I'm not saying one is better than the other, but you have to listen to Obituary's second album, Cause of Death before you go making any rash decisions.

I don't know, Celtic Frost's first two releases,
Morbid Tales and
Emperor's Return just sound like a classed up version of Hellhammer, which is the band that Celtic Frost originally evolved from, and classing up Hellhammer is like putting lipstick on a crack whore. So, if you like early Celtic Frost, then listen to Hellhammer, because they are superior. More ugly, more noisy, more gloriously ****ty. And Venom is definitely superior to Celtic Frost's first two as well, though I don't know about Hellhammer. They're pretty fantastic.
After that, it becomes harder to compare Celtic Frost and Venom. Venom were a much more two-dimensional-but-fun band, whereas Celtic Frost were a much more experimental band. Celtic Frost's third release,
To Mega Therion, is seen by some as a masterpiece, but it's dated sound has always detracted from the dark, crushing atmosphere that they were going for, though the songwriting itself is definitely strong. But their next album,
Into the Pandemonium is a stone cold classic, and pretty much created the idea of "avant-garde metal".
Oh yeah, and here's some Hallhammer for you...
