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.

Necromantical Screams Lyrics

Celtic Frost

Necromantical screams
Only you are deaf
Is there life beyond death?
You entreated death, the answer will come
Oebris of faith, even you are false
Immortal morals, catch up with time
Vault of darkness, filled with hate
(chorus)
Deny life, addiction to death
Procession of damnation, expulsion of light
Hazardous ways into the rush
Soul is frozen and flesh is weak
Necromantical screams
Only you are deaf
Intelligence is mute ...
Respect and thoughts, buried long ago
Pleading for the end, blind and dumb
We wont feel, there could be more
I will remain alone in the dark
... only you are deaf
