Celtic Frost ist auf Eis gelegt

Das schweizer Thrash-Metal Projekt Celtic Frost ist wohl endgültig Geschichte. Nachdem schon im April 2008 Gründungsmitglied Tom Gabriel Fischer seinen Ausstieg aufgrund „unlösbarer, schwerer Aushöhlung der persönlichen Basis“ (Zitat Bandpage ) bekanntgegeben hatte, scheint es nun keine Rettung mehr zu geben.

Am 09. September 2008 wurde offiziell das Ende der Formation verkündet: "In the wake of the events transpiring earlier this year, we, who together formed Celtic Frost in 1984 and together reformed the group in 2001, have discussed the situation and agree that any continuation of Celtic Frost without either one of us would be irreconcilable with our original ideas and detrimental to the group's legacy. We have therefore jointly decided to lay Celtic Frost to rest for good and to treasure and honor what we have created together in the course of the history of this truly unique band. All that is left to do now is to bow our heads in sincere gratitude and pay respect to Celtic Frost's audiences and friends who have made this group's existence possible in the first place.

Martin Eric Ain & Tom Gabriel Fischer, Zurich, Switzerland, September 9, 2008"
