Background information about 'Danse macabre - Discography 1984-1987'

This comprehensive collection showcases Celtic Frost's pivotal early years, capturing the Swiss pioneers during their most revolutionary period when they were reshaping extreme metal. The box set chronicles the band's evolution from raw black metal brutality to their groundbreaking experimental phase, featuring their essential albums "Morbid Tales", "To Mega Therion", and "Into The Pandemonium" alongside the crucial "Emperor's Return" EP and rare rehearsal material. Each disc represents a different facet of Tom Gabriel Warrior's vision, from the primitive aggression of tracks like "Dethroned Emperor" and "Circle Of The Tyrants" to the avant-garde explorations found on "Into The Pandemonium".

The collection perfectly demonstrates how Celtic Frost bridged the gap between first-wave black metal and the more experimental territories that would influence countless bands across multiple genres. The inclusion of the Grave Hill Bunker rehearsals provides fascinating insight into the band's creative process, while the comprehensive packaging with book, poster, badge and patch makes this an essential artifact for any serious metal collector. These recordings laid the foundation for everything from death metal to gothic metal, proving Celtic Frost's status as true innovators who dared to push boundaries when the genre was still in its infancy.
