influential.......2007-06-21
A great album that influenced many bands. I can think of a few bands that covered songs from this album... Opeth, Mayhem, Marduk... like any of those bands or hate them, I just thought it would be cool to point out how influential this album really is.
This is where it all started..........2006-11-27
Everyone from Napalm Death to Darkthrone to Goatwhore nabbed riffs from this masterpiece, and as a result we're all better off. Despite Tom G's bizzare (if charming and aggressive) vocals, this album remains as timeless and punishing as the day it was first pressed to vinyl as a 6-song MLP. The more time I spend talking about this album, the less time is spent listening to it, so I'm going to end this now and turn on Morbid Tales!
Must Have!.......2006-09-14
Do you ou really need a review of this?
Shame on anyone who doesn't have this already!
Top Ten deserted on an island metal album.......2006-08-25
I remember this vinyl vividly popping, rumbling, loud through the speakers to 'Human (Intro)' to 'Into the Crypts of Rays'.
Holy crap....
My friend and I bought every metal album we thought looked good back in '84.
The big 4? Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax...
This was #5 for me.
Celtic Frost.
Most songs to love, some to hate.
As it is with any Frost record.
The noise 'songs' like Danse Macabre suck, push skip.
Dethroned Emperor, beautiful.
Just like the rest of this album.
It's raw, real, classic and just damn good.
5 stars because it's a personal Top 10 Album.
If you like metal...
Buy it, worship it.
Extremely influential extreme metal classic.......2006-06-29
In 1984 while much of the world was headbanging to the likes of Ride the Lightning, Powerslave, and even stuff like Quiet Riot there were a smaller group of people getting into the much more evil Celtic Frost. This along with the CF precursor band Hellhammer, Mercyful Fate, and Bathory were laying down the foundation for black metal and the other extreme metal styles that were still coming into being. In 1984 all three of these bands made influential and groundbreaking releases. What really sets this one in particular apart was CF's ultimate guitar tone from Hell, their doomy/sludgy/thrashy riffs were unlike any other. Tom G Warrior's (isn't such a cool stage name?) voice was also quite unique, his deeper more guttural voice coupled with his heavy accent adds an evil touch to the songs that no one else really had at the time. Quorthon and King Diamond had much higher pitched vocals yet still unrelentingly evil as well.
As for the actual songs, they're filled with occult themes and those proto-doom/thrash/black metal riffs. If speed's what you're looking for check out the opener "Into the Crypts of Rays", the title track, and Nocturnal Fear leave you headbanging into rigor mortis. If you're looking for doom and gloom we have that too! Listen to Visions of Mortality and Procreation of the Wicked. There's even more midpaced songs like Return of the Eve and Dethroned Emperor to satisfy all your cravings. WAIT A SEC! This album also contains perhaps the creepiest soundscape ever in Danse Macabre, I'm not even going to bother describing it you just have to hear it to believe it, words couldn't do justice. Yes it's true these three guys might not be the most talented "technically proficient" (that phrase is overused) guys in the biz but they still managed to churn out a f*cking classic. This is just another reason technicality is sometimes overrated if you ask me. I know this is a big hit with the older group of metal fans and with damn good reason too, and with people like me spreading the good word it should be liked and appreciated by my generation as well.
If you like this and are interested in more of the roots of extreme metal pick up basically all the stuff that's listed in the "customers who bought this cd also bought..." section up above. I leave you asking this very important question-
ARE YOU MORBID???

Celtic Frost - 'Morbid Tales' (Noise) 4 1/2 stars.......2006-11-29
Originally unleashed in 1984, as this was the Swiss black metal trio's first album. Can't believe they're actually back and touring the states again.This is 'take no prisoner' low-key see-your-ugly-hide-in-hades type of death metal. The playing on this record is superb. Tunes that I liked on this CD reissue just AS much as I did when I first heard 'em when they first came out on vinyl are "Visions Of Mortality","Dethroned Emperor"(great riffs),the noisy "Danse Macabre" and the death rattling "Procreation(Of The Wicked)". Line-up: Tom Warrior-guitar&vocals,Martin Eric Ain-bass and Reed St.Mark-drums. Should very much draw in fans of Coroner,Venom,Stormtroopers Of Death,In Ruins and Manowar. Highly recommended.
PROCREATION OF THE WICKED!!!!.......2006-10-11
Celtic Frost Jams. The band is pure bad. If you like heavy thrash music you should love any of the first three Frost albums. Morbid Tales, Emperors Return, To Mega Therion. Some may say these guy weren't good musicians but I've yet to hear music like this come from any so called "good musician". Celtic Frost created some of the coolest rythms I ever heard on guitar and Tom G Warriors vocal are purely wicked. UUHH!!!
Ignoramus test.......2006-09-17
I had to give this 5 stars just to balance the ignorances who give it one. well, i'd give it 5 stars anyway. If you don't like it, you ain't metal!!!
Ignore the nonsense below..........2006-09-12
The two reviews written prior to mine are pure examples of ignorance. I'll keep this short and to the point, Celtic Frost is a superb band that is worth investigation. This is the band at their most raw and primal stage. Though there are slight instances of sameiness, there is enough raw energy and diversity here to produce one of the most memorable trash albums in history.
I do not expect this review to be a major aid to one's investigation of Celtic Frost. All I can say is that as a multi-faceted music fan (From this to Love's "Forever Changes" to Ravi Shankar) this is worth a shot if you want to give legitimate metal a chance.
Anybody who thinks that "Future World" can hold a candle to, let alone surpass, "Procreation of the Wicked" needs to stop watching Lord of the Rings habitually and acquaint themselves with some decent taste (and rent Elephant).
Send me your money instead.......2002-10-24
Garbage! If you play Metalica backwards at the wrong speed it still sounds better.
