Recorded just one month after the birth of the band at one of their very first rehearsals, “Procreation of the Wicked” presents Celtic Frost at their rawest, wildest embryonic stage. 8 tracks of pure unaltered mayhem, everything that would make them legendary is already here, proving once again why they’ve been such a huge influence for countless Black, Death, Thrash, Heavy Metal and Punk bands all over the planet.
