This is NOT Canadian tv, this is British tv! They just started their tour in Canada. But, this interview had been made in London, England.

Spot on!

[@rockrabbitt]

This interviewer speaks Queen's English,so I had a doubt it says it's filmed in Canada.

[@Fatboy00000]

England belongs to Canada now. End of.

Truer words were never spoken. I got into extreme metal right from the start with Venom in the early 80's and it just got better and better in that decade. Every week some new band was coming out with something astonishingly amazing. As far as I'm concerned, Celtic Frost are the most important extreme metal band of all time. They took what Venom and the big Four were doing, but took it into uncharted lands, far beyond what anyone else could even contemplate. Thrash, Death and Black Metal all owe Tom, Martin , Stephen and Reed a huge debt of gratitude.

[@mikekrause3671]

surprised, he said he didn't like the production of To Mega Therion? did i hear right . ?? I thought it sounded amazing .

[@MCCrleone354]

Did Celtic Frost ever go back and remaster To Mega Therion to their liking? I recall there were a couple EPs that have tracks from it with different mixes. Do these EP’s indicate that the Band was trying to correct the mix?

[@mirceadobarta9533]

They did start a remix of To Mega Therion, which was going to have bass tracks by Martin Eric Ain and production by Harris Johns, but I guess Noise Records pulled the plug on that one

[@psychicvacuum555]

​​@@MCCrleone354 Most versions released after 1999 are remastered. Not sure if there are different remasters or if they are still using the '99 one... I have the deluxe digibook CD from 2017 and it sounds great. That said, I don't have an original pressing to compare it to. I think you're right about the band not being totally happy with the sound of To Mega Therion at the time, the Tragic Serenades EP from 1986 had 2 re-recorded tracks from that album. Allegedly it was to both try to improve the production as well as use Martin's bass tracks as he wasn't on the album.

[@MCCrleone354]

@@psychicvacuum555 Thanks. I think my copy of To Mega Therion is also a remaster

[@psychicvacuum555]

@@MCCrleone354 I just checked my copy, it says remastered in 2016

[@warshipsatin8764]

i bet the comparison to black sabbath really tickled him

[@Vinnay94]

I doubt it. Celtic Frost definitely have Doom Metal influences

[@fredlivingston3766]

Bad ass Tom doesn't say Keltic frost or didnt pronounce it that way says Celtic like Boston Celtics lol

[@Annihilation_0f_The_Wicked9066]

I think that there were videos and articles where he clearly states that its pronounced Keltic. But many people should look into why he chose the name Celtic Frost. Its quite interesting

[@karllux-d6g]

He has corrected it ever since - Fischer now pronounces it with a /K/. It's not that important, unless one went to Grammar school.

[@deannick1164]

When I saw them open up for Type O Negative in 2007, I remember him Tom pronouncing it keltic when they were introducing themselves on stage.

[@oskarklang8616]

Tom not tolerating Micks bullshit!

[@piotrb8434]

Remember kids - death metal, not black metal!

[@Liviopedata]

and wikipedia and others sites..cites them thrash..they aren't thrash they have anything on thrash..for sure black and death and also doom with hardcore punk influences.

[@piotrb8434]

@@Liviopedata To be precise they were blackened sludge/doom/thrash/proto-death metal with classical/symphonic and electronic influences.

[@Liviopedata]

@@piotrb8434 its ok...but remove the word thrash...they weren't inspired by exodus, metallica or slayer.

[@piotrb8434]

@@Liviopedata But they were inspired by Venom. Exactly like Metallica and Slayer.

[@JPR17]

Is the labeling so important to everyone really?
