i voted for morbid tales.

i know monotheist isnt released yet but it has been leaked on the internet and when it does come out it will be an option to vote for moontheist.

 

[MURAI]

Isn't it "Monotheist"?

I haven't heard all their albums but I think I would like Morbid Tales the best.

 

[Consuming Impulse]

shit yes it is
dammit

Without a doubt "To Mega Therion". I still spin this one regularly to this day! It's so avant-garde, so unique and so....ahead of itself, for lack of better explanation. Love the atmosphere....love the uber-heavy vibe, love the utter sick feel of it all!

 

[Dän]

To Mega Therion - as it is the only one i have!

 

[Priest of Evil]

Emperors Return with the classic Dethroned Emperor and Procreation of the Wicked and Danse Macabre

Yeah, I like how To Mega Therion has this mood compared to how they made Morbid Tales more straightforward and heavy.

I voted To Mega Therion as well. Though Morbid Tales is a close second. Also, I've pretty much decided on seeing them for sure when they come this year - they are really playing a lot of dates in the US!

 

[KMADD]

all up to Into The Pandemonium. Morbid Tales is the one that really stands
out for me although.

Think thats best 80s clip made ever! It captures the magic spirit of that era perfectly.

Btw The song 'The Circle of the Tyrants' was inspired by Robert E. Howard's 'Conan the Barbarian".

Here are the lyrics which I think are quite good.

Celtic Frost - Circle of the Tyrants

After the battle is over
And the sands drunken the blood
All what there remains
Is the bitterness of delusion
The immortality of the gods
Sits at their side
As they leave the walls behind
To reach the jewels gleam
The days have come
When the steel will rule
And upon his head
A crown of gold
Your hand wields the might
The tyrant's the precursor
You carry the will
As the morning is near
I sing the ballads
Of victory and defeat
I hear the tales
Of frozen mystery
The new kingdoms rise
By the circle of the tyrants
In the land of darkness
The warrior, that was me
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and war
Are like everlasting shadows
Where the winds cannot reach
The tyrant's might was born
And often I look back
With tears in my eyes
Grotesque glory
None will ever see them fall
And hunts and wars
Are like everlasting shadows


Another good Celtic Frost text is "Into The Crypt Of Rays"
from the first Celtic Frost album:

Into The Crypt Of Rays

Years of plead, behind the walls
Chambers and vaults, Scenes of fright
Unspoken Words, in pain and dread
140 lives passed his hands
Gilles De Ray's... the perverted son
The holy man... hanged by nobility
Into The Crypts of Rays...
Alluring children for his masses
Robbing and buying young souls
Sacrifice to morbid demons
Satisfy his repulsive sexual lust
Gilles De Ray's... the perverted son
The holy man... hanged by nobility
Into The Crypts of Rays...
"So this is for the morbid one,
The braveless and sick
Shivering laughter shrilled through the tombs
Sexual offence and perverted rites
Watching them limp and die...
Wizards and darkness, Gilles' dreams
Halfway came true..."
As a late medieval's French marshall
Unrestrained, with endless ambitions
Personal guard for Jeanne D'Arc
...the rising of his soul to god...
Gilles De Ray's... the perverted son
The holy man... hanged by nobility
Into The Crypts of Rays...
Overdone Mystism and
Desperate Satanism (Ha!)
Are just one small step apart
There's no human scheme in the beyond...
Gilles De Ray's... the perverted son
The holy man... hanged by nobility
Into The Crypts of Rays...


It may sound unbelievable but these lyrics are based on a true story.
French nobleman Gilles de Rais was Marshall of France and fought in the army with Jeanne d'Arc.

none of you like into the pandæmonium? innarestin’… i like that above all. most songs on that album have a kind of wagnerian, end–of–the–world–style feel to them

You misunderstand. We were asked what our favorite Celtic Frost album was.

The fact that no one voted for 'Into The Pandemonium' does not imply that none of us like the album.
