CELTIC FROST frontman Tom Gabriel Fischer has posted the following message on his official blog:

"Abyssal and yet at the same time deeply alluring discussions with Martin [Ain, bass] over dinner last night regarding the band, the ongoing North American tour, the band's future, and the personal demons which haunt and propel us to this day.

"Seems so eternally and professionally removed from the petty Swissy bands who, hazed by drug use and intoxicated by their own infinitely big mouths, pathetically try to diss us in the local tabloids back home right now. They would last exactly one pitiable minute in the reality of the international music industry. Were they ever to encounter such reality, that is.

"Fat chance."
