Hellhammer was a Swiss extreme metal band from Nürensdorf, active from 1982 to 1984. Although the band's sound and style were heavily criticized and poorly reviewed during their active years,[2] they have been widely praised in retrospect and are often regarded as a key influence on black metal.[3][4] In June 1984, Hellhammer disbanded but two of its members soon formed the influential extreme metal band Celtic Frost.[5]
