Tom G. Leaves Celtic Frost 2008-04-09 by SoulReaper | 10 Comments | The Celtic Frost website has posted the following message:
"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."
There are no further details at the moment but as soon as there are they will be posted

The following statment has been posted on Tom G.'s website.
"I am devastated beyond description, and I am infinitely disappointed. As the one member of Celtic Frost who is exposed most dramatically to the feedback by our audiences and the media, I feel troubled and humiliated about being unable to honor the enormous goodwill extended to Celtic Frost during the past few years and meet the justified expectations of our fans.
I have always seen the "Monotheist" album as a mere beginning, and a tame one at that. My mind and spirit are full of energy, creativity, and ideas. Celtic Frost had become the unreserved focus of my life for the second time. I was looking forward immeasurably to working on the next Celtic Frost album. To me, it needed to be darker, heavier, and more experimental than "Monotheist".
And yet, Celtic Frost consisted of three individuals, and I was only one of them. In the end I had to concede to myself that there was no other option.
My friendship with and respect for Martin Eric Ain remain unaffected. Moreover, I am in the process of assessing my options to eventually complete, record, and release some of the ideas I originally created for Celtic Frost and the planned next album in the course of the past few years, and to take our distinctive music out on the road again."

Gay!
Their last album was mediocre!
| | | Gay is right... i did how ever enjoy Monotheist.... its really to bad... i really was looking forward to seeing CF live.
| | | I don't understand at all
| | | isn't he like the whole band
| | | I've always found this band to be rather boring and that Cold Lake album is such a joke. Anyone seen the music video for Cherry Orchards? It's a good laugh.This Message Edited On 04.10.08
| | | yeah this guy basically is celtic frost. whatever he does next will sound exactly like them so there isn't really anything here to get upset about. monotheist was bad-ass, if he says it's tame then i look forward to whatever he does next
| | | I don't know why he didn't just fire the other members and continue under the Celtic Frost moniker.
| | | this is gay
i enjoyed monotheist although morbid tales still takes the cake for me
| | | Wow. This band is done now. He was (like other people are saying) basically the whole band.
| | | What a shame for Celtic Frost. I look forward to hearing what Fischer will release in the future though.
