Tragic Serenades is an EP by Swiss extreme metal band Celtic Frost, released in July 1986 through Noise Records.
According to frontman Thomas Gabriel Fischer, the purpose of this EP was to include Martin Eric Ain's bass lines and improve on Horst Müller's original production of two tracks from To Mega Therion.
[4] The re-recorded version of "Return to the Eve" shows Reed's habit of loudly goofing off during songs, with Reed loosely sharing lead vocals.
[5] Celtic Frost included this "party-like studio jam" of the song on Tragic Serenades as their "first public display of light-heartedness".
[6] The EP was reissued in 2018, with 2,500 copies pressed for Record Store Day 2018.
