Celtic Frost To Mega Therion (2 x Silver Vinyl 180g + Booklet & Poster)

Housed in a sleeve designed by Swiss artist extraordinaire H.R. Giger (who designed sets for Alien), To Mega Therion set the tone for all that Celtic Frost would later achieve, lose and much later reclaim. Like their debut mini-album, Morbid Tales, it’s thunderously heavy stuff, a brutal death-metal storm. Yet interspersed throughout are the elements that would make its successor so great. Classical infusions, wailing choirs and operatic arias blend throughout with Frost’s intense musical vision – never interfering with the thrust of spine-shivering entries like Circle Of Tyrants or Dawn Of Megiddo.
