Description

Vinyl records London dig this New Black Vinyl Vinyl Records Double Vinyl by Celtic Frost. Emperor039s Return is the second release by the Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost. It was released in 1985 as an extended play and was their first record featuring American drummer Reid Cruickshank a.k.a. 34Reed St. Mark34. Now as part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for Noise, this classic album is available on limited edition greenblack swirl vinyl with double sided poster.It almost seems churlish to regard Celtic Frost as one of the great extreme metal bands, because they were so much more than that. Its better to hail them as among the finest extreme and experimental bands of the 1980s. Refusing ever to do what was expected or demanded, the band constantly changed musical direction, always brought in surprising influences, and kept people guessing as to where they might venture next. Their catalogue of albums is formidable and unmatched. Each is not only unique, but part of an entire tapestry that only now can be appreciated for being a remarkable part of music history. Despite, or maybe because of, constant turmoil on so many fronts, Celtic Frost achieved an artistic level few others would even have dared to dream of aspiring towards. They climbed high because they were never afraid to fall. Which is why the band are now rightly regarded as icons, and iconoclasts.
