CELTIC FROST's Origin on the Rise and Fall of Civilizations

"We wanted to avoid a Metal cliche name. But we wanted it to be a synonym for the apocalypse. So we choose "Celtic" to represent human civilization and we used "Frost" as a symbol of death and standstill. Moreover, the term "Frost" has an added significance. After the winter, after the frost, there will always be a new spring, and life blossoms again. To us it reflected very much the coming and going of the different human civilizations on this planet."
