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.

Dawn Of Megiddo Lyrics

Celtic Frost

Humilated in human form/we have to die to be reborn
Awaiting the final judgement/the dawn now lifts
Subjects of flesh/slaves of lust
The cross has failed/you wont see the coming fall
A diviners fire and soil
Flames, like flowers, like blood
Fires of freedom, flowers of doom
A surface of hateful hope
(chorus)
Oh subjects of pain
Lovers of death
You will feel
The yearning flames
Flames like tongues - like cries
Pant for kisses - for bites
Seven steps - and were one
Humilated - in human thoughts
The frost, it bites/your inner heart
Frozens the flame/ln every eye
The lord will come/broken ice
The fire will burn/gleaming ways
Well never be reborn
Prenatal deaths redeemed (our lives)
(into his hand) we demand our hearts
The lord and we are one
