Celtic Frost - To Mega Therion

Title: To Mega Therion

Artist: Celtic Frost

Released: 1985                               RATING: 4/5

The Good - To Mega Therion is Celtic Frost's most successful album, and there's a good reason for it. Its doomy riffs, harsh production, atmospheric effects, and musical diversity combine to make a truly unique sounding record. Songs like "Dawn of Meggido" are both dramatic and heavy, and the record, overall, is a memorable one.

The Bad: It depends on what you're into; Celtic Frost are not nearly as technically proficient as former tourmates Kreator or former Celtic Frost roadies Coroner. The instruments are not very clear due to the murkier production. And if you're into guitar solos, while the ones here are not bad, they certainly do not carry the album.
