[kj] SCARIEST record... and cover

[Alexander Smith]

Ah, TO MEGATHERION.....I once broke up with a girl over that record! 
Hahahahaha....

In the winter of `93, I found myself dating a rather irritating woman 
who had the annoying habit of leaning over and   cutting up my food at 
restaurants (like your mother used to do) and was a flagrant 
church-goer. One day, while perusing through my record   collection, 
she happened upon TO MEGATHERION by Celtic Frost,   charmingly adorned 
with an HR GIGER painting of Satan using the crucifix as a slingshot. 
She was shocked to the point of utter speechlessness, and we broke up 
on the spot (thank...er...god). Amen,  Celtic Frost.
