| | Celtic Frost Albums & Lyrics @ SongLyricsLibrary.com |
 | | Formed from the ashes of fl/death metal band Hellhammer in 1984, the Swiss based Celtic Frost were a pivotal influence on the death, fl, speed, and gloom metal genres, pioneering many of the musical styles and avant-garde elements that have since become synonymous with bands like Sepultura, Emperor, Dark Funeral, and Enslaved. |
 | | The first virtually alienated Celtic Frost's fans, whilst the latter - regarded as a strong comeback album featuring Ain returning to the fold - was considered too avant-garde for MTV airplay, sabotaging the potential mainstream appeal of David Bowie ('Heroes') and Bryan Ferry ('This Island Earth') covers. |
 | | Several bands evolved from the ashes of Celtic Frost: guitarist Ron Marks founded the satirical 'Subsonic,' and Warrior (reverting to his surname Fischer) founded the highly regarded 'Appollyon Sun,' which continues his unique personal vision. |
