Founding members Tom Gabriel Fischer and Martin Eric Ain are rightfully considered the "elder statesmen" of innovative metal. In 2000 the two co-founders eventually began work on a new Celtic Frost album. Their new album, Monotheist, was produced by the band and coproduced by Peter T?gtgren (Hypocrisy, Dimmu Borgir, Immortal). It is an extremely dark, inventive, and radically heavy release that features monolithic, droning doom anthems that rival the primitive massiveness of Hellhammer as well as forays into their gloomy experimental side ala the classic Into The Pandemonium release. Doubtlessly Celtic Frost's most sinister album to date. Only death is real!
