Rising from the ashes of the incredibly raw Hellhammer,
(whose Apocalyptic Raids is now considered to be the first real black metal
album), Celtic Frost easily pushed higher the limits of where metal could
go. It's interesting to me how now Frost is considered the progenitor
of the whole black metal scene, since back when this was new stuff, we
didn't know what it was, just that it was fucking heavy. Pretty much
every song is a classic here, hampered somewhat by today's standards by
the production, but if you can get past that (and easily all of Norway's
black metallers can), then you will experience one of the true classics
in metal. At every turn Frost bent the rules, but this is the darkness
where it all began.
Noise has re-released most of the Frost albums, Morbid now containing
The Emperer's Return E.P. which features Reed St. Mark's first appearance
on the drums.
