Former CELTIC FROST Mainman Sings VALBORG's Praises
June 10, 2009Former CELTIC FROST and current TRIPTYKON frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer has posted the following message on his blog:
"TRIPTYKON bassist Vanja Slajh and I went to see German group VALBORG perform at the Gaswerk venue in Winterthur, Switzerland, last Saturday. Vanja has been friends with VALBORG's Christian Kolf for some time, and this is how I first became exposed to VALBORG's 'Glorification Of Pain' album. I instantly felt an intimate connection to the music and became deeply drawn to the album's density, darkness, and minimalism.
"But the album's impact pales completely in comparison to the dimension VALBORG's music attains onstage. To anyone receptive for such infestation, as I was, the rawness and nihilism emanating from the stage was fiercely addictive. It was almost as if witnessing a mixture of BOHREN & DER CLUB OF GORE, early BLACK SABBATH, and HELLHAMMER. And yet VALBORG are abundantly original and unique.
"It is, not least, their commitment to simplicity and their refusal to become immersed in the usual music industry bullshit that makes me look forward to meeting them again."
