Album Notes & Community Reviews
Shattering the rigid boundaries of extreme metal, 'Into the Pandemonium' is a radically eclectic fusion of thrash aggression, classical orchestration, and gothic sensibilities. Celtic Frost boldly incorporates French horns, operatic female vocals, and new wave covers into their ominous, doom-laden sonic architecture. It is a highly experimental, avant-garde milestone that paved the way for symphonic and gothic metal.
