There’s symphonic gravitas behind To Mega Therion’s French horn-and-timpani-loaded “Innocence & Wrath” overture, but don’t mistake Celtic Frost’s first formal full-length as anything but mid-Eighties metal extremism at its finest. Through disgustingly RAT-dialed guitar tones, double-barreled drum annihilation, and a tapestry of Tom G. Warrior’s finest grunts, the Swiss crew pressed up an absolute classic that became a foundational text for the worlds of black metal and death metal.
