CELTIC FROST Mainman: 'I Will Be Free'

September 13, 2005

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

"My back pressed in desperation against the vast, dark floodgates which tower vertiginously over me, I feel the bottomless pulse of waves of which I will never know what — or who — causes them. I don't dare to even risk a glimpse over my shoulders for fear the mere sight of the monolithic structure and the thought of what lies behind it might stifle my breath ineradicably. I know that even with all my shrewdness and strength, I can barely contain the monstrously escalating pressure any longer that presses the wooden beams to leave deep marks in my ravaged skin. Ever more water is pouring all over my arms, head, face, shoulders and body. A trickle at first, but now nearly uncontained from uncounted slits and holes which increase in size even more rapidly than my fear, my panic. The cascade carries with it the sweat leaking from every one of my pores, and with it any last hopeless traces of my existence.

"If I give in, it will crush me. Am I still awake or already dreaming the inevitable?

"I will be free."

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 was 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.
