[edit] CF is not Black Metal

While they had a seminal influence on Black Metal, CF is not really a Black Metal band. What is closer to the truth is that CF is uncategorizable, but if pressed their sound is something akin to progressive baroque death metal. As evidence for the non-BM tag, Warrior himself has said this in an audio interview with Chris Tetley that is widely available on picture disc and bootleg. Ixion75 03:43, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I do agree with this, labeling them as heavy metal would do them much better justice. Avador 17:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

So do we basically agree that we should remove Black Metal from their tag? Or has that changed with the more Black-style of the most recent album? Personally I am inclined to allow it stay. Atech 16:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This isnt exactly correct, they are early black metal/thrash, but heavy is to general. The genre definitions on this site are all over the place, Venom is early black metal yet Celtic Frost is Heavy metal (lumping them in with both Judas Priest and Rainbow) and Hellhammer is simply "extreme metal"? 139.57.206.54 06:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thrash Metal?

While Black metal really seems debatable, I just really do not see Thrash in any of the works of CF, I think it might be a good move to remove this tag from the band. Atechi 21.46 23 June 2006

"Vanity nemesis" is thrash

Celtic Frost is easily debatably the definers of thrash sound Cannibaltom 04:25, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Logo

Folks...I just visited the official site. CF has a new logo...should we still be using the old one here?

It's not a new logo, it's just a second logo. It has been used since Morbid Tales (maybe even earlier). --Kebabi 07:16, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Influenced bands

I removed Creed from the list of bands influenced by Celtic Frost... at best the idea is laughable.

[edit] Whole thing should be deleted

Completely biased, Hides true facts and makes out the band does alot more than it really does. Needs a good cleaning up and re-write. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zaardon (talk • contribs) 07:08, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
