Down with the new, in with the old (and cold)

This excerpt from an interview with Nocturno Culto done by the Metal Observer in September of 2001 says it all...

MO: I've read in several interviews that Tom G. Warrior doesn't approve of the blatant CELTIC FROST/HELLHAMMER-influences in DARKTHRONE's music, because he says that CELTIC FROST was all about breaking new musical ground and DARKTHRONE is basically just copying them. What is your opinion of his viewpoint?

NC: Mr. Warrior is right, if we talk of "Panzerfaust". This album has some tracks, which is a hail to CELTIC FROST, but otherwise I think that DARKTHRONE has created it's own sound. CELTIC FROST sure broke some new ground with "Cold Lake"...?!

Darkthrone
