Celtic Frost

Musical Group

Celtic Frost are a Swiss extreme/avant-garde metal band formed in 1984 by Thomas Gabriel 'Tom G. Warrior' Fischer and Martin Eric Ain. They are widely regarded as highly influential in the development of extreme and avant-garde strands of metal. The band split in 1993, reunited in 2001 and were active again until 2008.

Formed in 1984; core figures include Tom G. Warrior and Martin Eric Ain; emerged from members who had been in Hellhammer; seminal albums include To Mega Therion (1985) and Into the Pandemonium (1987); disbanded 1993 and reunited 2001–2008.

DeBaser's reviews portray Celtic Frost as a pioneering, experimental extreme-metal band whose 1980s masterpieces (To Mega Therion, Into the Pandemonium, Morbid Tales) are widely praised. Some later releases (Cold Lake, Vanity/Nemesis) are criticized. The 2006 comeback Monotheist drew mixed-to-positive responses.
