This Sunday, November 16, 2008, at 11.30pm, Swiss national TV station SF1 will premiere the first full-length documentary film shot about celebrated and controversial Swiss extreme metal group CELTIC FROST.

Celtic Frost - A Dying God was directed by Swiss journalist and documentary filmmaker Adrian Winkler, whose team followed Celtic Frost for two years on the road during the group's final undertaking, the Monotheist Tour, in 2006 and 2007. Winkler captured Celtic Frost across Europe, Japan, and the United States, as well as at the Wacken and Hole In The Sky festivals. In addition, the documentary features dedicated interviews with the group's members.

Winkler: "The film documents Celtic Frost striving to do justice to their own legendary reputation. It is an emotional journey, capturing, among other things, the band members facing their own, dark past."

SF1 will re-broadcast the documentary on November 23, 2008, at 5.30am.

I guess the two obvious questions are: will it be sub-titled for us poor non-German speakers, and will it be available online anywhere soon?

My guess would be yes to both questions. I hope so anyway!

I'm still waiting to see if Celtic Frost are gonna release the DVD that Fischer was talking about. It was quite awhile back though but he said they were gonna release two DVDs that were "unlike any other music DVDs around" and for the sheer fact that it's Celtic Frost, I believe him. So I hope they do release them as a final way to send off Celtic Frost.
