 Expectations for the new release
Therion have brought operatic elements into their music, but they have never resembled a real opera.
If Therion suddenly were to go from their current lyrical theme to a fictional with interpretations of characters for each vocalist/choir the result would be far far away from anything else Therion have made so far.
I similiarly was disapointed when the album first came out I read about the 170 classical musicians and such then when I bought the album all I heard basically was a metal album with some background classical and distorted opera vocals.

 Celtic Frost : To Mega Therion - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The bombastic "Innocence and Wrath" starts To Mega Therion off on just the appropriate note -- Wagnerian horn lines, booming drums, and a slow crunch toward apocalypse.
While there's not a lot of variety throughout Therion -- everything is mostly as already indicated, big, loud, and invoking death and storm clouds conjured up by pagan gods -- what does crop up outside the formula makes a good experience even better.
Ending on another prime note, the hyperdramatic "Necromantical Screams," To Mega Therion is and remains death metal at its finest.

 Amazon.com: To Mega Therion: Music: Celtic Frost   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
From their debut album Morbid Tales, this was the second album (1985 release) and an awsome follow up that set the standards high for this up and coming band from Swiss/German origins.
Mixed into the album are three tracks from the "Tragic Serenades" recording sessions ('86), where Martin Ain joins back up with the band and they re-do a few of the songs.
They take this all to a new level on their next album, "Into the Pandemonium," which in my opinion is the best metal album of all time.
