4.5/5 ·
Warthur
Celtic Frost's first full-length album expanded the range of instruments involved in the band's music as well as upping the diversity of the styles on offer. The focus is still on the blackish, deathy sort of metal of the type that the band produced on their early EPs Morbid Tales and Emperor's Return, but the album also includes a couple of ambient noise experiments in the form of Innocence and Wrath and Tears In a Prophet's Dream as well as Dawn of Meggido, their first foray into slow doom metal territory. On the whole, the album shows a masterful command of a range of musical styles as well as presenting perhaps one of the most artistically nuanced and highbrow visions of extreme metal's potential recorded at that point in time.
