In current "awww, maaan" news, Tom Gabriel Fischer announced today he has quit Celtic Frost. "Huh? Quit?!?" you say. "Didn't Tommy G, the ultimate "Warrior" hisself, start the Celty F? Ain't that him behind them chuggaling guitar riffings and song-startin' grunts?" Yup. We don't quite get it either and we think a CF without Tom GF sounds kinda like a Journey without Schon, a Maiden without Blaze, or a Mercyful Fate without the King.
All we do know is that this means Celtic Frost has broken up once again, and this time it sounds like it's for good. The Duty's dug on these guys only since we became super-scary last April, but we're misting up a bit thinking about how we'll never get to see the unbelievably heavy Frost of the mid-00's play the undergroundably classic tunes of the Frost of the early-80s. At least we still have this:
Celtic Frost, we hardly knew ye. We'll fire up some Alien in your honor.
