To Mega Therion is a 1985 release by the Swiss black/thrash metal band Celtic Frost. The cover was painted by the band's compatriot H.R. Giger. It is considered a ground-breaking album and many future black metal artists cite it as an influence. It contains such black metal classics as "Dawn of Meggido" and "Necromantical Screams". The album was re-released in 1999 containing a bonus track entitled "Return to the Eve (1985 Studio Jam)".
