đ Homework Alert: Lets Dig 'Into the Pandemonium' by Celtic Frost!
Unpack a metal milestone, challenge your ears, and join the conversation
Before there was symphonic metal, blackened thrash, or avant-garde doom⌠there was Into The Pandemonium. And yes, class is in session. đ
Next up on Dig Me Out: 80s Metal, weâre diving headfirst into the leather-bound, incense-scented, genre-defying world of Celtic Frostâa band that never met a boundary they didnât want to obliterate with a warhammer.
Formed in Switzerland in the early â80s, Celtic Frost werenât just metalâthey were a whole mood. Imagine Slayerâs chaos met Bauhausâs gloom, then threw in opera vocals, industrial noise, and a pinch of medieval plague energy. Thatâs Into The Pandemoniumâequal parts daring and deranged.
đ˘ This pick comes straight from you, our loyal listeners, who championed the album during our 80s Metal Album Tournament. And weâre not mad about itâthis is one wild ride worth revisiting.
So Hereâs Your Homework Assignment:
đ§ Listen to the Album
Crank up Into The Pandemoniumâfront to back. Whether itâs your first time or your fiftieth, let it wash over you like a dark ritual in a haunted art gallery.
đ Brush Up on Celtic Frost History
