The album furthers Celtic Frost's experimental bent, with unlikely covers choices (Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio"), industrial-tinged tracks ("One In their Pride") and gothic rock tendencies. The already traditional Frost-styled orchestral flourishes with female vocals are also present. Initially met with mixed reviews, Into the Pandemonium's acceptance quickly grew and it became the band's most successful record.
The album also marked the end of their tenure with Noise Records. A costly legal battle with the label unsued, due to accusations by the band that Noise sabotaged the album's promotion.
