Celtic Frost - Emperor's Return

Celtic Frost - Emperor's Return

It almost seems churlish to regard Celtic Frost as one of the
great extreme metal bands, because they were so much
more than that. It’s 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.

Emperor's 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.Reed St. Mark). The
band's bleak publicity photographs from this period had an
influence on the fashion and style of the developing black
metal genre. This EP has been out of print and available on
its own since 1985.
