It’s only been 5 fucking months and the metal gods have already seen fit to bless us with monstrous entities such as this. One can’t complain much (Ronnie’s death excepted, of course).

I thought Monotheist was a pretty boring album actually, so I wasn’t looking forward to this when I read about it. Wow, this album is what Monotheist should have been. It is crushingly heavy, chaotic, yet incredibly listenable. Tom’s heavy-as-molasses guitar tone is back, and his vocals once again delve into the unknown areas of extreme metal.

A very satisfying album that should have been done under the Celtic Frost moniker. Where Monotheist was very “monotone”, this album has many layers and dynamics and prove what an interesting and capable musician and composer Mr. Warrior is and has always been.

Do not pass this one over. Buy it.

I concur, Apollyon: MONOTHEIST is a truly great extreme metal record. EPARISTERA DAIMONES does outdo/outweigh it–as I suggest in the review–but “Celtic Frost’s Epitaph” is a fantastic, challenging, scary, human, and welcoming listen.

Even though TGF hates–HATES–Franco Sesa, the drummer on MONOTHEIST and the last-added full member of CF, he can’t wouldn’t deny the incredible power of MONOTHEIST. I’d hope not: it and EPARISTERA DAIMONES really represent the strongest artistic statements thus far from a truly great artist.

Get ’em both. Double your “harrowing listening experience!” Oh, and plan the diaper change between the end of “Synagoga Satanae” and the first notes of “Goetia”… TGF’s third bit of the incomplete “Requiem” will help you as you a. question everything you believe about good and evil in our universe, and b. change your underwear! Perfect, right?

Horns up, people, horns up…

While you’re out getting this one, be sure to pick up Monotheist too. It’s truly an awesome album.

Great reviews, guys. I didn’t bother with Monotheist but I’ll be getting this one.
