>>Celtic Frost:

>>Morbid Tales <Mini-LP.> Still my favorite. 1985 (84?)
>>Emperors Return <12"> 1986 (85?)
>>To Mega Therion <album> 1986
>Tradic Serenades <EP> 1986 (Three remixed/re-recorded songs)
>>Into The Pandemonium <LP> 1987-88? (87)
>>Cold Lake <LP> 1989 (Maybe 88?)
>>Vanity/Nemesis <LP> 1990-91?
>Parched With Thirst I Am And Dying <comp> 1992 (old goodies, unreleased things,
>remixed/re-recorded stuff, and two new songs)
>>
>>"MT" is easily my fave, from "Into Crypts of Rays" to "Procreation Of The 
>>Wicked". Never had "Emperors Return". Just got To Mega Therion on disc,
>>very disappointed by the lack of packaging which the album had. Good 
>>LP, "Circle Of The Tyrants" is Great. "Into The Pandemonium" shows that
>>they were attempting to become more commercial or something. Kinda strange
>>album, with a lot of somewhat pointless experimentation. "Cold Lake" is
>>so ridiculous that I had to buy it, just to show it to my friends. Pretty
>>terrible attempt at a sellout, with really funny wardrobe for the band.
>>"Vanity/Nemesis" is supposedly a return to the "Morbid Tales" lineup, and
>>style, but I have never seen a copy. 
>>
>Most people seems to like MT, ER and TMT. MT and ER are available on one CD
>nowadays, I'm not sure if there are more songs on it than on the original

>>Are you sure that they have broke up. I hadn't heard, and "Vanity/Nemesis"
>>isn't that old. They also have a Best Of collection out, title escapes me,
>>but it seemed to be drawn mostly from "Cold Lake" <ick!>.

>>As for why they might have broken up, Martin Ain and Tom Warrior don't get 
>>along. Never really have. It was reported that Ain was going to reform
>>Hellhammer with Reed St. Mark, but St. Mark went to Mindfunk <I think>, and
>>Ain rejoined for "Vanity/Nemesis" with original drummer Steve Priestly.
