Celtic Frost(ed) Melbourne 14.06.07

Woah.. a special subject to open this Babble with...

Witnessed the mighty tyrants that are CELTIC FROST on a freezing nite in Melbourne 14th June!

From Switzerland (or somewhere between) to Australia they came. I travelled from Perth,
Australia with a Metal DJ pal 'o mine Derek (The Usurper - Anger Management) to catch them in the flesh. They are one of the very few bands that I would probably travel to the other side of Australia for. And I'm glad I did as they were no bullshit, no pyros, no forced grimness! Every song was/is a classic indeed! Such dark grooves without having to detune down to 'Mud#'.

Tom Warrior operated his 3D painted H.R. Giger Iceman with the attitude of evil and conviction!
I got the opportunity to thank Tom and drummer Frank for travelling so far.. had some photos..Tom signed my arm (too messy to get tattooed!). Missed out on any merch as it had all been sold before Frost played any music!


















Did I mention i drank 2 bottles of house red wine at the show? Hence, my slanted look :S Perhaps that was what made the show even more surreal.

Such darkness and attitude cannot be forced. It can only be there from birth.

OUGH!
