2022 - Thrash/Black (early), Gothic/Doom (now) from Switzerland
Detailed Description
Celtic Frost transcends the typical categorization of a great extreme metal band; they stand as one of the most exceptional and experimental acts of the 1980s. Rather than adhering to expectations, they embraced constant musical evolution, incorporating surprising influences and keeping audiences in suspense about their next musical venture. Their formidable and unparalleled catalogue of albums forms a unique tapestry that, only now, can be fully appreciated as a remarkable chapter in music history. Despite, or perhaps because of, constant turmoil on various fronts, Celtic Frost achieved an artistic level few dared to dream of. Unafraid to take risks, they climbed to great heights, solidifying their status as icons and iconoclasts.
