Celtic Frost is an extreme metal band from Zürich, Switzerland, best known
for their influence on the thrash, black, goth, doom, grindcore and death
metal genres. They experimented with melding classical music and heavy
metal, this source was important for the symphonic metal and gothic metal
scene.
History Celtic Frost's frontman, guitarist and singer Tom Gabriel Fischer,
changed his name to Tom Warrior. With Steve Warrior on bass, he formed one
of the earliest extreme metal bands, Hellhammer, in 1982. Steve Warrior
was later replaced by Martin Eric Ain - also a pseudonym. The band
attracted a small international fan base, got signed to Noise Records in
Germany and recorded their debut EP Apocalyptic Raids in March of 1984,
now a rare finding on e-Bay or second hand record stores around the world.
By May of 1984, Hellhammer had disbanded; Fischer and Ain, along with
session drummer Stephen Priestly, reappeared with Celtic Frost. Thei
