Celtic Frost – New Album Finished Being Mastered
CELTIC FROST frontman Tom Fischer has posted the following message in his official blog:
“Martin called me last night to brief me that the album has now been mastered. We thus decided to shelve a new song we had both been developing for — an admittely inane — last minute inclusion, and we resolved to refrain from adding a HELLHAMMERish bassline to the already finished ‘Incantation against You’. The mastering now having been completed, the album is ready to pass into the hands of those who run this wonderful music industry.
I had been there at Oakland Recording on both days of the mastering, but I left a few hours early on the second day as my presence no longer yielded any constructive input. I have presently reached a state where I am too burned out to be truly willing to discern any aural details anymore. I have lived with these songs, this album for so long — too long, as all of us and all our fans will confirm — that I now need a limited pause from the music in order to be able to approach it freshly again by the time we begin rehearsals proper for our concerts next year. We are all tending to various band issues right now, but we all enjoy the break from actually making music.
And still I listened to the damn thing last night.
Martin’s enthusiasm had been very contagious.”
