Alastis was a Swiss extreme metal band formed in Sion, Valais in 1987 under the name Fourth Reich, shifting to black metal and adopting the name Alastis — derived from Alastor, the executioner of hell — in 1989. The band evolved across their career from raw black metal toward gothic and industrial-inflected extreme metal, releasing albums including The Just Law, ...And Death Smiled (1995), and Unity (2001), drawing comparisons to fellow Swiss act Samael. They disbanded in the early 2000s after a run of five studio albums.
