Tom G. Warrior (Tom Gabriel Fischer) was on tap for Metal superstardom in the late eighties and then as quick as he and CELTIC FROST came to public consciousness they were gone. Personally, I blame the “COLD LAKE” album and the ridiculously limp-wristed photos from that period for the fall but Fischer has his own culprits in mind and tells all about them in this intensively blunt autobiography.
Autobiographies tend to be overly self-aggrandizing but here Fischer lets it all out, the good, the bad and the ugly, which makes for a fascinating read. Truth be told, it isn’t really necessary to have a familiarity with CELTIC FROST at all to enjoy Fischer’s recollections and reasonings but should you already be a fan this is an absolutely unparalleled treasure to own.
I would recommend this biography to any young band that thinks they have what it takes to scale the Metal mountain, Fischer will tell you, it ain’t easy but boy can it be fun. Rare photos and complete discography included.
