CELTIC FROST Frontman: New Album Sessions 'Defined By Continuous Challenges'

August 29, 2005

CELTIC FROST frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer has posted the following message on his official blog:

"We have been immersed in the mixing of the album for a while now, and the days are full of intensity. Working with Peter [Tägtgren, producer] is fantastic, even though these recording and mixing sessions have been defined by continuous challenges.

"I am going to be back in Switzerland by the end of the week, while Martin [Ain, bass] will probably stay here in Hanover a couple of days longer to oversee the very end of the sessions.

"As is common when I am involved with the making of a CELTIC FROST album of this magnitude, I will find myself unable to listen to our new music for months. I will need time to come down from these years of preparing this new statement of our band."

As previously reported, CELTIC FROST have set "Dark Matter Manifest" as the title of their first album in 13 years. The culmination of some three and a half years of songwriting and recording work, the album is being largely produced by the band themselves and financed by their own production company, with additional assistance from HYPOCRISY/PAIN mastermind Peter Tägtgren during the final recording and mixing sessions at Horus Sound Studio in Hanover, Germany. Negotiations with a variety of labels are currently underway, and the album is scheduled for a release in early 2006.

Original CELTIC FROST members Tom Gabriel Fischer (voice and guitars) and Martin Eric Ain (bass) are joined by Erol Unala (guitar) and Franco Sesa (drums). The band are now managed by Antje Lange for The A Label in Berlin, Germany.
