TOM GABRIEL FISCHER Quits CELTIC FROST - Apr. 9, 2008 Swiss avant-garde/metal pioneers CELTIC FROST have released the following statement via their official web site:"CELTIC FROST singer and guitarist Tom Gabriel Fischer has left CELTIC FROST due to the irresolvable, severe erosion of the personal basis so urgently required to collaborate within a band so unique, volatile, and ambitious."It was reported earlier in the year that CELTIC FROST was putting together an album tentatively titled "Monotheist Companion" that will feature unreleased songs from 2006's "Monotheist" sessions and rearrangements of tracks from the album. The disc is tentatively due in the summer.A video interview with a slightly agitated Tom Gabriel Fischer which originally appeared on the "Xtreme Soundscapes Vol. VI" DVD (web site) has been posted on YouTube.CELTIC FROST's video for "A Dying God Coming into Human Flesh", a song taken from their first album in 13 years, "Monotheist", can be viewed below. The fascinatingly gloomy clip was filmed in mid-August 2006 by up-and-coming Swiss director Jessie Fischer (no relation to Tom Gabriel Fischer) in Zürich, Switzerland.

They were still on for Roadburn weren't they? If I'd got my arse in gear to get a ticket I'd be hacked off by now. Their show in Cardiff on the 07 tour was one of the best nights I had last year so y'know, fond memories an' tha'

Roadburn has really suffered from bands cancelling this year.

enslaved is a good replacement!
i haven't got 'monoatheist' yet. but i think i ought to pick it up. been playing 'into the pandemonium' a lot recently. it's totally weird, but really creative and cool. it attempts to vary everything imaginable - musical styles, vocal approaches, tempos, dynamics. totally ambitious, while still smuggling a hard-on for hetfield riffs and solos that would make kerry king proud.

This makes me even more glad that I saw them when they came to Portland on the Into the Pandemonium tour. They were better than I expected they would be fucking awesome.
