany and recorded their debut EP “Apocalyptic Raids” in March 1984, now a rare finding on e-Bay or second hand record stores around the world.
By May 1984, Hellhammer had disbanded. Fischer and Ain, along with session drummer Stephen Priestly, regrouped as Celtic Frost. Their 1984 debut LP, Morbid Tales was a hit on the underground metal scene, and the band set out on its first tour, through Germany and Austria. This was followed with an EP “Emperor’s Return”. Both early releases are now available on one CD. One of their more influential recordings was 1985’s “To Mega Therion”, followed in 1987 by “Into the Pandemonium”. These albums were some of the pivotal LPs for underground metal and inducted a new and more varied sound.

Fuck off, old skool elitists. I love those first few albums, but Monotheist is utterly fucking perfect.

Monotheist is an entirely different creature from Morbid Tales or To Mega Therion, so it's rather hard to compare, and even though those are my two favorite thrash albums of all time Monotheist eclipses them both in terms of crushing darkness, by a significant margin. The perfect ending to CF...

Goddammit I Must say that Monotheist is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. That album opened the gates to greater interest against Celtic Frost's music. Those down-tuned guitars, epic riffs and lyrics are just out of this fucking world. I am glad that there are great artists that still try to make good and meaningful music in this plastic/moneyfilled world. Gotta get into Triptykon also.
