>>To Mega Therion <album> 1986

>>Into The Pandemonium <LP> 1987-88? (87)
>>Cold Lake <LP> 1989 (Maybe 88?)

>>"MT" is easily my fave, from "Into Crypts of Rays" to "Procreation Of The 
>>Wicked". Never had "Emperors Return". Just got To Mega Therion on disc,
>>very disappointed by the lack of packaging which the album had. Good 
>>LP, "Circle Of The Tyrants" is Great. "Into The Pandemonium" shows that

>>album, with a lot of somewhat pointless experimentation. "Cold Lake" is
>>so ridiculous that I had to buy it, just to show it to my friends. Pretty

>>"Vanity/Nemesis" is supposedly a return to the "Morbid Tales" lineup, and
