Colorado Bags Warnings About Pot-Laced Halloween Candy, But Florida Still Scaring Parents
File Photo
After hysterical Halloween 2014 headlines, this year the Denver Police Department and Smart Colorado have abstained from warning the public about crazed criminals who give pot-laced candy to trick-or-treating kids. Maybe that's because no such criminals were reported last year. Or because cops and concerned parents alike realized that the cost of handing out cannabis candy is prohibitive, even for perverts.
Just like the dark myths of razor blade-laden apples and lollipops laced with poison, marijuana-infused candy was at the top of the scare charts for some parents last Halloween— during marijuana's first year of adult-use legalization— after a warning video issued by the DPD told parents about the physical similarities between Halloween candies and their pot-infused counterparts. A billboard sponsored by Smart Colorado also revved up the paranoia, showing generic pieces of candy under the line "Can you spot the pot? Marijuana Candy. Trick or Treat?"
Smart Colorado's billboard last Halloween had parents scared and upset the legal marijuana industry.

Either the group's efforts worked miraculously well or were simply unwarranted, because both states that allowed recreational marijuana sales last year, Colorado and Washington, reported zero cases of children ingesting pot-laced Halloween candy. "I think there was some fear-mongering going on there," Drew Fowler, a spokesman for the Seattle Police Department, told the Associated Press last year.
This year, both the DPD and Smart Colorado are easing back on the Halloween marijuana warnings, focusing instead on broader issues. The closest the Denver police came to a marijuana warning was a message to kids on its Facebook page, telling them to "have an adult check your candy before eating it." Smart Colorado changed its focus this year, too, since co-founder Gina Carbone says marijuana-laced candy "wasn't a big concern." Instead, Smart Colorado unveiled a billboard earlier this week warning youth about the dangers of very potent marijuana.
Colorado's reasoned approach hasn't affected the mouths of the South, however. Just today, Florida Poison Control Centers and the Drug Free America Foundation issued a warning titled "Beware that Treats may be Tricks this Halloween," and alerting Florida parents to a "dangerous trend of drug-laced candies."
"New forms of marijuana, especially edible products, could contain up to 80% potency of the active ingredient in marijuana that gets you high," says Calvina Fay of the Drug Free America Foundation. "In states where marijuana is legal, these edibles have contributed to a rise in accidental ingestion by children. Although marijuana is not legal in Florida, these products still make their way into our state."
The warning admits that Halloween candy poisonings are rare, but couldn't resist the old adage: "When in doubt throw it out."

The room was clean, cheap and not too far from the beach. We were also within walking distance to Denny's. If we were staying more than one night, I would have went somewhere else though. The room smelled badly of mold. I woke up with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Other than the smell, it wasn't too bad. You get what you pay for.

In an industry with a few players and falling sales, you've got to hate your competition and Fitbit's acquisition of Pebble points that way. Following the acquisition, Fitbit has announced that all Pebble products are now dead and upcoming Pebble wearables have been binned, which is basically another way of saying that Pebble is out of the way as far as the smartwatch industry is concerned. However, Fitbit still won't get a free run as it will now have to contend with the Apple Watch Series 2, the Samsung Gear S3, Garmin wearables and a hundreds of fitness trackers whose demand has been going up.
The smartwatch industry is going through a rough patch, a situation not many smartwatch makers perceived when they launched dozens of new wearables in the last couple of years. Despite their increasing capabilities and standalone functionalities, smartwatches are yet to be adopted on a large scale and if the current trend continues, it is possible that watchmakers may decide to junk development of future smartwatches in the near future. Lenovo has already taken this route with Moto smartwatches but has said that it will reconsider if the smartwatch market rebounds in the near future.
Smartwatch sales hit by Apple Watch release delays
Earlier this year, research firm IDC discovered that the total number of smartwatches sold in the third quarter of 2016 was less than half the numbers sold in the same period of last year. While total sales crossed 5.6 million units last year, watch makers could sell only 2.7 million smartwatches in the third quarter of this year. A major contributor to such lack of sales was the delayed launch of the Apple Watch Series 2 but then, this implies how dependant the rest of the industry is on the Apple Watch series to survive as a group.
While Garmin and Samsung sold 600,000 and 400,000 units in Q3 this year, the likes of Lenovo and Pebble could sell only 100,000 pieces apiece. How smartwatch makers are feeling the heat can be estimated by the fall in Pebble's market value in a relatively short period of time. In early 2015, Citizen offered $740 million to acquire Pebble which didn't occur but later in the same year, Intel made another offer of just $70 million. As it turns out, Fitbit has now acquired Pebble for just $40 million, a fraction of what the wearable maker was worth last year.
So far, Pebble has launched a few successful smartwatches via Kickstarter campaigns in the last two years but the company has had to lay off a quarter of its employees this year amid stuttering finances. Fitbit isn't in the pink of health either but since it has now completed the acquisition, the company will be able to gain access to Pebble's patents and technologies which it can use to develop new products.
Is Google working on its own smartwatches?
Three UK offered 1,000 Fitbit trackers for just £69 apiece during the recently-concluded Black Friday sales and while we aren't aware if the network was able to sell all of them, it is clear that Fitbit is looking to take advantage of the festive season to sell as many trackers and smartwatches as possible before the end of the quarter. With the smartwatch industry going through a steady decline of late, it will be interesting to see how Fitbit manages to use it's Pebble acquisition to curate it's product inventory and stay relevant in the long run amidst competition from the likes of Apple, Samsung and Garmin.
For the consumer, it is important that smaller watchmakers do not fade away for it may lead to a few companies dominating the space and increasing prices of their offerings thanks to lack of competition. Pebble's decline in the last one year could be bad from the consumer's point of view so the onus now lies on the remaining wearable makers to decide how they can, going forward, offer cutting edge products at low cost and remain viable at the same time.

2 girls
My two oldest girls share a room
Pros: They get more quality time together, they learn how to work together when cleaning their room, they play together, the little whispers you hear when they are suppose to be sleeping.
Cons: They fight a lot while learning to work together, when they are fighting you cannot send them to their room because well they share a room and the little whispers you hear when they are suppose to be sleeping lol
my two girls share a room they are 1yr and 2yrs old but when we moved we came each girl there own room and that was a disaster neither one want to sleep at night and when we finally moved them back into the same room they now sleep great .. they fight over toys and what not sometimes but i think all siblings fight no matter what ..best part of them sharing a room is the great bonding time they get and i love it in the evenings when they are supposed to be sleeping and u hear laughter ... :)
lol! I think those are all expected cons.. but it sounds like the pros weigh out to me ;) Many Moms on here have said how much they remember the magic of sharing a room with a sibling.. talk about bonding time, for better or for worse hehe
My kids are spaced out- 1,7,13 so we feel its best they all have their own space.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Lois is now looking for a furever family that can provide her a safe, sheep-free environment.
If you're looking for a large dog (approx 56 pounds) that gets along well with cats & other dogs, please go to TLCrescuePA.com/adopt for information about our adoption process, fees, and a link to our online adoption application
Lois, a Kimberton Hound (Unknown Type) dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Hound (Unknown Type) for sale in Kimberton, or seeking a Hound (Unknown Type) dog from a breeder in Kimberton.

It's that time of year again, when we dust off the blue beanies and stand up for the web standards cause. That's right, today is the Fourth Annual International Blue Beanie Day, when designers and coders worldwide look towards casting aside email display hacks, while tipping their caps to a more consistent, accessible web.
Why does our team take web standards support to heart? Well, like you, we wish for a day when testing a site doesn't involve a cat-wrangle of hacks and weird CSS implementations across half a dozen browsers. We wish for a day when HTML emails look as they should, in the browser, in Outlook 2007. We wish for a day when accessibility will become a priority. We also wish for a day when it will stop raining in Sydney…
To mark this day, Ned the support team mascot (pictured) is proudly wearing his blue beanie while clutching a copy of our seminal work, 'Create Stunning HTML Email That Just Works!'. He's still doing his regular support job today, of course.
If you want to be as informed as Ned, there are a couple of things you can do to show your support for web standards:
- Take a happy snap of yourself wearing blue headwear and upload it (with a message of support) to the Blue Beanie Day 2010 Flickr pool
- Add a blue beanie to your Facebook and Twitter icons (like we have)
- Write up a heartfelt web standards haiku, tweet it with the hashtag,
#bbd4and go into the running for neat prizes in the Blue Beanie Day Haiku Contest
Finally, you can follow the action on Twitter using the #bbd4 hashtag. So, it's time to get aware, get your hat on and get the word out about standards support. Because really, we shouldn't still have to be dealing with 1999's awkward table-based layouts and weird padding glitches in 2010.

Hey all today I'm starting a new share that I'll be doing weekly. It's going to be part of sharing something that has been helping me with my healthy journey. I figured if I share what I have been doing maybe it could help someone else too. I love the community I've gotten to know and what I've learned so this is my way of passing it forward.
For my first share I thought I'd share a breakfast recipe that I came up with this past weekend as I was craving something chocolatey and well being I'm doing Weight Watchers it's all about working my points that made me even more excited that this is just #WW3pts so here we go!
Ingredients :
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1/3 cup pancake mix
- 2 egg using the egg whites only
-1 tsp of vanilla
-1/2 cup of almond milk
-1/2 cup of strawberries and bananas
-fat free whipped cream
(you'll need a waffle maker as well to make those waffles!)
Warm up your waffle maker. I like to use a butter spray to get the waffle maker nice and hot. First mix your dry ingredients then add the wet ingredients and make sure everything is incorporated.
Now get some mix on your waffle mix. For me I've found that filling my waffle maker it takes a 1/3 cup of mix.
Once your waffles are done add your strawberries and Whipped cream and enjoy!
If you make these I'd love to hear what you think!

I smell like i need to use a room full of spider bluff cakes filled with mustard sauce. It would be great for assad to eat some american food and drive a lifted duramax 3500 with kc lights and go off roading around the country pulling a 1969 Pontiac GTO
Yes, Assad should step down, because his step down would be the first step in restoring peace to the region. Assad has perpetuated many abuses against his people. His actions are responsible for countless deaths. He is unethical, and no longer has any credibility among his people. His resignation would be the first step in restoring a respected government.
I feel like assad should not step down because he should take responsibility for what he has signed up for and taken on. He should hang in there until the end because then he will be held accountable for what he has messed up and it will give him time to fix or own up to his promises which ever one he is trying to run from.

Only at that age he's already been an incredibly successful performer and musician and is constantly working hard for more. Lots of info on him and his fascinating biography could be caught from wiki websites like Wikipedia and IMDb. He's popular in social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. He's 18.3 thousand followers in Twitter and this shows his stardom in the website.
He uploads his most recent and best pictures in Instagram to share them together with his devotees and loves ones. His effort and commitment is viewed in his parts in TV shows and films. He's been really successful in his career also it's given him great gains. He's net worth in millions, which shows his value on the market. A lot of his shirtless pictures can be found in the media. He looks just like a tall guy but his exact height isn't accessible the media.
After being so popular he's managed to maintain his private life really low profile. There's practically no info on whether he's married or not. There's practically no info on his present girlfriend or present relationship additionally. It will not seem like he could be married and has kids but no one understands more about his private life anyhow. His coming moves have become much expected. He'll star in excellent coming films and a few are the likes of Speed Dating, Where's Love Waiting and Mustard. His effort and commitment has made his a star and after being so successful he's still down to earth.

For my second look with LuLu*s, I chose to focus on leather. In my opinion, everyone should have a little leather jacket for the season - it adds just the right amount of edge to classic pieces & instantly makes any outfit cooler. I love this vegan style because it's an affordable option & it doesn't have the overtly tough feel of a moto jacket. Plus, it's slightly easier to dress up since it fits more like a blazer. This would be perfect for those of you who live in warmer climates because it's a thinner material, which gives you a versatile layer without adding bulk. I would also pair this with a button-down silk blouse, a flowy printed mini & ankle boots for a more dressed-up look.

text: How does one compare camera accessories, in particular, the very popular camera stabilizer? Looking into buying this particular gadget is a bit confounding. Many have given up understanding all of the often confusing details that they sort it by price, brand name (a popular name and good reputation goes a long way), and last but most definitely not least by the way it looks. It's more common than we may expect but many consumers actually take the looks, and by extension, the design of camera stabilizers and similar gear. Some prefer the sleek, compact, and lightweight look of many models out in the market. Others meanwhile, prefer the bulkier and seemingly sturdier ones, thinking that these are more akin to the types that professionals use. There are more items to look at when thinking about videography and photography tools. Camera stabilization equipment can mean handheld stabilizers like the Glidecam; the ultra small ones that can be attached to smart phones and small cameras like Steadicam Smoothee or the more affordable versions made by brands like Hague, Glide Gear, and Lensse; or even those dollies often used in professional sets or the more limited track sliders. Looking for these items online is the preferred method for most shoppers. Places like Amazon and E-bay are popular destinations because they list a wide selection of types, brands, and price points. An added feature is the feedback section where shoppers get to read written reviews and even video demos of people who've bought the items. Seeing a handheld camera stabilizer in action—pan, slide, and tilt and with an actual camera mounted on it—is one of the best ways customers can decide whether it's the product they are looking for. This way, their fellow photography or videography enthusiasts are the ones giving out an endorsement or critique as the case may be. Overall, the practice is a truly effective way to get pointers for getting the right camera stabilization gear to suit a particular buyer's requirements.

"De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" is damn fine album, but it isn't exactly the best black metal album ever. The album contains Mayhem's fourth lineup change. This time replacing the now six feet under Dead with Attila. I do have to give Dead some credit though; he was the one that wrote the lyrics for this release. So how does this album fair? It fairs pretty good. Which mind you are a few steps below, "This is the greatest black metal album ever!"
Many of the Mayhem classics that you've come to love and obsess over are here. Freezing Moon, Funeral Fog, and From the Dark Past just to name a few. The production is far better than the Promo 1987 demo. Some of you may have remember my review for it. Turns out it was a bootleg containing the only two studio tracks by Dead. Enough about the bootleg though. The lineup on this album may well in fact be Mayhem's best lineup. I almost hate to say this but in some aspects Attila was a lot better than Dead: more on that later.
The guitar riffs on this album done by Euronymous are pretty decent, however despite popular misconception Euronymous was not the great black metal guitar player that a lot of people made him out to be. The riffs he played were fairly simple, and in rare cases he would make use of the scales. It also appears that Euro was big fan of power chords. Normally this method of guitar playing would not garner anyone the award of the Guitar God. Euronymous does manage to play these simple riffs extremely fast, and switch from riff to riff on the fly which does require talent. His best guitar works happen to be on Freezing Moon, Funeral Fog, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, and From the Dark Past. The riffs on these songs are very catchy and hard to get out of my head, a definite plus. Unfortunately the guitar riffs for the other songs don't fair as well. Euronymous - 75/100
The bass lines and bass riffs for the album provided by Varg "I'm Killing Euronymous" Vikernese are also catchy, and in a rare case some of the bass lines are actually memorable. When that happens with most metal albums it's considered surprising; when it happens with a black metal band it's almost enough to faint over.. Unlike, Euronymous though, Varg's bass playing never succeeds in actually making it front in center ahead of Euronymous's guitar playing. Part of the reason for this is because the bass was turned down for personal reasons. This is a shame, since in more than few cases the guitar riffs are not exactly that great and the drums become boring after a while. Varg - 85/100
Next up is the drumming brought to you in part by Hell-"I'm the normal one of the band" hammer. The thunderous, artillery style drumming I've come to love from the Promo 1987 bootleg is back. This time mixed with some clearer production drum lines. Hellhammer manages to keep the pace and rhythm of the whole album which is very fast and loud. At times it seems that Hellhammer has to steal the spotlight from Euronymous. Which is a lot of times, it simply gets tiring after awhile. Hellhammer - 80/100
At last the vocals provided by Attila are the best thing on this album. Earlier in the review I had mentioned that Attila's vocals are better than Dead's vocals. Here is why; Attila manages to change his vocals around in a theatrical sort of way. This brings out the full atmosphere of the album and almost makes it into an event. His singing, grunts, shrieks, screams, chants, yells and growls are all very damn good on this record; especially on "Freezing Moon" "Funeral Fog" and the title track. Dead's vocals on the other hand tended to remain within the same range. He sounded like a man shrieking while being tortured by demons in the depths of Hell. It gets boring after a while. Attila - 100/100
"De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" may be well in fact Mayhem's best studio album to date. The true Mayhem fans will already own this album, but for the new fans that are just now dipping their feet into the Mayhem pool they should skip over the newest releases with Maniac on vocals and pick this one up instead. Don't expect perfection though. Overall 85/100

Hegazi named Man of the Match as West Brom win Bass Charity Vase
Egypt international Ahmed Hegazi was named Man of the Match as West...
Cairo giants Zamalek released an official statement through the club's website replying to Jesualdo Ferreira's statement on Facebook regarding his Zamalek departure.
Jesualdo Ferreira announced in a statement on Saturday that he will leave his post as Zamalek manager.
The 69-year-old decided to unilaterally cancel his contract with Zamalek which originally expired at the end of the season.
The statement released by the club reads as follow:
"Ferreira is trying to influence Zamalek's fans emotionally as Pacheco did before him. All what Ferreira mentioned in his statement are nothing but lies to justify his escape.
Here are eight reasons why:
Finally, Ferreira caused the disastrous five-goal defeat to Etoile du Sahel which cost us the Confederation Cup, and lost the easiest championship: the Supercup.
Ferreira wanted to let Ayman Hefny, Mostafa Fathy, Ahmed Dewidar, Islam Gamal and Tarek Hamed go.
This player purposely offended some of the players and left them out of the squad due to his hatred towards them. These players include Ahmed Hamoudi, Ibrahim Abdel Khaled, Mohamed Salem, Ahmed Hassan Mekki, Sherif Alaa and Mohamed Adel Gomaa. They were left out because their signing didn't involve any of the player agents in contact with this manager."
Ferreira took charge of the White Castle at the beginning of 2015 after his compatriot Jaime Pacheco left Zamalek in mid-season to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab.
The Portuguese coach led the White Knights to win the Egyptian Premier League title for the first time since 2004.

Architect Lord Foster has instigated a project for a giant four-runway airport on the Isle of Grain in Kent.
Powered by the tidal energy of the North Sea, it would have capacity for 150 million passengers, making it the biggest hub in the world. The Mayor has previously called for an airport built on two floating islands near Whitstable that would be connected to London by high-speed rail links, saying a new airport in the Thames would be "the most powerful single statement we could make about the ambition of this country".
But he has always said he is open to other suggestions for a location and sources close to the Mayor today said he is "thrilled" with the Foster plans and will now raise them with Mr Osborne.
Mr Johnson said: "I am grateful to Lord Foster for spelling out the potential for a new airport, properly rooted in a broader vision for the Thames estuary, where it would make a vital contribution to economic growth.
"I believe this is vital not only so London remains in the premier league of aviation, but also to generate jobs and opportunities for decades."
A source added: "Boris has never been wedded to the location he had looked at for the island project. He is absolutely thrilled that someone as highly-regarded as Lord Foster has taken this on."
A spokesman for Foster and Partners - which designed Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok airport on an artificial island - said Lord Foster instigated the airport project himself.
It is claimed the Foster scheme, estimated to cost from £40 billion to £50 billion, could be completed by 2030, linking the South-East's ports, rail, road and air traffic.
Lord Foster said: "These visionary proposals are far from future fantasy. More than 10 years ago Hong Kong built what was then the world's largest airport at Chek Lap Kok in just four years."
But John Olsen, the former head of Cathay Pacific who favours an airport at Cliffe in Kent, said: "This is a totally inappropriate location for a large hub. There are local populations nearby and there is the issue of wild birds on the island. This proposal is getting into the realms of fantasy and dreamland."
Paul Outhwaite, from the RSPB, described the idea as "a massive act of environmental vandalism".

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. While this release is still almost as rough and dirty as the band had always been, Frost had learned to hone its vision and fashion its rage and vigor into something primal, apocalyptic, and downright artful. Boasting an epic, sulphur-filled atmosphere of pure menace that would make Black Sabbath's ghostly muses piss themselves in fright, To Mega Therion is Celtic Frost's crowning achievement.
The fact that this release's influence on the metal scene is difficult to overstate is both obvious and well-earned. An album at least 90 times more sinister than any that came before it, To Mega Therion combines the most evil aspects of numerous subgenres, some of which were barely even in their fetal stages at the time, and distills it into a solid mass of scorching fury. Its faster riffs, like the one that crashes into you near the middle of 'Jewel Throne' and the one that kicks in about twenty seconds into 'Eternal Summer' are bombastic and deadly while its slower riffs, like the ones making up most of 'Dawn of Megiddo' ooze a tense, doom-foretelling negativity that would make Electric Wizard jealous. While, even in its fastest moments, the album never approaches the speed of, say Metallica's 'Whiplash', To Mega Therion's strength and aggression is never in question.
But this classic isn't just about sonic violence. To Mega Therion is surprisingly sophisticated on a compositional level for an album from a band that was releasing material of the utmost rawness and primitivity as Hellhammer only one year prior. While most analyses call attention to the echoes of this album's blistering riffwork that can be heard everywhere from Darkthrone to Evile and even Nirvana, To Mega Therion treats listeners to some more disciplined and classically inspired passages, certainly no less influential, from time to time. The opening track hints at this, with its mood-setting parade of doom-laden riffs reaching a new level of grandiosity with the horns and keyboard orchestration that accompanies it. The slow, moody intro to 'Dawn of Megiddo' and the ominous choir effects later on in the song both expertly build the tension and provide an air of magnificence without ever backing away from the nastiness at this album's core. Final track 'Necromantical Screaming', meanwhile, perhaps takes its bizarre accompaniment to the greatest extreme, juxtaposing its slow, Sabbath-esque riffs with the sort of operatic wailing and Wagnerian phrasing that brings images of an impending Armageddon to mind.
Every performance on To Mega Therion is razor sharp. Tom's riffs are as deadly as they've ever been, no matter their speed. For the solos, he manages to get the most out of his not particularly acrobatic fingers. The solos shift back and forth between simplistic and simplistic but surprisingly ambitious, with the flashier ones often seeming like they're just barely managing to not fly off the rails. Fully in control of the most sinister and beastly aspects of his voice, Tom barks and snarls his way through each song in a way that perfectly complements the riffs. The drums maintain a thunderous presence while the bass, though often hard to pick out, is strangely unsettling when it's audible, especially in 'Necromantical Screams'.
A monumental improvement over the amateurish but moderately satisfying demos they were putting out as Hellhammer and a height of songwriting brilliance none of their future releases would match, To Mega Therion is Celtic Frost at the height of its power. While the presence of the underwhelming interlude 'Tears in a Prophet's Dream' and the general lack of catchiness might give rise to some criticism, To Mega Therion's heady mix of violent riffing and classically-inspired embellishments still feels fresh today and will be just as fresh tomorrow so long as the world doesn't end before then.
Allow me to come straight to the point, "To Mega Therion" is the best album of Celtic Frost. Whoever claims otherwise is either a questionable creature or badly informed. Okay, I don't want to be intolerant. But in my opinion, the Swiss legend never released a more fascinating full-length. Here comes my line of argument. "To Mega Therion" is better than...
..."Into the Pandemonium", because the here presented album was highly innovative. Its successor was just the lukewarm afterburner. The gatefold cover, the artworks by H. R. Giger, the carefully thought out instrumentation with blowers and timpani, the exceptional female vocals in "Necromantical Screams" and stimulating song titles like "Dawn of Megiddo" made clear that Celtic Frost were attacking on all fronts. By contrast, "Into the Pandemonium" was riding in the slipstream of its overpowering predecessor while offering partly lame songs. Just one example. Album openers should be more or less representatives of the respective full-length. Now feel free to compare the sinister, fast-paced "The Usurper" with the ridiculous cover version that kicked off "Into the Pandemonium". No doubt, "To Mega Therion" wins the competition. However, returning to innovation, Celtic Frost did not make the mistake to put emphasis on their avant-garde approach. They just were innovative - and their discreet form of understatement showed their mature personalities.
..."Cold Lake". This needs no explanation.
..."Vanity / Nemesis", because "To Mega Therion" presents the stronger songs. Especially the tracks of the B side blow the listener's mind, naturally with the exception of the extravagant yet incomprehensible and slightly imbecile sound collage "Tears in a Prophet's Dream". But "Circle of the Tyrants" and the pumping "Fainted Eyes" are aggressive, pitch-black and shock with apocalyptic sounds that are based on pure heaviness. "(Beyond the) North Winds" needs some time to reveal its full potential, but don't underrate this stoically marching mid-tempo piece. In particular the ghostlike guitars during the up-tempo part after the second chorus left its special scent. The gigantic closer "Necromantical Screams" picks up the pompous approach of some tracks of the A side ("Innocence and Wrath" and "Dawn of Megiddo") without neglecting blackness, morbidity and heaviness. Generally speaking, the song material is outstanding. It thrives on darkness and creepiness, but it also offers an admirable degree of pioneering spirit. The entire album seems to be based on pure dedication and the will to create something new. 30 years after its release, this special flair is still present.
..."Monotheist", because this album of the 21st century has a different vibe that does not really meet my image of Celtic Frost. Born in another time, it cannot bring back the specific spirit of the early works of the band. Apart from that, "To Mega Therion" scores with a better production, at least from my subjective standpoint. The album is heavy and has its individual charm, although the guitar appears slightly awkward. It almost seems as if the guitar sound is the last relic of the old Hellhammer days. Contrariwise, the drums and the further instruments make a well defined contribution. Not to mention the vocals of Tom Warrior. He does not belong to the most virtuoso metal vocalists, but each and every word that he sings proves his charisma. Moreover, his demonic singing style fits very well with the sinister guitars and the intelligent lyrics are also noteworthy. These details aside, the album has its own character and creates a very exciting overall impression. Contrastingly, "Monotheist" is just noisy.
Hopefully, I have been successful in convincing you of the remarkable quality of this classic from 1985. If not, you should lend an ear to highlights such as "Fainted Eyes" or "Necromantical Screams". These songs deliver the best arguments. Anyway, the album deserves your attention. It has lost none of its importance since its publication. Sad but true, the vast majority of the current clowns that maltreat our ear canals will never reach the brilliance of "To Mega Therion". Ugh!
If Celtic Frost's early EPs represented a dark dungeon of forsaken pleasures, then To Mega Therion must be the opulent obsidian stronghold which covers it; the bastion of utter darkness from which its perverse overlord metes his reign upon the surrounding realms. Heavier, more consistent and more riff laden than either of its terse predecessors, it's essentially the pinnacle of creation for one of the most innovative metal acts of the 90s, ushering in an entirely new domain of exotic atmospheres and hinting at myriad possibilities for further exploration. We know in retrospect that several of its future fluctuations would succeed more than others, but To Mega Therion added a fresh, coherent sheen of midnight to not only the band's own morbid legacy, but to extreme metal in general. An opaque veil that has yet to be lifted.
Beyond this, To Mega Therion is an album I also hold dear due to its influence upon my own development on my second (and later primary) instrument, the guitar. Officially, I was studying under an instructor who thankfully customized his lessons towards my taste through a lot of hard rock tunes (Dokken, Scorpions etc), and a brief conceit to teach me "Jump in the Fire"; but in the company of my 13 year old thoughts, with an old Peavey amp in the basement and a mutant Kramer Striker, I was plugging away to the inspiration of Celtic Frost, among a few others. The slower chugging and expressive but simple power chord patterns used in Tom G. Warrior's composition provided the perfect initiation to novice thrashing. Simple to ascertain and execute with standard tuning, and heavier than most terrestrial planets, To Mega Therion was an infallible seduction to a darker musical sphere, and I can't be alone in thinking this: countless thrash, heavy, doom, black and death metal bands over the course of decades would use its content as an aesthetic blueprint for their varied careers.
Stylistically, the lion's share of the material written for the full-length does not deviate greatly from Morbid Tales and Emperor's Return. Or for that matter, Hellhammer. The focus is far greater on slower, crushing numbers in the vein of "Procreation (of the Wicked)", "Return to the Eve" and such than the hardcore-infused punk riffing prevalent on several of the EP tracks, but you can still clearly here the roots from which the Swiss legends sprung, and many of the chord patterns found on cuts like "Jewel Throne", "Eternal Summer" and "Dawn of Megiddo" clearly reflect the same balance of punctilious, primal composition with eloquent lyrical despair. Celtic Frost was always been a band aware of its technical boundaries, as far as musical ability. They weren't forcing the borders of the genre so much as their German and Bay Area contemporaries, but they took what they had and made it work, conjuring aggression through the atmosphere that the thick picking implied, to compensate for this general lack of speed...
What this album might lack in machine gun drumming and complex string wizardry, it more than makes up for in its several brilliant decisions to incorporate orchestration via the use of a French horn (Wolf Bender), shrill operatic female vocals (Claudia-Maria Mokri) and Reed St. Mark banging on a timpani in addition to his normal kit. The intro piece, "Innocence and Wrath" feels like a European answer to the classic Godzilla theme, and it's no accident: the piece instantly sets a mood for the remainder of the track list, and when the general motif returns in "Dawn of Megiddo", or culminates in the operatic chorus to "Necromantical Screams", the whole of To Mega Therion is bound together in a pervasive, drowning and depressive atmosphere that to its day was incredibly novel and immediately unforgettable. I can't say that I love all of the sparse female shrieks throughout the album. They often grate a fraction more than intended. But how many Gothic, doom and black metal bands today rely so heavily this technique in their 'beauty and the beast' interplay?
Despite its deathly demeanor, which arguably peaks in the doomed gait of "Dawn of Megiddo", To Mega Therion is not an album lacking in puerile, rampant energy. Tracks like "Jewel Throne" and "Fainted Eyes" are rife with primordial, thrashing energy and intense grooves anchored by St. Mark's muscular throughput. I'm not trying to advocate for the jock mosh sect, which has transformed through the decades from an innocent and mutual release of testosterone to alpha male preening, but if you can't sway your fists (or at least your head) to the riff set of "Jewel Throne", it's likely you just hate thrash metal. Walk away, man. Just walk away. To boot, this is one of the tracks which accelerates itself, culminating in some of the punk pacing of their earlier releases. "Circle of the Tyrants" was also drafted to this album from the Emperor's Return EP, and while I have maintained a slight preference towards the original, the brighter, raw treatment here fits well into its neighbors. Another example of how the album can shelf its weighty Gothic atmosphere to flex some brute strength at the audience. Yet another: Dominic Steiner's loud bass chords during "Necromantical Screams".
Tom's vocals are superb here, and arguably the best they've ever felt on any of the full-lengths. Dark, tense, and cumbersome, his accent and timbre barking out the dark prose like the noblest of savages. An exception might be the bonus studio jam "Return of the Eve", on which the vocals are so heavily effected that they can feel as silly as they are charming, but this was not a core component of the original album and thus easily brushed off. What's more, the lyrics retain the serious nature of the earlier works. Slayer was singing about Satan and psycho killers, Venom about Satan and cocaine, Destruction about Satan and the meat packing industry, but there was something so ominous, grandiose and mature about Celtic Frost's paeans to avarice, pride, and the lessons inherent in the occult and mythology. The sequential, conceptual bindings of "The Usurper", "Jewel Throne" are also interesting. Once again, a huge source of inspiration, this time for tens of thousands of black metal bands to follow (notably Emperor and the earlier Darkthrone canon).
All this aside, I must admit that I have never found The Mega Therion to be the most flawless of jewels. A huge part of this is that I don't really care for the instrumental "Tears in a Prophet's Dream", an electro/ritual/ambient track which feels even less coherent than "Danse Macabre" on the Morbid Tales EP. It's not that I don't appreciate Celtic Frost's desire to experiment, but the random bass chortling, percussion and goofy wails here have always conspired to take me straight out of the experience. It seems like they threw it together and placed it on the album just because 'they could' rather than to pursue an honest artistic abstraction from the metal surroundings. Thankfully, the track that follows "Necromantical Screams" is so damned good, or "Tears..." would seem even more of a souring anticlimax. Otherwise, a few of the shrill vocals and the fact that "Circle of the Tyrants" feels mildly redundant being here would be the only nitpicks I could launch against this timeless behemoth, and for the latter...I will begrudgingly admit that, as one of their best songs, it belonged on a full-length so more could hear it.
Coverage of this staggering monstrosity could never be complete without a nod to the choice in cover art. Though Geiger's Satan I had been originally conceived in the 70s, it was the perfect match for Frost's ungodly lyrical explorations. The cynical, sacrilege of its imagery would prove iconic to generations of metal fans, atheists, occultists, and it was also nice of Warrior to 'keep it in the family' (aka country) by collaborating with the Swiss surrealist. What's more, it to me represents that Celtic Frost wanted to hint at a wider range of classicism and art beyond the metal spectrum, almost as if they were prompting the audience to smarten up, expand ourselves and look further into other fields of depth and vision (a tactic they'd repeat with the use of the Hieronymous Bosch painting for Into the Pandemonium). I'm sure for many of us, it worked. By extension, so does the album. As grim an enlightenment as nearly anything that came out of this formative, important period in aural extremes, and in my opinion, one of the best Swiss works in the entire genre (excepting only Coroner's 1988-89 masterworks and Samael's underrated Passage, all of which are of course either related to or directly inspired by this very band).
Celtic Frost's second album is nothing short of a masterpiece considering it was their first full-length LP if you don't count the fact that "Morbid Tales" was only an E.P. that was re-issued with the classic "Emperor's Return" E.P. in order to make it seem like a full-length LP. In fact it's nothing short of brilliant; the musical equivalent of Conan the Barbarian. An ancient warrior in a distant land taking everything with might, power, and projecting fear and respect to all whom cross it's path. Basically this is Celtic Frost at their finest. Yeah this may be argumented amongst other metal fans but it's almost like saying which of the first 3 Venom or Bathory albums are the best? Celtic Frost were one of those bands that gave birth to a genre and their first few burnt offerings to it's bestial summoning were nothing short of a combination of energy, youth, testosterone, and the mischievous dabblings with the dark side.
First off: the artwork. Celtic Frost always had an eye for something that would stand-out and make their records matter in the eyes of metal heads. Regardless of what you might think of the music in it's brutal simplicity....they knew what artwork meant. I mean; heptagrams, H.R. Giger, Hieronymus Bosch, demons, skulls. "Le childish satanic musings. You do not know art young child. Come and listen to more sophisticated modern-day music for 20-something year olds who have ironic French mustaches and smoke cheap cigarettes that your grandfather even found appalling back in the day." Fuck off. Go listen to Owl City or some shit like that. I say give me more heptagrams, H.R. Giger, etc.etc. A nasty looking rusted green and white demon with skull-faced snakes and black crosses surrounded it while holding the figure of Jesus in a mocking and ironic way like a slingshot? The great beast it just might not be, but the audio essence of youth gone wild and still rebelling for all it's worth. Brilliant.
Sound wise this is more more clearer than "Morbid Tales" and almost rawer than that as well. Again, there's a reason why I pick this over "Morbid Tales" as far as the DEFINITE Celtic Frost album to own in your music collection. Even with a clearer sound, Celtic frost have retained that rawness of their unique mid-paced Sabbath/blackened-thrashing-doom guitar tone from fucking hell, and made it much more razor sharp on "To Mega Therion." For 1985, this is fucking extreme. It still IS extreme, but I'm talking specifically for that year. Yes 1985 also had "Seven Churches", and "Infernal Overkill," but those were more based on speed. Celtic frost, again, were more about the blow behind the punch. And the blow pretty much blew every all the metal out of their fan's heads that year.....still to this day.
Then there are the songs themselves. They have them. Lots of 'em. The intro "Innocence & Wrath" is exactly what I was saying about youth, energy, testosterone and Connan The Barbarian? Yeah, that's the epic-like intro intoducing the gladiators before they step into the ring, or announcing the Hunns coming out of the cave. You have glorious tales such as "Jewel Throne" wtih that main chugging downtuned riff from hell, the always classic and seizure-inducing "Circle of The Tyrants" which calls to the likes of Genghis Khan, and the chilling/freezing "Necromantical Screams." Then there are others songs which is what made Celtic Frost such an entity in the Metal universe which what mades these songs come to life; songs like "Eternal Summer", "Dawn of Meggido", "(Beyond) the North Winds" where these are basic extensions and more colors to the pallet that gave their creations such a life of their own. Even though by the time their next album their music would start to reminiscent of the album artwork they put on their LP sleeves, for now this is simply one of the best examples of an album taking you out of your everyday situation and letting your mind drift to a world where it's pure dungeons and dragons in the best of ways. Even the other instrumental "Tears In A Prophet's Eyes" were not only what I just mentioned but also an excellent example of a band not backing down from the hunt and will to conquer uncharted territory. Even the lyrics to some of these songs are nothing short of inspiring:
"On days of northern wind, (past) illusions surround my dreams
Drops of mute oceans breath in the palm of my hand
The sound of silent waves still caresses all my thoughts
Where warm, mystic floods dominated the upper hemisphere" - "(Beyond) the Northern Winds"
or this little diddy:
"Once prayed to my gods, searching for the whistled memories
Empty eyes are staring now, to my feet a land of sorrow
I'm the king, sitting in the dark hiding from the shadows of the wind
Wafts of might, wine of fire, I was called to taste" - Jewel Throne
Tom G. Warrior and company weren't fucking around when it came to trying to give his fans something just to listen to, but to read into and again expanding their imaginations.
Much like the great Mongolian conqueror Genghis Khan, Celtic Frost's greatest good fortune came from chasing their enemy of mediocrity and anything that did not deliver heaviness. They seized Metal's slaves and possessed their minds with tales of victory and defeat, and they also left their followers weeping and wailing in the end..."To Mega Therion" is still to this day is like an everlasting shadow in the Metal universe.
There are some things I don't understand in the metal world and one of those things is the popularity and the high ratings of this record. Let's say that the debut album of the Swiss metal legend is not bad at all. It has its own style but the record is far from being a legendary milestone as there are too many similar filler tracks on the record. Celtic Frost play some technically well done blackened thrash here. Even though the artwork is great, the lyrics are intriguing and the sound quality is very underground, the band fails to establish a gripping atmosphere. In the black metal scene, the first works of "Bathory", "Emperor" or "Moonspell" sounded way more addicting, the death metal scene had some great potential with the first releases of "Death", "Therion" or "Amorphis" and the world of thrash has seen the great debut records of "Metallica", "Voivod" and "Overkill". Every of the mentioned records has more style and charm than the first steps of Celtic Frost no matter if those records came before or after this one. There is still a lot of potential in this record that is worth your time, patience and attention. I might underline that this is a very good and interesting album and surely an influential piece of metal music. But it is no masterpiece or milestone because it has too many mediocre parts next to the pure genius that can also be found in here.
With the great instrumental "Tears In A Prophet 's Dream" and the closing album highlight "Necromential Screams", the band proves us that they had the potential to create an atmospheric and gripping milestone. The songs are filled with great sound effects and a lot of black atmosphere. They have surely influenced some of the bands mentioned above without a doubt but they copied the pioneers in a more consistent way.
The problems don't start in the beginnings of the record though but can rather be found in the middle of the album. "Innocence And Wrath" is a great instrumental introductions that leads to a great straight opener called "The Usurper" that has a lot of diversity and energy at the same time.
But "Jewel Throne" has almost the same style as this song and may be a solid banger but nothing truly addicting and outstanding. The problem is that there are at least three or four other songs of that kind on the record that somewhat destroy the efforts of the more elaborated and atmospheric tracks. I may even include the overrated and well known "Circle Of The Tyrants" to that same mediocre category. They are great live tracks, have a lot of energy and some riff variation plus good though not excellent guitar solos. On the other hand, they don't nearly have the same of majesty as the opening and closing tracks as well as "Dawn of Meggido" and remain rather one-dimensional bangers with lots of rather ridicolous signature "Hey!" and "Uh!" shouts in most of those songs. One or two of them may be acceptable but there are a too much of them on this short album. Especially as they are almost all in one row and not placed between the more epic tracks to give us a break. Their is really a heavy downfall of quality in the middle of this album.
One of the hidden highlights on this record is the following "Dawn of Meggido" which is an atmospheric doom metal track that adds a lot of heart and soul to the album again and is easily one of my favourite tracks in here. The orchestral middle part is innovating and reminds me of brilliant horror movie scores. That's an element that would have fit to more songs on this record and would have add something special to the album.
That's why this album seems in the end quite schizophrenic to me. It is divided into atmospheric, majestic and innovating tracks one side and straight filler songs to bang your head to on the other side in quite equal parts. I really adore the first face of the band whiel the second one is not all bad but simply not as outstanding and engaging as many fans claim. In the end, this record is still an important album for three different metal genres and the innovating parts are truly inspiring and innovating. But as this level can't be kept on the length of the entire album, I would not call this record a masterpiece as it lacks of coherence in the end and I only truly enjoy about twenty of the fourty minutes in here. That's why I think the album is slightly overrated.
Within the maelstrom beyond the edge of the universe described within its lyrics, a blackened cosmic tryst between Uranus the sky god and a dark mattered succubus resulted in this illegitimate monster that no one would claim but the mighty but broken homed child Tom Warrior and his compatriots many eons later. Some even say that these two beings might be one in the same; the son without a father becomes his own father! And like the final Olympian grandchild of Uranus, they sought revenge against their ghost fathers for their sins. The beast, forced to bring itself up upon the frozen depths of starless space, eventually found its way to earth. It watched humanity devour itself and drew near the kindred darkness within our cursed hearts. Learning of what lay beyond death; it crystallized into this reminder, not unlike the golden record that sits within Voyager I and II, as something that summarizes our condemnation to the depths.
The words of Therion/Warrior speak of truly dark things, for they could know no other but such a truth. Towers fall to dust and man falls into flame. Nostalgia is erased as the deep sorrow and frailness of the old takes its place. The protagonists and antagonists both rot and tremble within their halls upon darkthrones. Even in their desire to know the unknowable and escape the endless curse of death and rebirth, they cannot resist the swiping pendulum that levels both monuments and solar bodies. Their dark armies pale and falter as the nightmares of prophets and the sorrow of dying elders reveal only approaching catastrophe. As the monster warns with staggering eloquence "for no one who knows tries to reappear" and seek to take part in the horror that they left behind.
The howls of despair and anger of the forsaken sons strike with hurricane force while human allies Reed St. Mark and Dominic Steiner channel such light-bereft doom into colossal and dusty rhythms. Warrior brings the potential of the electric guitar to fruition as purely blunt rhythmic weapon of war; battering and crashing down the gates of that which came before. Like mighty hammers crashing down upon dirty helmets in its slowest and most monolithic moments, it grinds the earth and stars beneath skeleton tank treads. At times we hear the sounds of battle that echo from deep within history, drums many times the size of any modern beast are beaten upon by dark stone giants. Huge battle horns bellow, reversing the flow of the wind. When the Usurper charges all hell breaks loose and we hear every stamping footstep and galloping hoof beating musical fury unheard of before those hallowed times. Like then thousand typhoons they crash against the grain of your mind.
When the cacophony subsides for a time to open the nightmares of aforementioned prophet, we see that under the ceaseless destruction the empathy and tears shed for the coming end. Sounds coaxed from the modern electronics gives us an idea of the horrors that drive such men to madness. The Original Child Bomb blasts while shocks of bass driven psychosis shred the minds of the survivors. Laughing human devils exceed their mythical counterparts with effortless glee. Chants of newly formed death cults bring forth hell's inhabitants. Cries of pain and ecstasy mingle until they become inseparable from one another. How can one not share tears with this poor soul? And then the finale arrives, bringing another of life's many shivers up your spine.
Many young people who came across the newly fossilized remains of the creature 25 years ago tried with varying levels of success to replicate it and pay blood tribute. They tried to build upon the crumbled suits of armor and tattered flags of memory; memories before the birth of all beings who came before. All in this upstart genre of human rejects and lost children. Countless worship the sounds of this record and the other works of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost and heeded the warnings. Some sought orthodoxy while others refined and pushed the remnants of the dark spawn further and further. Those who succeeded are in turn worshiped by the new heirs to the sound.
Following my forbearers, I, another acolyte in search of such texts and swarms of sound came to partake in its still fountain 20 years after its fossilization. It was far beyond anything my teenage ears had listened to until that time, even its precursor and herald Morbid Tales, in terms of extremity. Like those who seek out darker and deeper relics of the time before birth, I wanted to belong to something beyond what was expected of listeners of music. There would be no turning back after this point. The tides of steel are pulled by works like this one, along with the other great masters of the time. I feel moments of great joy when I hear the traces of this record in newer monuments to the sad monster and his human form, the chugging of crying battle engines and grunts of load bearing souls. True and intelligent poetry is to be found here. If you do not know, then you must.
I'll admit right away I've yet to see the film Citizen Kane, but every way in which I've heard it described, praised and criticized - as well as it's historic significance - correlates perfectly to C.F.'s masterpiece full length. Long, boring, monotonous, excessive, innovative, original, unique, genre-defining, classic. These are all adjectives that come to mind when discussing either work. The only real difference lies in the scope of each piece's influence. But is influencing the entire extreme metal world really that far from influencing the entire world of film? I like to think not.
With this album Tom G. and friends really refined the Celtic Frost sound. With these guys every album is like a new band, and I believe that's how Tom wanted it. While Morbid Tales (which I consider more an album than an ep) showed more avant-garde tendencies and thrashing than their previous work in Hellhammer, the raw, youthful and evil energy remained. All that happened was their songs were intricately structured and their musicianship was greatly honed. On "To Mega Therion" they left their youthful energetics behind and concentrated on furthering their art, and hence that of every extreme metal band to follow.
The crisp, clear production on this record gives the music a cold and crushing effect. In the intro you instantly hear that every instrument has piles of reverb on it. The guitar tone is less dirty than on "Tales" but much thicker and damn sludgy.
The opening instrumental feels like a great weight being dropped on you, that of all the world's pain and suffering. Once you've accepted this weight "The Usurper" knocks you flat on your back and begins dragging you on a tour through mankind's downfalls.
"Jewel Throne" shows the sorrow that comes with decadence and the rapid road to destruction it leads us on. The "Dawn of Meggido" is the apocalypse and with heavy fucking doom riffs and atmosphere the Frost paints the barren landscape for our obliteration. Flawless. "Eternal Summer" reminds us of buried kingdoms, one of which we've become. Top notch thrashing is had in the after-world and Tom's solo evokes the burning clouds he speaks of in the lyrics.
"Circle of Tyrants" kicks off side two by re-iterating that all is lost (in case the first five songs didn't give you that message). However, humans go on, in total ignorance of the past and rape of the earth and each other. This song makes you wonder if this album wasn't just Tom having a "heavy-ass song" writing competition with himself. "(Beyond) the North Winds" is a personal fave for that sweet opening riff and the, perhaps, more sublime lyrical content, with just enough nihilism on top. Did Tom even know what he was saying when he wrote "Fainted Eyes" ("the waters grow dumb"!)? It's a good thing this song is heavy as fuck too.
"Tears in a Prophet's Dream" keeps with the great tradition of freaky avant-garde ambient track right before the last song on the album. And what a song. I don't know about everyone else but the one thing that excited me most about getting this album was hearing "Necromantical Screams". I knew this had to contain riffs from "Buried and Forgotten", that crazy Hellhammer song. And this one so out does it! This was surely one of the heaviest. darkest, doom-i-est songs of '85. And just like everywhere else on the album, the use of female operatic vocals is wonderfully enhancing.
C.F. really took a more unique and direct tone on this album, dropping all occult imagery for their overwhelmingly bleak apocalyptic visions. Few albums have since captured these sentiments as poetically, if any.
The true beauty of Celtic Frost lay in their other-worldliness. It's very hard to believe that this stuff wasn't written/played by some grimacing sentient beings, like Lovecraft's "Older Ones". Or maybe just Lovecraft himself, although I highly doubt he could touch any riff Tom G. Warrior wrote.
Don't come to this looking for "Morbid Tales II", but DO NOT ignore this album. Thomas Gabriel Warrior was arguably the most important guitarist to extreme metal in his reign and this was his masterstroke. I'm certain that the Celts only got their Frost back on "Monotheist" from listening to their old records, this in particular. This album managed to write the rules for all black, death and doom metal to come without following any of them. Warrior saw heaviness as a momentous force in modern music and he never followed any trends because of this.
BUY OR DIE! and give "Into the Pandemonium" and "Vanity/Nemesis" a chance too.
To Mega Therion, the first full length by Celtic Frost, a band whose influence and significance in the extreme metal scene no one can question or deny. Alongside bands like Slayer and Venom, their contribution to the genre is the most notable and cardinal.
It's just amazing how anyone can come up with such acrimonious and apoplectic music and still not look dry or repetitive. Thomas Gabriel is a riff machine; he comes up with such demonic stuff and gives new tunes out like he's running a shop. Another reason why this is not like those monotonous thrash albums is the frequent tempo fluctuations and alternations which help in capturing the essence and feel of this album. Not only has this pioneered thrash, death and black, its doomy sections are worth a mention as well.
The one minute opener is like a chilly warning for the storm of madness which follows it. It gives a glimpse of the dark and gloomy nature of this release. The sheer ferocity of their relentlessly violent yet artistic music manifests and exhibits their talent & competence. Every single song following the one minute "mood setter" is evidence of their skills and expertise. But the last track, Necromantical Screams, is the evilest of them all. You find yourself caught in the nefarious atmosphere, possessed by its power, obeying its orders, for it is a force so divine, you are worthless in front of it. All you can do, and all you should do, is follow it.
The words To Mega Therion translate from Greek to the great beast, which fits this kind of music perfectly as it has a huge, dark, and ominous sound, which became one of the most important albums in the history of metal, inspiring some of the best artists each of those genre's most important artists like Nile, S.O.D, Dimmu Borgir, Sepultura, Emperor, Obituary, Gorgoroth and even Nirvana, to name but a few.
The sound created by the three band members of Celtic Frost is epic, showcasing some of the best musicianship in extreme metal. The drumming of Reed St Mark is especially impressive, a thundering blend of precision, strength which creates an immense, cavernous sound that really strengthens the effects of the vocals and guitar of Thomas Gabriel Warrior, who was the creative force behind Celtic Frost right from the beginning, and created some of the darkest, most original guitar riffs in metal. The bass of Dominic Steiner, who, although he only contributed bass on this album, was no doubt a big part of creating the monster sound of the three-piece. Altogether the three band members create a maelstrom of sound, blending slow, dark, doom metal riffs and fast thrash riffs to create one of the most incredible and instantly recognisable sounds in metal.
This album is a masterpiece of extreme metal and one that all fans of extreme metal should own.
With the revival of the Classic Goth/Thrash metal band Celtic Frost, we here at Heavy Metal Reviews thought it would be fitting to review their finest platter of music, To Mega Therion. Here you go!
To Mega Therion is a CLASSIC album if there ever was one. Casual thrash fans might find this album repetative, but those are the shallow/shit metal fans. This album delivers on crushing Slayer-esque blows and riffs that leave you wetting yourself again and again.
Tom Warrior's vocals are absolutely outstanding. They're the same type you'd expect from any Slayer album, but he sounds nothing like Tom Araya, if you can make that connection.
The album is heavy on gothic overtones aswell. Plenty of heavy, and I mean HEAVY thundering drums that seem to ring out into eternity. A couple Sabbath-esque riffs and Sab speed songs also keep you interested. The guitar sound is the exact same on all of the songs, but that just adds to Frost's signature sound.
Hard to believe this 3-piece band could put out such killer shit! (Then again, look at Motorhead, they're no slouches either!)
This truely is a classic and if you don't pick it up, you'll be missing out on one of the greatest thrash metal albums of the 80s. It ranks right up there with Master of Puppets (Metallica), The Legacy (Testament), Fabulous Disaster (Exodus), Peace Sells (Megadeth), and Reign in Blood (Slayer).
