Celtic Frost was a heavy metal band from Zürich, Switzerland. They are known for their heavy influence on the extreme metal genres, particularly black metal. The group was first active from 1984 to 1993, and re-formed in 2001. Following Tom Gabriel Fischer's departure in 2008, Celtic Frost decided to break up again. The band was inspired by heavy metal groups such as Black Sabbath, Angel Witch, Venom but also by gothic rock acts like Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Christian Death and the hardcore punk group Discharge. To Mega Therion (meaning the great beast in Greek) is the second album by the Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost, released in October 1985. The cover artwork is a painting by H.R. Giger entitled Satan I. The album was a major influence on the then-developing death metal and black metal genres. 01 - Innocence And Wrath 02 - The Usurper 03 - Jewel Throne 04 - Dawn Of Meggido 05 - Eternal Summer 06 - Circle Of The Tyrants 07 - (Beyond The) North Winds 08 - Fainted Eyes 09 - Tears In A Prophet's Dream 10 - Necromantical Screams LINK Celtic Frost - 1986 - Live Demo EP

Into the Pandemonium is the 1987 album by Celtic Frost. The album is more varied than many of Celtic Frost's past LPs, with unlikely covers (Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio"), emotionally charged love songs and the band's signature industrial-influenced rhythmic songs of demons and destruction. The track "Rex Irae" is the opening part of Celtic Frost's requiem, the third, concluding part of which, "Winter (Requiem, Chapter Three: Finale)" can be heard on 2006's Monotheist. The second part of the requiem was never released by the band. 01 - Mexican Radio 02 - Mesmerized 03 - Inner Sanctum 04 - Tristesses De La Lune 05 - Babylon Fell 06 - Caress Into Oblivion 07 - One In Their Pride [Porthhole Mix] 08 - I Won't Dance (The Elders Orient) 09 - Sorrows Of The Moon 10 - Rex Irae [Requiem] 11 - Oriental Masquerade 12 - One In Their Pride [Extended Mix] LINK
