Swiss band Celtic Frost rose from the ashes of Hellhammerin 1984. They are considered to be one of the bands that paved the way for a darker black metal genre, along with Venomand Mercyful Fate; however, they are not considered a black metal band. Their sound is more accurately described as blackened thrash metal. Their 1987 album Into The Pandemonium was revolutionary in the sense that it was one of the first pieces of music to combine elements of heavy metal with gothic and operatic elements. This paved the way for the so-called "beauty-and-the-beast" doom metal bands of the 1990s and some avant-garde metal bands.

Caress Into Oblivion Lyrics

Celtic Frost

is it addiction to prevail
or mute marble words
my heart. coarse and fallen
into the sand
oblivion into grief
millenniums perish
pillars of desire
therefore I have seen
meurt et seduction
des comptes morbides
tasting rhetoric hate
an attraction verified
fall of luster
and fake caresses
mundane beggars
costume of death
a purified doctrine
and communal repentance
my mortalized quest
the enigma still unborn
oceans of grime and stone
shores of wasted might
soaring remains forfeit
my visionary dream
wings of lust
temptation and fame
temples of prowess
left a man among ruins
caress into oblivion
