Advantages: lots of distortion, fast paced, and incorperates different subgenres of metal Disadvantages: long, could give you a headache if you listen to it for too long

This album is the newest album by Celtic Frost, and the only one that I've heard, but I've heard songs that aren't on this album, and it's definately different. Monotheist has a a much darker and more sinister sound, whitch is a bit more common with doom metal, or gothic metal. The main thing I like about this album is the last three songs, all starting with the word "Triptych", but they're all totally different. The first one, entitled "Totengott", is definately the creepiest out of these three songs, but not the creepiest out of the album. I think that song would be "Drown In Ashes". The second one, called "Synagoga Satanae" is definately the longest song in the album, at over 14 minutes long. I think that 14 minutes is a little long, but it's worth the listening. Satyr from Satyricon takes lead vocals for a little bit in the song. You get a more Celtic Frost feel in this song. The last one, called Winter (Requiem, Chapter Three: Finale), is the prettiest and the only instrumental song on this CD, and it's beautiful. There's no other words to describe it. So, all in all, I give this album a 4/5, and if you're a Celtic Frost fan, I'd reccomend it to you.

Album Notes
Belief in one god, suggests the title of Celtic Frost's comeback album, MONOTHEIST. For fans of the groundbreaking Swiss death/thrash metal outfit, that statement is better understood as Belief in one band. Celtic Frost are the absolute deity of dark metal, and the band returned in 2006 to reclaim what it so rightfully deserved, following experiments and folly both daring and unsuccessful. Tom G. Warrior and company lay waste to a dense, moody, cathartic collection of songs, finding new inspiration in both their old works as well as elements of the early-2000s metal scene they helped inspire. Relentlessly grim and spiritually foreboding, MONOTHEIST marks a powerful return to form for Celtic Frost.
