Celtic Frost - Dethroned Emperor (live Hammersmith Odeon '89)

[@OlafProt]

I was at this gig. One of the saddest things I’ve ever seen. There must’ve been 500 people there, no one in the balcony. Into the Pandemonium changed how I looked at metal, and then this. I felt bad for Tom to be honest, it was embarrassing. Note the total absence of crowd shots. I remember at one point Tom shouting “Hammersmith are you with me…?” maybe it’s in this video. He looked alone, even surrounded by a band .

[@baldy3064]

saw them in Birmingham UK on this tour - mate took a chance of a stage dive - the few at the front moved out of the way and he was carried out.... was all a bit sad really. Still play them far too much... I should check which thread I've already posted on, but hey ho at my age....

[@Banglum]

That explains why they almost never show the crowd

[@delhidelirium9091]

Than if you check SOD , the crowd is simply one of the rowdiest I´ve ever seen in my life ... Milano tossing himself from a huge height , from on top of the monitors into the crowd . Place was so packed some poor bastards had to deal with " The Milano Mosh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " .

[@pauldainton6718]

this was my first gig outside the shires of fair Dorset and i doubt there was even that amount of people there, i still have the poster of the gig, Destruction ruled and it's a shame Acid Reign didn't play as i was a massive fan of theirs

[@skilldren]

I feel like Tom has tried to distance himself from this period as much as possible. So much so that Monotheist was so heavy it was almost like him saying 'hey fuckers, we're still here'.

[@grimstuson9573]

Everyone in the band looks like glam rock, shit but they still sound metal - a real accommplishment

[@ThrashAD720]

Cause this was "Cold Lake" era Celtic Frost.

[@earljoiner9647]

Look at pictures of em from back when I first heard em around 1986 they're the reason those Scandanvidouche black metal all look the way they do.

[@eeshsinger]

Yeah they did what glammers cant do

[@mihanich]

I don't care what they looked like then, because their music still kicked ass. moreover, their glam image creates an interesting contrast to their music.

it broke my heart when this happened. does anyone remember the liner notes from the morbid tales LP where it said "don't worry, we'll never wimp out."?

[@voronOsphere]

Wimp out! WTF are you talking about?!!!!!

[@jaimepaullamb]

@@voronOsphere On the first pressing of the first LP (Morbid Tales), they wrote in the liner notes that they would never wimp out. They put out a couple great EPs and on more record, then they started to go down hill with Into the Pandemonium; then they went full retard with Cold Lake. They wimped out to the max.

According to The Guy from _Circle of Tone_ on Napalm Death, it must be certain to say this song inspired the breakdown part of the _Scum_ title song. We can hear the notable inspiration in here...

Frost/ BAthory/ Candlemass. How many of Todays bands owe a lot of their sound to the Unholy Trinity.

[@briansteffmagnussen9078]

I actually like Cold Lake. There is somthing creepy about glam combined with doom, Kellogs Frosties did it faierly ok in that attempt like Quorthon did when he combined Grunge with morbid Metal vibes.

[@jasperfriso1437]

I agree, Cold Lake is a great album. A weird sort of avant-garde thrash covered in late eighties glittery cocaine. The riffs are familiarly chromatic and angular and unsettling, that album has an eerie sort of dark appeal. Great musicianship too. Still, Tom's voice is hard to tolerate after a few songs. He sounds like Dave Mustaine's annoyingly flamboyant brother.

[@rubengargano3369]

Yeah I think is a cool album too, if only all "worse bands albums" were like that...

[@MercilessShred]

@speedrich On the CF website, he has a discography up, he indicates what are LPs, and what are EPs. Simply listed Cold Lake as an "abomination".

[@anttam117]

Godfuckingdamn! That's pure fucking good metal right there! Just guys with worn out jeans and simple shirts rocking the shit out of Life and Death and having a good time. No overproduction or anything of the like... Not that there's anything bad with the more circus-like elements of metal.

Worn out jeans and regular shirts became an "image," too. Right after Hawaiian Shorts (Jams- see Anthrax).

There was a band from Detroit in the 80s called Seduce. They were the first band I ever saw with huge, ratted hair dyed black. They were dark and super heavy. Not Hollywood glam. There was a time in the early 80s when big hair meant big, heavy sound.
