In advance of its release, today Decibel Magazine is pleased to unveil a diseased rendition of “The Usurper” from Celtic Frost’s To Mega Therion as performed by art rock eccentrics Child Bite with Philip H. Anselmo (Down, Superjoint, Pantera, Housecore Records et al).

Morbid Tales: A Tribute To Celtic Frost serves as the supplement to Morbid Tales! An Illustrated Tribute To Celtic Frost, a mammoth 155-page comic with illustrations and illustrated anecdotes from an eclectic assemblage of metal musicians and authors. Released last year via Corpse Flower Records, in cooperation with CV Comics, the tome was edited by renowned illustrator Mark Rudolph and is the second in a planned trilogy of metal-centric graphic novels following Rudolph’s 2012-issued Satan Is Alive; A Tribute To Mercyful Fate.
