THE BEAST

Documentation about the Swiss band "Celtic Frost" Sunday, November 16, 2008, at 11.30pm, Swiss national TV station SF1 premiered 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." +++++++++++++++++++++ English subtitles and video by nuke / Niels Rahn, for the Official Triptykon/Celtic Frost/Hellhammer Forum (http://www.triptykon.net/forum)
