1989 album from CELTIC FROST, it sounds like classic Celtic Frost of old, with that crunchy riffage you expect from them and that set them apart from practically everyone else, but with a vaguely gothic tinge that, if memory serves me correctly, pretty much shaped Tom G's change in influence after seeing The Sisters of Mercy live. It was there certainly on Into the Pandemonium and it's here in a less experimental and more traditional heavy metal, mid-paced thrash context as well.
