To Mega Therion is the second studio album by Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost, released in October 1985 through Noise Records. It was highly influential on death metal and black metal, and some consider it to be one of the best albums of the 1980s.
"To Mega Therion" translates to the great beast in Greek. It is an expression found in the Bible but was also a nickname used by Aleister Crowley. The cover artwork is a painting by H. R. Giger titled Satan I.
