Celtic Frost

Celtic Frost was a Swiss extreme metal band formed in 1984, known for their significant influence on the heavy metal genre, particularly thrash, doom, and black metal. Their music combined powerful guitar riffs, complex compositions, and varied vocal styles, often incorporating elements of classical music and avant-garde influences. Notable for challenging norms within metal, they released several influential albums, including "To Mega Therion" and "Into the Pandemonium." The band's innovative approach and dark themes set the stage for many future metal artists and solidified their status as pioneers in the genre before disbanding in 1993 and later reuniting.
