Into the Pandemonium is the 1987 (see 1987 in music) album by death/doom metal band Celtic Frost. The album is more varied than many of Celtic Frost's past LPs, with unlikely covers (Wall of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio"), emotionally charged love songs and the band's signature industrial-influenced rhythmic songs of demons and destruction.
The track "Rex Irae" is the opening part of Celtic Frost's requiem, the third, concluding part of which, "Winter (Requiem, Chapter Three: Finale)" can be heard on 2006's Monotheist. The second part of the requiem has yet to be released by the band.
Though Celtic Frost never received much mainstream attention, Into the Pandemonium established the band as one of the most famous doom/death groups in the world with a large and devoted following, primarily based in Europe.
