Monotheist, Celtic Frost's 2006 release, and first release in 15 years, has garnered widespread press acclaim. Called "brilliantly savage" by Spin Magazine, the album received "5/5" from AP, and "10/10" from Outburn. Additionally, the album was featured in Rolling Stone wherein Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters fame called the album "the heaviest, gloomiest, darkest, scariest metal album you're gonna hear for a long time."
