What exactly is the criteria for being considered "teutonic"?

I believe that Teutonic just refers to being German.

Like Accpet has that song "Teutonic Terror".

I may not be 100% right, or there may be other elements. Because I don't think Coroner and Celtic Frost are German...so maybe it's a bigger region than just Germany?

I thought it meant being German too, but apparently it's a little more inclusive...

The term "Germanic" or "Teutonic" originated in classical times, when groups of tribes were referred to using this term by Roman authors. For them, the term was not necessarily based upon language, but rather referred to tribal groups and alliances who were considered less civilized, and more physically hardened, than the Celtic Gauls living in the region of modern France. Tribes referred to as Germanic in that period lived generally to the north and east of the Gauls.

In modern times the term occasionally has been used to refer to ethnic groups who speak a Germanic language and claim ancestral and cultural connections to ancient Germanic peoples.[3] Within this context, modern Germanic peoples include the Norwegians, Swedes, Danes, Icelanders, Germans, Austrians, English, Dutch, Afrikaners, Flemish, Frisians and others

Anywho, I voted Kreator, since that's the only one on the list I own.

Interesting, well there you go.

And as a coincidental aside, as I was reading your response, SOD's "Whatever Happened to Celtic Frost?" came on.
