Already boasting one of the greatest metal names ever, Celtic Frost easily achieved infamy with their classic 1985 release, TO MEGA THERION, a statement of heaviness still unsurpassed by anyone in death metal. For their sophomore album, Switzerland's favorite sons-- guitarist/vocalist Tom Warrior and bassist Martin Eric Ain--along with newly recruited American percussionist Reed St. Mark, honed their collective vision: a unique marriage of dark sludge, lightning riffs, classical operatics, and lyrics culled from the darkest depths of European mythology.
Taken from a Greek translation from Revelations meaning "Beast," the album's title is only the beginning of the pain. "Circle of the Tyrants" rides like a war chariot on the relentless pulse of St. Mark's bass drum; Warrior's circular riffing on the ironically named "Eternal Summer" conjures up Biblical hellfire raining from the sky; and the jarring sound effects and moans of the damned on "Tears in a Prophet's Dream" bring the listener closer to the forge of the gods than Jimmy Page ever did. While the bombast remains an integral part of the Celtic Frost experience, the band--for the most part--keeps the focus on riffs and songs, making TO MEGA THERION their definitive platter.
All tracks have been digitally remastered.
Recorded at Casablanca Studio, Berlin, Germany in September 1985.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of the heaviest records EVER!
This timeless and original classic album from these insane Swiss extremists opened the floodgates for all kinds of experimentation in heavy metal. This is an album that simply cannot be overlooked! This is some of the most memorable, unique-sounding and crushingly heavy music you will ever hear!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Classic AND Fresh!!
Epic, bombastic, powerful!
Slow doom laden grooves switch into manic speed without warning. Lyrics take you all through time and space into realms of fantasy that are allegories for THIS terrible world.
