2LP - Limited Edition Silver Vinyl Remastered with Bonus Material, 32-Page 10" Booklet and 2 Posters.
Released in 1985, the Celtic Frost’s second album had an ominous pall of doom and gloom, enmeshed in a sound both primitive yet also Wagnerian in its vast scope. Many claim this was a massive inspiration for black metal bands later in the decade. In truth, though, none matched what was here. This release includes the Emperor’s Return EP as well as a remix of Visual Aggression, and the concept and art direction of the release was done by the man behind Celtic Frost, Tom G. Warrior.
