Monotheist marks the return of highly influential Swiss veterans Celtic Frost after a 14 year absence.

The music is dark, heavy and aggressive, with touches from Goth as well as from industrial metal. The tempo is way slower than what it was last time they were around, and the music in general is more experimental as well. The experiments here are more subtle than what they were in the past though; it takes time before the finer details buried in the soundscapes are drawn to your attention.

A worthy comeback from one of the most influential bands in the extreme metal scene.
