The Emperor HAS Returned
It would probably not be too much of an over-generalization to say that Celtic Frost fans are divided into two groups. The first group is made up of extreme metal fans who see the Swiss band's seminal records like Morbid Tales and To Mega Therion as the major influence and inspiration on the black, death and doom metal genres that they definitely and unquestionably are. The second group consists of the people who love Celtic Frost for their fearless avant-garde attitude that manifested itself on Into The Pandemonium, when the band incorporated gothic, operatic and even industrial elements into their abrasive metal style.

I absolutely love "Ground", "Os Abysmi Vel Daath", "Domain of Decay", "Tottengott" and "Synagoga Satanae". This is great stuff. Blend of doom, gothic and brief slightly thrash-esque moments.

I like the sound and recording quality, but the songs are just too plodding and sludgy. The original Celtic Frost had great bouncy rhythms that drove the songs, but this just sort of stumbles along. Only one listen so far.

A very good album, and even better as a comeback. Pummelling heaviness and beautiful, classic overtones make 'Monotheist' the beast it is.
