The Hall of Judgement: Celtic Frost - Into the Pandemonium

Daniel has requested that this release be submitted into the Hall of Judgement. If you agree with the below change request, vote YES. If you don't, vote NO.

Request: Celtic Frost's Into the Pandemonium album should be removed from The Infinite and added to The Fallen, while remaining in The Pit.

This change would also remove the Avant-Garde Metal genre and add the Gothic Metal genre for this release .

Member comment: "We currently have Celtic Frost's highly experimental third album Into The Pandemonium tagged as thrash metal & avant-garde metal, but I'd like to question that position. Sure, the thrash metal stance is justified as there's still more than enough of the band's classic sound on offer to warrant its inclusion in The Pit, however I have to question the validity of the avant-garde metal tag as I just don't hear anything terribly weird about this album. Sure, it was a very ambitious & unique release for the time but if it was released today I'd suggest that it would be far more likely to be tagged as gothic metal, as a good half of the tracklisting treads similar ground to later bands like Tiamat as far as I can see. I'd suggest that there are less thrash metal numbers in comparison. For that reason, I'd like to propose that Into the Pandemonium is removed from The Infinite & reassigned to The Fallen while maintaining its position in The Pit."

NOTE: Only members of The Fallen, The Infinite and/or The Pit can vote on this judgement. Once 15 votes of Yes or No have been entered, the Hall will make its judgement.
