message: 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)
replies: text: Actually, Mr. Anonymous a.k.a. 72.81.63.170, you're wrong. What you're considering as "heavy metal" is the so-called New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Heavy metal music, on the other hand, encompasses all it's subgenres. Musicaindustrial (talk) 15:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

text: It already talks about their influence on extreme metal (death, thrash and black). These days they're more gothic/doom metal than anything else. Their early stuff was just extreme metal and had a similar sound to Venom, Bathory, etc. Most early black metal bands were really thrashy sounding but rawer/dirtier. Hellhammer, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Venom, Mercyful Fate, etc. are all 1st Wave black metal bands. It's hard to desribe their sound and there are some that argue none of them are black metal, that they just influenced black metal a great deal. W/e. They're black metal to me. Even if it sounds way more thrashy than later black metal. It just has that "early" sound. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 20:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Celtic Frost is not Black Metal 

message: 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

thread_title:  Whole thing should be deleted 

message: as far as the bio, i agree it should be cleaned up. i changed the genre to what is listed under their page on Metal Archives[]. it seems to be the most accurate and unbiasesed assesment of the band over the years. hope you appreciate it.
--Atonefornothing
yes and metal archives has them as Black thrash metal and thats what they should be termed on here. not heavy metal. they are NOT heavy metal. Iron maiden is heavy metal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.95.102 (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Heavy metal could be also a generic term. Heavy metal could be also Slayer, Morbid Angel, Slipknot, W.A.S.P., Helloween, not only Iron Maiden. Since it isn't easy to define the band genre and also to avoid overfilling the infobox, it's better to leave "heavy metal (see below)", I repeat, because their genre is topic of debate. P.S. Metal-archives is a fansite that invents fake genres (Have you ever heard "metallic hard rock" or "melodic thrash metal"?). --Born Again 83 (talk) 19:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you mostly, but melodic thrash metal is a real genre.  Megadeth and early Metallica are part of the genre as opposed to more raw/brutal thrash like Kreator or Destruction.  But the term is not as widely used as melodic death metal, etc.  I think MA does mostly get genres right, but they do invent a lot of fake genres.  I think it's easy to know what Celtic Frost is if you listen to their music, though.  They started out as extreme metal with a mix of thrash and black.  Over time they've changed to a few different genres.  Now they're just gothic metal pretty much, but bad (in my opinion). Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: sorry guys but what hell from Celtic Frost is being doom metal or even close?
IMO definately not single even has nothing commonality nor the even elements
what has to being definiable to as doom metal. 
And you've also good to notice that they even don't have an actual entries in
doom-meta.com. And Warrior and guys does'nt even call themselves as being doom metal.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.114.156.250 (talk) 10:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, I too would say Stratovarius is not metal :P. A song like Mother Gaia can't possibly have been created by a metal band. Kameejl (Talk) 08:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Wow you just don't give up.  I don't know how some of you dumbasses manage to breathe.  Anyways...Monotheist is an almost purely doom/ gothic metal album.  They only started playing doom recently, though.  They haven't played black/ thrash for a long time. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:09, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

text: ARE YOU SERIOUS???  I don't like Korn you retard (nor would I listen to them)!!  Where the hell did you get an idea like that??  I've never said that!  Have you even seen my user page?  I hate nu metal and metalcore, idiot! Not to mention I already know I know a million times more than you about metal.  Oh yeah, and let me remind you of WP:CIVIL, ya fag. Now fuck off. We ain't changing the Celtic Frost article for you. How do you even manage to breathe, you dipshit?  Rhetorical question, of course. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 18:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

text: OH NO!!! It's a girl!!! I'm so sorry!!! Give me a break.  I don't care if your a half-deer-mouse-hermaphrodite thing, it doesn't change how wrong you are or that you act like a 'tard.  I'm pretty sure I do know more than you as far as metal goes. You pissed off quite a few people with your antics in changing those genres.  And as far as I'm concerned you had the temper.  You got all bent out of shape and kept changing the genres (only to be reverted and told that you were a n00b) and started insulting people on talk pages. Also, you're wrong about Born Again as well.  He doesn't like Korn (I think) and that was only someone posting on his talk page saying they liked Korn, not him.  I don't care what you think my sexual orientation is, idiot, I could care less about your opinion.  Stop blathering on like a total dumbass. Any true fan of black metal would have slapped you by now (or at the very least told you to stop before further making yourself seem stupid).  I suggest some metal training (not from a n00b) from someone who knows their metal. In all seriousness, though, and all insults aside, I have no hard feelings against you (why would I?) but you are acting like a bitch. Cheers! Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

text: First of all, wikipedia is not based on personal opinions! So it seems you have got memory problems? HEAVY METAL COULD BE ALSO A GENERIC TERM! Celtic Frost have changed so many genres over the years, it's better to leave only "heavy metal (see below)". What do you think about this: "Celtic Frost is a thrash/black/death/doom/glam/gothic band", It sounds great! Continue to change the genre but I think you will be blocked for a long time or forever! Cheers! --Born Again 83 (talk) 20:53, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I wanna respond to your still childish ways.  Celtic Frost is not black metal in any form any more.  Just because they once were doesn't mean they can't change styles.  Like, say, Bathory.  And Bathory and Sarcofago's early stuff sounds like black metal to me, so w/e.  It might sound different than the 2nd Wave but as you pointed out it's still black metal.  You said it yourself, "Styles change." I agree.  You're the one who seems to have your head so far up your ass you don't know what way is up or down.  You write like a child and you keep coming back and changing the page only to be reverted.  Thick-headed much? As I said, I already know that I know more about black metal than you.  For your info I don't like CoF or DB and they are not even black metal in the least, so stfu.  Early Satyricon ain't bad, though, but it's hardly the "kvltest."  You won't piss me of by changing the genres, lmao.  You have to do the work, all it takes is for me to click one little button to change it back, lmao.  Go listen to some Impiety or Moonshine, fool. Personal favorites of mine would be Desaster and Sigh, but both those bands are more well known.  Suck it down. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Lol!  I don't know whether to feel honored or what.  First, I was someone who didn't know shit about black metal (and possibly a poser) and now I'm called an elitist. Well, that's almost honorable as elitists at least know their shit.  But I'm not an elitist (as they are total dicks).  That's kinda cute, though...how you changed from one extreme to another. And no, I'm not being sarcastic.  That's cool that you know Moonshine and Impiety.  Them's are good bands! At the very least they are both intriguing as neither play "pure" black metal. *winks* Will do! Oh, and I never said Monotheist didn't have black metal elements in it, but it's still doom more than anything else.  If you want real black/doom listen to Argentum!  I'm definitely interested in your sudden switch of how you talked to me, though.  It was as if you suddenly had more respect for me in your latest comment...less insults, less of an arguement, slightly more civil, etc.  Was it because I mentioned Moonshine and Impiety?  It seems how I suddenyl garnered more respect from you and it could only have been because I mentioned those bands.  A black metal fan would only suddenly show more respect for somebody (when having an arguement over music) if that other bm fan suddenly mentioned some rarer piece of knowledge (like a lesser known band, as I did).  Anyways, I've found our "talks" interesting enough.  I do feel a bit honored by the "elitist" comment even if it may have stung a bit (as I said, I'm not that much of an asshole).  Hope you continue to bring more useful edits to wikipedia about metal (or w/e else). Cheers! TTYL, hopefully. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I also noticed something else interesting.  The ip address you are using (at least the latest one) only has Celtic Frost edits (except one edit to a talk page), but it says two years ago your ip address made two edits to mouse concerning Mickey Mouse.  Very cute.  So that was either your edits or someone else who used the computer you're on two years ago made them.  Anyways, on another subject, I think Celtic Frost should split.  They shouldn't continue without Tom, as it is not CF without Tom.  He is CF.  But it seems they plan to continue right along, even though only one of them is still an original member.  Also, I know metal-archives (Encyclopaedia Metallum) isn't always right as far as genres are concerned (although they are usually right on everything and still are the most comprehensive metal band site out there, having way more bands than any other site) but I thought you might like to know what they label Celtic Frost. They call their genre, "Thrash/Death/Black Metal (early), Avant-Garde (late 80s), Glam (Cold Lake) Gothic/Doom (now)"  http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=269 Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Is that really you? I get confused what with all the different IP addresses.  I can't tell if I'm just talking to one person or a few different ones.  Anyways, in response to your comment: Ah, I see. Well, yes, it's not always good to rush to judgements.  Even though this is wikipedia there are still plenty of "true" metal fans on it I've come to learn.  Yes, the internet is deceptive.  Don't worry, I can get opinionated like that as well*smiles*.  It'll be interesting to see what Tom does. You should make another account.  Otherwise people (like myself) will not know how to reach you or talk to you because of all the different IP addresses.  Hence the reason I'm still posting my comments on this talk page.  I would go to your talk page, but I'm not sure if you will be on it since your IP address keeps changing.  Look forward to talking to you more. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$
Ok well I made a new account. of course I have no idea how to add those things to it, like members of something and stuff. But ill figure it out.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TragicSerenades (talk • contribs) 02:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Feel free to ask me about anything you need to know as far as wikipedia goes and I'll probably be able to assist you. It'll be my pleasure to help. Also feel free to converse with me about anything (such as music or bands, as I enjoyed our conversations on this talk page).  If you would like to communicate with me, go ahead and respond on your talk page (I will put it on my watchlist), or you can click on my name and go to my user page/talk page (if you click on the grey Odin next to my name that will take you directly to my talk page).  If/when you do choose to talk to anyone just remember to sign after your comment with the four tildas, ~~~~, so people can see your name and more easily know who they are talking to. Good luck.

And when exactly did Unala leave the band? There's nothing about it in the 'Reunion (2001-2008)' section. I think he did that shortly before "Monotheist's" release.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.27.79.37 (talk) 13:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The title is pretty self-explanatory on its own. But I also wanted to emphasize on the fact that an editor reverted my edit when I put a general "extreme metal" in the infobox, claiming that doom metal "isn't extreme" and referencing another band having the genre even though that's pretty much unrelated to this case. I mean, CF played a wide variety of metal sub-genres and all of them were extreme (except for that one album on which they played glam metal, maybe), but my point is, we should really just put one genre on the infobox instead of putting a thousand, because not only would that look unprofessional, but it'd also undermine the point of "extreme metal" existing as a page here in WP. I'd really appreciate people's opinions regarding this matter.-Thräshstalker 17:34, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with this sentiment. Celtic Frost is an understandingly difficult artistic vehicle to describe. Extreme metal is a good enough descriptor and where it fails, one can say “a variety of genres” which is not untrue. I think the case for being succinct instead of listing 20 different genres makes itself. HistorianFromSyracuse (talk) 08:42, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
