Ex-Celtic Frost Tom G. Fisher is back with Apollyon Sun. Well, I guess
a sticker on the CD will help the band to sell more records ... especially
with all Celtic Frost's fans out there. After all, Celtic Frost (Swiss
band please!) is considered by many bands as the father of black metal
(of course with Venom).
Here, no black metal, not a single melody or sound revealing the listener
Apollyon Sun is like Celtic-Frost. No, no, no, just this commercial
sticker with the mention Ex-Celtic-Frost.
I hit the play button and here comes industrial metal, samples, some
neo-metal guitar riff here and there. Apollyon Sun and Celtic Frost
have nothing in common; it is like comparing Judas Priest and Two (previous
Halford project). Same musician, but a totally different music.
I suggest you listen carefully before buying this Sub, especially if
you are a mega-fan of Celtic Frost. If you like indus, psychedelic music,
this one is may be for you. Fans of Type 0 Negative or Jack Frost should
also check this one as there are some "doomish" element in
Apollyon Sun.
Overall, we are very very far from Magical Celtic Frost. An average
album from Tom G. Fisher, an average album from somebody we expected
may be too much ... miracles. Another band, another music, another story.
