In the June 29, 2006 issue of Rolling Stone<\/strong> magazine, FOO FIGHTERS<\/strong> frontman\/ex-NIRVANA<\/strong> drummer Dave Grohl<\/strong> talks about the latest release from CELTIC FROST<\/strong>, “Monotheist”<\/strong>, which he calls the “comeback of the year” as well as “the heaviest, gloomiest, darkest, scariest metal album you’re gonna hear for a long time.”<\/p>\n

Says Grohl<\/strong>: “I might be playing acoustic shows this summer, but I’m a metal guy at heart. And I’ll tell you the comeback of the year: Swiss metal warriors CELTIC FROST<\/strong>! Because they haven’t made a record in so long, this is a band that you may not have heard of \u2014 but it’s not often that a group can take a fifteen-year hiatus and come back with a masterpiece. It’s called ‘Monotheist’<\/strong>, and I can’t remember the last time I was so excited about a record coming out \u2014 I was at Tower Records at midnight! (I’m joking, I got it on fuckin’ iTunes<\/strong>, bitch!) It’s the heaviest, gloomiest, darkest, scariest metal album you’re gonna hear for a long time.”<\/p>\n

CELTIC FROST<\/strong> frontman Tom G. Fischer<\/strong> was one of the featured guest vocalists on the self-titled album from Grohl<\/strong>‘s metal side-project PROBOT<\/strong>, which was released in February 2004. Fischer<\/strong> said of the collaboration back in 2002, “We (Erol Unala<\/strong> of CELTIC FROST<\/strong>\/APOLLYON SUN<\/strong> and Tom<\/strong>) have completed a song called ‘Big Sky’<\/strong> with Dave Grohl<\/strong> for the PROBOT<\/strong> project. Dave<\/strong> provided me with the opportunity to write the lyrics for the song and sing the lead vocals, and Erol<\/strong> added some guitar. The lyrics turned into some of the most personal I have ever written, and the song’s mood reminds me a bit of [CELTIC FROST<\/strong>‘s] ‘Mesmerized’<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
