*** Morbid Tales by Celtic Frost – Gutter Metal

I like progressive metal and good musicianship to like this album. You might see it on some of the lists of the best metal albums ever. However, Morbid Tales doesn't have much to offer. There is a certain type of fan though that would love this. For example, if you love Bleach by Nirvana, which was Nirvana's first effort, put out before they got big, then you might like Morbid Tales. Granted this album by Celtic Frost is considered pioneering; one of the bands that took Black Sabbath to the next step, but also Nirvana was pioneering as well. Nirvana brought back the Black Sabbath style again, and it was called Grunge. In either case, both Nirvana and Celtic Frost aren't playing anything new, only the mix sounds different. Another band Morbid Tales by Celtic Frost reminds me of is Type O Negative. There is not much talent, but the music accomplishes something through just being so primitive and dark.
