About Thomas Gabriel Fischer
Thomas Gabriel Fischer (born 19 July 1963), also known by the stage names Tom Warrior and Satanic Slaughter, is a Swiss musician. He led the extreme metal bands Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, and is currently the frontman of the bands Triptykon and Triumph of Death. == Career == Fischer was born in a small village in Switzerland and his parents were motorcycle racer and journalist Klaus Fischer and tailor and "diamond smuggler" Eva. They divorced when Fischer was six years old. Fischer started his musical career in 1981 in two short lived heavy metal bands with the same members - Tarot and Grave Hill. Members at that time were: Tom Fischer (bass / guitar), Alfredo “Stonehead” Pappalardo (bass), Alois “Jay Blackwood” Wendelin (drums), Philipp “Phil Hunter” Veraguth (vocals) and Urs Sprenger (vocals). The band unusually had two bassists, and Fischer and Sprenger took the stage names "Tom G. Warrior" and "Steve Warrior" as a homage to NWOBHM bands of the time that had brothers in them: Raven and Tank. Fischer ("Tom Warrior"), now on guitar along with Grave Hill member Urs Sprenger ("Steve Warrior") on bass and Pete Stratton (real name Peter Ebneter) on drums, formed the metal band Hammerhead in May 1982. Stratton was soon replaced by former Moorhead drummer Bruce "Denial Fiend" Day (real name Jörg Neubart), and the band changed its name to Hellhammer that same year. In late 1983, bassist and songwriter Martin Eric Ain joined Hellhammer, and the lineup of Fischer, Ain, and Day recorded the EP Apocalyptic Raids, as well as a series of demos for the German label Noise Records, before disbanding in May 1984.
