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.

I Won't Dance Lyrics

Celtic Frost

I did taste their only dream
As denial was still unborn
Secrets beyond those dethroned walls
And echoes of a martyr's scream
Deterrent vibrates the allurements face
As my barque drowns toward conquest

Don't quieten the elder's tears
For they've forseen our past
Covered lies our remembrance
As symbols turn to dust

I won't dance
I won't dance
I won't dance within despair
I won't dance
The elder's orient

Journey lnto a wicked world
My body beneath the skies
Erotic wishes, my heart has failed
Incalculable is the surface's breath
Paralyzed form - the ring of death
Steps on the stairs to my silent ecstasy

Caress of the mental space
Thrones of fake life
Eternal addiction towards those eyes
(Gods) didn't you believe my earthbound call?
Slipping into the hidden sun
Intoxicated by an endless fall
