Tragic Serenades is an EP by the Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost. It was released in 1986, and was an influence on the developing death metal and black metal genres. According to frontman Thomas Gabriel Fischer, the purpose of this EP was to include Martin Eric Ain's bass lines and improve on Horst Müller's original production of tracks from To Mega Therion.[4]
Overview
The re-recorded version of "Return to the Eve" (the original version of which was featured on the Morbid Tales mini-album) features Reed's habit of loudly goofing off during songs, with Reed loosely sharing lead vocals.[5] Celtic Frost included this "party-like studio jam" of the song on Tragic Serenades as their "first public display of light-heartedness".[6]
