In comparing tribute albums of Celtic Frost / Hellhammer, this one takes second place to 'Celtic Frost Tribute Order of the Tyrants' but not by much. You get some of your more popular Death/Black metal bands in this one, such as Mayhem covering 'Visual Aggression', Emperor and 'Massacra', and Opeth with 'Circle of the Tyrants'. I favor the track list on this compilation because it doesn't get into much of the later CF 'progression' or experimentation. However, some of the bands leave some on the table and fall short of the fame and glory Celtic Frost deserves. The band Grave is the 'low-light' of this disc but it is interesting that Thomas G. Warrior's project band 'Apollyon's Sun' comes in to cover a CF track, 'Babylon Fell', which is performed superbly. As mentioned in another review, my copy did combine the last three tracks (performed by Closedown, Emporer, and 13) into one track of over 20 minutes and makes it frustrating listening to each bands offering. A true CF fan will naturally pick this up but will pick up 'Order of the Tyrants' first. I can't get enough of Frost tracks and many bands are out there to cover the Frost's best offerings. I hope this isn't the last compilation I find...Read full review
I know little or nothing about Celtic Frost, except that if they are as good as the covers of their songs, then I should look for some celtic Frost CD's. Be Warned: For some reason (certain versions of) the CD has combined the last three songs onto one track, which is a bit annoying, especially if you want to record/copy/rip any of those three songs by themselves.
FOR ANY CELTIC FROST FAN OUT THERE, THIS CD IS A MUST. ITS GOT THE BEST COVER VERSIONS OF CELTIC FROST BY SOME OF THE WORLDS LEADING BLACK/DEATH METAL GROUPS.YOU WANT GET ANY OTHER TRIBUTE TO CELTIC FROST CD BETTER THAN THIS. EVERY BAND HAS PUT 110 PER CENT EFFORT INTO THE REMAKE OF CELTIC FROST,S AND EVEN A HELLHAMMER TRACK SONGS. SO IF U DONT HAVE A COPY OF THIS I GUARANTEE YOU .THAT THIS CD IS A MUST HAVE ITEM TO BUY,IN HONOURING THE GODS[CELTIC FROST].IM REALLY HARD TO SATISFY WHEN IT COMES TO COVERS OF C,FROST AND IT SATISFYS ME 1000 PERCENT.SAY NO MORE.JUST BUY ,SEE,HEAR FOR YOURSELVES.DAEMON HELLHAMMER.
