[kj] OT:CELTIC /invocation ect. THEATRE OF TRAGEDY

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

The most recent Celtic Frost release, 2006's _Monotheist_,  has some 
saggy gothy stuff, and one song does have a sort of Sisters of Mercy 
vibe ("Drown in Ashes"). But I'd compare CF's "Drown in Ashes" to 
something like Theatre of Tragedy's 1996 "And When He Falleth," which is 
actually not a bad song at all and from that band's _Velvet Darkness 
They Fear_ LP.

I hate 99% of Theatre of Tragedy's stuff, but "And When He Falleth" is 
def. a keeper. It's better than the Celtic Frost track.

In fact -- hell! Here's an mp3 of it. It has some cool Vincent Price 
samples from the movie _The Masque of the Red Death_ that really make it 
kinda great:

The Vincent Price spoken in the above mp3 bits also sorta remind how 
freakin' cool Vincent Price was. Not up for long! Most other Theatre of 
Tragedy stuff sucks big time but this was their one great moment.

the mentioned bands in CF's music).
