Morbid Tales was recorded with Horst Müller in Berlin and was unlike anything else. Undeterred, and propelled by a burning urgency, CELTIC FROST set out to write and record a full length LP in a matter of a few months. That they did so in the face of adversity at almost every turn makes this story even more incredible.įrom its very inception mid-way through 1984, following Tom Gabriel Warrior and Martin Eric Ain’s decision to dissolve HELLHAMMER, CELTIC FROST set out to give expression – both musically and aesthetically – to a uniquely extreme artistic vision which the pair delineated in forensic detail in a document which was presented to Noise Records, with whom HELLHAMMER had released Apocalyptic Raids, in order to demonstrate to the label that their new band was a viable project.Ĭonvinced, Noise asked CELTIC FROST to record a mini-LP, even though that hadn’t formed part of Warrior and Ain’s concept document. On paper, the story of CELTIC FROST’s early years is as unlikely as it is extraordinary: a tale of how teenagers from rural Switzerland, at once audaciously ambitious and ferociously uncompromising, took heavy metal into new, exciting and unquestionably extreme territory. Danse Macabre brings together the band’s recordings from those years, capturing their boundary-pushing ambition and creative zeal. Over the course of little more than three years between 19, CELTIC FROST established themselves as one of the most important bands in extreme and experimental music of that era.
