Number ten was Celtic Frost "Morbid Tales" and number one was Reign In Blood (big shocker).

Friggin' cool. I have that magazine still, goat knows where though.

Personal timeline with Celtic Frost:

1993: Read about Morbid Tales in above mentioned magazine, gradually get every album on that list I didn't already own, except for that one for whatever reason.
2004: Purchase To Mega Therion, listen twice, say "I see they were ahead of their time."
2007: Purchase Monotheist, enjoy casually. Witness them live. Purchase every single other album. Gonuts on a regular basis ever since.

One of the best, most important bands metal ever had. It took me long enough to figure that out.

^^ so it seems their live performance outdo their albums? I doubt I'll ever see them live in my life

Isn't that how most bands are though, especially the sort of style that Celtic Frost plays (both then and now)?

wtf!!!

Swiss avant-garde/metal pioneers CELTIC FROST have released the following statement via their official web site:

"CELTIC FROST singer and guitarist Tom Gabriel Fischer has left CELTIC FROST due to the irresolvable, severe erosion of the personal basis so urgently required to collaborate within a band so unique, volatile, and ambitious."

It was reported earlier in the year that CELTIC FROST was putting together an album tentatively titled "Monotheist Companion" that will feature unreleased songs from 2006's "Monotheist" sessions and rearrangements of tracks from the album. The disc is tentatively due in the summer.

was it posted on 1 April?

[EricT]

Nope, posted today.

I'm laughing... Celtic Frost without Tom is just... not Celtic Frost.

He better be bringing back motherfucking Hellhammer if he's gonna have all this free time.

[Dodens Grav]

I don't see the band continuing without him. It's probably time to lay it to rest anyway.
