5.0 out of 5 stars It's about time!, March 10, 2000

By	Michael S. Toenies (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews

It's about time this Celtic Frost classic was remastered! Sound quality is now up to modern standards (finally!). The quality is so good, I can now here pieces of the music I could never here on the original CD release. Add to that the fact that this was remastered with the input of the band and top quality equipment, a must-have for any fan of Celtic Frost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Album, November 14, 2007

By	azande - See all my reviews

I am giving this five stars because if you know the progression of metal in the 80's to present you will understand how important Celtic Frost were. The guy who said the this is not metal does not understand that these guys helped create what we know today as metal. As far as being Satanic, they are dark but I have never considered them a Black Metal band really. Their lyrics are not like Venom or Mercyful Fate or the like. They read more like an H.P. Lovecraft story more than any thing else. The music is as heavy and distorted as you will hear. They are a unique and ceative band and deserves more credit than they receive.

4.0 out of 5 stars Celtic Frost - 'Morbid Tales' (Noise) 4 1/2 stars, November 28, 2006

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Originally unleashed in 1984, as this was the Swiss black metal trio's first album. Can't believe they're actually back and touring the states again.This is 'take no prisoner' low-key see-your-ugly-hide-in-hades type of death metal. The playing on this record is superb. Tunes that I liked on this CD reissue just AS much as I did when I first heard 'em when they first came out on vinyl are "Visions Of Mortality","Dethroned Emperor"(great riffs),the noisy "Danse Macabre" and the death rattling "Procreation(Of The Wicked)". Line-up: Tom Warrior-guitar&vocals,Martin Eric Ain-bass and Reed St.Mark-drums. Should very much draw in fans of Coroner,Venom,Stormtroopers Of Death,In Ruins and Manowar. Highly recommended.
