283.0. "Celtic Frost" by KETJE::VLASIU () Thu Oct 25 1990 10:50

    And this topic is for the swiss band Celtic Frost (existed also in
    EHM). The founder of the band is Tom G. Warrior.
    I have heard different opinions concerning their album "Into the
    Pandemonium", so before buying it I would like to have impressions from
    people in this conference. I put on my list also "To Megatherion".
    About "Cold Lake" I've read unanimous bad critics.

    "Cold Lake" wasn't too hot ... the album before that one was pretty
    good, can't remember the name.

Re. Scary

The album before "Cold lake" was "Into the pandemonium" and aparently it's quite
an experiment mixing heavy metal with some classic influences including opera
voices (I just tell what I read about).

    That sounds right ... it's a very intense album.  Some of the songs are
    a bit too "dark" for me though ...

    	Borrowed their new(?) release from Steve D.  The guitar work
    sounds excellent (Slayer-ish) but, IMO, the vocals are horrible!!
    
    	Anyone have one of those machines that removes vocal tracks? 8^)

    Celtic Frost are gods. Morbid Tales is a classic,(especially when it
    came out,in 1983).
    
    Anyone remember HELLHAMMER,the band Tom "God" Warrior had before C.F.?
    
    Apocalyptic Raids is a classic.

283.7Into the Pandemonium was fine tooKETJE::VLASIUThu Jul 04 1991 11:509
I've listened only "Into the Pandemonium" and their last one, "Vanity / Nemesis"
ItP is better but V/N is also quite good. On V/N the vocals could be much more
acceptable without the repetitive "hugh !" at the begining of each song.
In my opinion, Coroner (also a swiss band) is better actually than Celtic Frost
(also heavier and punchier).
ItP has the merrit of being quite original for this kind of metal. It deserves
attentive listening.

    Coroner are ex-members of Celtic Frost`s road crew. A good band -
    though they never seemed to quite match the first demo they released
    about 4-5 years ago. A classic,(though difficult to get hold of now
    i should imagine.
    
    Joe Strummer.

This explains the influence of CF in Coroner's music.
