"Teutonic thrash metal Teutonic thrash metal is a regional scene of thrash metal music that originated during the 1980s in Germany. Along with Bay Area thrash metal, East Coast thrash metal, and Brazilian thrash metal, it was one of the major scenes of thrash metal in the 1980s. Teutonic is a medieval term for Germanic people. Two bands influential to early Teutonic thrash metal were Destruction, from Lörrach, and the Holy Moses, from Aachen. After hearing Venom, both bands soon changed their sound within a matter of weeks to their new and permanent sound. Other bands soon followed. In 1982,"

According to Ripley the ""Teutonic race"" resided in Scandinavia, Northern France, northern Germany, Baltic states and East Prussia, northern Poland, northern Russia, Britain, Ireland, parts of Central and Eastern Europe and was typified by light hair, light skin, blue eyes, tall stature, a narrow nose, and slender body type. Georges Vacher de Lapouge had called this race ""Homo Europaeus"". Madison Grant, in his book ""The Passing of the Great Race"", took up Ripley's classification. He described a ""Nordic"" or ""Baltic"" type: ""long skulled, very tall, fair skinned, with blond, brown or red hair and light coloured eyes. The"

The Teutons are best known for their participation in the Cimbrian War with the Roman Republic in the late 2nd century BC. The Teutons are generally classified as a Germanic tribe. Some historians have suggested a Celtic origin for the Teutones. It has been suggested that their name is Celtic though this is controversial. Certain ancient writers classify the Teutones as Celts.

"Furor Teutonicus Furor Teutonicus (""Teutonic Fury"") is a Latin phrase referring to the proverbial ferocity of the Teutones, or more generally the Germanic tribes of the Roman Empire period. The original expression is generally attributed to the Roman poet Lucan (d. AD 65). It occurs for the first time in his work ""Bellum civile/Pharsalia"". Lucan used the term to describe what he believed to be the outstanding characteristic of the Germanic tribe called the ""Teutones"": a mad, merciless, berserk rage in battle. The Teutons met with the armies of the Roman Republic in the Eastern Alps around 113 BC. The"

Nordicists claimed that Nordics had formed upper tiers of ancient civilisations, even in the Mediterranean civilisations of antiquity, which had declined once this dominant race had been assimilated.

These differentiations occurred following long-standing claims about the alleged differences between the Nordic and the Mediterranean people.

Of six 'Caucasian' groups Deniker accommodated four into secondary ethnic groups, all of which he considered intermediate to the Nordic: ""Northwestern"", ""Sub-Nordic"", ""Vistula"" and ""Sub-Adriatic"", respectively.
