Celtic Frost over vertraging nieuwe album
De band Celtic Frost is zoals wel bekend mag zijn al tijden bezig met het album Monotheist dat na 15 jaar het vorige album moet opvolgen.
In een interview met het Engelse blad Terrorizer vertellen de bandleden waarom het album zoveel vertraging opgelopen heeft.
Tom: “Everything you can think of happened. I cannot describe it any other way. From technical problems to personal problems to song writing developement — anything you can imagine. With hindsight I’m glad we let it mature because now it’s exactly where we imagined it would be when we first talked about this. Any time before would have been nice for that f ans — I’ve read all the complaints on the CELTIC FROST board.”
Martin: “You should keep in mind in that regard that this wasn’t about a band writing an album, it was about forming a band and writing an album. We had to get ourselves back together again and redefine our relationship. We had loose contact over the years, and I’d been out of the gamefor years and had to get myself into CELTIC FROST mode. We also had to find a drummer. So it was forming a band and then writing the material.”
Tom: “We recorded tons of demos that nobody will ever hear. Some are finished and mixed, some are just basics. That was very important for the gestation of this album. Also, we were under no boligation to release an album by a certain date. This wasn’t a band coming back together because management and record company offered a lot of money. we did it because we wanted to. We had total independence. We did the album on our own time and since we had already waited 15 years, what difference would a month or 10 months make? We wanted to make the album the way it needed to be.”
Het album komt, zoals het nu gepland is, rond de lente van 2006 uit. Op welk label het uit gaat komen is momenteel nog niet bekend.
