The bombastic "Innocence and Wrath" starts To Mega Therion off on just the appropriate note - Wagnerian horn lines, booming drums, and a slow crunch toward apocalypse. Nobody can say Tom Warrior and his merry men don't know how to make the end of the world sound appropriately dramatic. With that setting the tone, it's into the maddeningly wild and woolly Celtic Frost universe full bore, Warrior roaring out his vocals with glee and a wicked smile while never resorting to self-parodic castrato wails

On To Mega Therion, Swiss metallers Celtic Frost manage to take a would-be monotonous and repetitive proto-death metal record and make it memorable as well as epic. Finally recovering from the negative reception of previous project Hellhammer, guitarist, vocalist, and riffmaking genius Tom Gabriel Warrior created a metal classic in this album that will eternally be remembered for its undeniably heavy and original sound. By the time Celtic Frost got around to making this album, the Swedish wrecking crew had grown an almost unbelievable amount since their Hellhammer days, which still weren’t far behind them. While it was easy to see shades of the former group in To Mega Therion, the album also demonstrated a great deal of maturation and stylistic evolution.

Celtic Frost, were a band from Switzerland that arose from the ashes of Hellhammer, an early extreme metal band, with only two of its members crossing over. Regarded as a first wave and pioneering black metal band, thanks to their first EP, Morbid Tales, it wasn’t until the sophomore release, To Mega Therion where the band truly found their niche. If someone was to ask me what I thought about Black Metal and its imagery, I would answer pointing towards To Mega Therion, as a great album that doesn’t depend on the gimmicks it creates, managing on the same page to use them to stay as the relevant classic it is. Recommended tracks: The Usurper Jewel Throne Dawn of Megiddo Circle of the Tyrants Necromantical Screams.
