Apollyon Sun ran its course, but speculation and rumors of a CF reunion continued to fly over the years, and around 2003 the rumors finally came through. Original members Tom Warrior and Martin Ain, originally along with Tom's friend and fellow guitarist Erol Unala, started work on what is surely one of the most anticipated comeback albums in many years. The album, Monotheist, was finally completed and released in May 2006, a fitting return to form for the band.
Just when things were continuing to surge for the band, Tom walked away from the project, effectively closing the books on Celtic Frost (he has only said he left the group, but as he is the main force behind the band, it seems inconceivable that a new Celtic Frost could exist without him). Tom has vowed to continue making music in the new CF vein, and is doing so with his new band, Triptykon.
