전신인 Hellhammer와 마찬가지로 이 이른 시기에 스래시 메탈, 블랙 메탈, 데스 메탈, 그리고 둠 메탈이 갈 길을 다 깔아놓은 음반입니다. "역사적 가치는 알겠는데 음악은 별로다" 라는 말은 Hellhammer까지는 통했을지 몰라도, 솔직히 여기서부터는 안 통할 것 같습니다. 메탈 뿐만이 아니라 하드코어에도 지대한 영향을 끼친 명작입니다.

It's kind of like cheating. Tom forms Hellhammer, hones his musical skills, and then the first Celtic Frost EP is this excellent. Every second of this release is a complete blast. It brings a huge smile to my face and I get right into the groove. The lyrics are like insane mutterings about evil & immorality - what more can you ask for? A satanic-looking cover?

블랙 메탈의 기원. Celtic Frost의 앨범들 가운데 가장 스레쉬 메탈에 가까운 음악을 들려주는 한편, 'Morbid Tales' 같은 데스앤롤 스타일의 곡이나, 아방가르드함이 넘치는 'Danse Macabre' 등등 시대를 앞서간 창의성을 느낄 수 있음.

In my opinion, a very unremarkable beginning for what would become a legendary band. Still significant for the first wave of Black Metal.
