CELTIC FROST To Perform At Tenth-Anniversary Party For H.R. Giger Museum

April 5, 2008

On Saturday, June 21, 2008, the H.R. Giger Museum at Chteau St. Germain in the 400-year-old historic, walled city of Gruyres, Switzerland will celebrate its tenth anniversary. This occasion will be marked by a special party at the museum. The party will commence in the early afternoon, and at 11:00 p.m. it will relocate to (most probably) the Globull nightclub in neighboring Bulle: renowned Swiss group CELTIC FROST, co-conspirators with Swiss surrealist H.R. Giger as early as 1985, will perform in honor of their long-standing friend and mentor.

In a 2006 interview with The Associated Press, CELTIC FROST bassist Martin Eric Ain stated about finding an advocate in H.R. Giger, who allowed them to use "Satan I," a provocative image of a demon using Christ's arms as a slingshot as the cover of "To Mega Therion" in 1985: "We were completely stunned when he got back to us telling us that he could relate to the music, that he saw something of his art reflected in the music. That was one of the biggest boosts we've ever gotten artistically speaking, because back in those days ... a lot of the inspiration we got was from literature or art."
