Celtic Frost Artist Snapshot:

Switzerland's Celtic Frost have had a massive influence on the rise of European heavy metal and the splintering of metal (in general) into its myriad subgenres. Formed in 1984 after the dissolution of proto-death metal act Hellhammer, Celtic Frost released several albums over the course of the decade that simultaneously pushed the genre's musical boundaries, while codifying key sonic and stylistic markers of the metal sound. Introducing elements of prog, classical music, noise, and even sampling into straight-up thrash metal and cloaking it all in near-operatic occult imagery, Celtic Frost helped pave the way for metal offshoots such as doom, black, death, and gothic metal.

Q (2/00, p.98) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...proved themselves to be more than just another death metal band....the spookliy experimental INTO THE PANDEMONIUM earned the band the epithet 'avant garde'..."

Having already cornered the market on hellacious riffs, war-god-channeling rhythms, and darkly mythological lyrics, Celtic Frost could have stayed the course for their third record. They do no such thing. This 1987 death metal classic showcases a band with a wildly ambitious sonic palette--from classical overtures to pulverizing metal riffs--and the chops and vision to unify the expanding extremes.

Vocalist/guitarist Tom Warrior, bassist Martin Eric Ain, percussionist Reed St. Mark, and new guitarist Andreas Dobbler build on the blueprint TO MEGA THERION by following whatever inspiration their dark muse presents: string sections punctuate the guitar attacks; female singers--one of whom sings "Tristessa De La Lune" in French, another sings Latin on "Rex Irae"--duet with Warrior; and French horn and timpani dominate "Oriental Masquerade". Despite the flourishes, Warrior and Dobbler's twin guitars consistently remind the listener of what they came for--heaviness--and INTO THE PANDEMONIUM delivers it in spades. But perhaps in a nod to the pandemonium of the title, Celtic Frost buck all accusations of self-importance by covering Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio" as the lead-off (!) track. The choice reveals that at the core of their apocalyptic vision lies a serious sense of humor.
