CELTIC FROST: More Details About Forthcoming CD Revealed

March 19, 2002

CELTIC FROST's upcoming reunion CD will feature the classic three-piece line-up of Tom Gabriel Fischer (guitar/vocals),Reed St. Mark (drums) and Martin Ain (bass),accompanied by APOLLYON SUN guitarist Erol Unala, according to a new posting by Fischer on the message board of the group's official web site at www.celticfrost.com. Moreover, we intend to invite a number of very special guests to participate on the album, some of them closely related to CF's history, added the frontman.

Despite pleas from die-hard fans to make the group's next CD a double, we feel that's not a likely option at this time, stated Fischer. We would much rather focus on making it a very unusual and strong 'regular' CD right now, while leaving all options open for the future. [The aborted] Under Apollyon's Sun [album] was a special case, and it was to be the seventh CF album, so we felt we deserved some leeway. This new album is an experiment for all of us (and you) and a re-entry in many ways, so we feel a focused approach is appropriate right now. There are a number of ideas for future CF projects if you all decide you like what we are doing on this new album, and a couple of them might end up being larger than just a 'regular' CD.

Although no record deal has yet been secured for the upcoming effort, we have pretty much every aspect of the visual presentation of the album ready for final execution, insisted Tom. It will be something entirely new for this band, based on an idea by Martin Ain which we all absolutely love. Also, the writing for quite a lot of songs is finished, but we are experiencing such an amazing chemistry right now and are having so much fun that we are still writing new stuff at our practice space here in Zurich. We are probably entering a studio in England this summer to finish these songs (a lot has already been pre-produced and pre-recorded by means of our own studio facilities).

If all goes well, Martin will also be handling some of the vocals on some of the new songs. It has been amazing so far to work with him, for the first time in 12 years (not counting the re-issues).
