Thomas Gabriel Fischer (born july 19, 1963), earlier known by his stage name of "Tom Gabriel Warrior", is a Swiss singer and guitarist. He is considered to be one of the pioneers of the death metal style of singing or growling. Together with Bruce Day and Steve Warrior he formed the seminal thrash/black metal band Hellhammer in 1982. In late 1983, bassist and songwriter Martin Eric Ain joined Hellhammer and the line-up of Fischer, Ain and Day recorded an EP, "Apocalyptic Raids", as well as a series of demos for the German label Noise Records before disbanding in May 1984.
Fischer and Ain joined forces once again and formed black/thrash metal three-piece group called Celtic Frost in June 1984.
Fischer also formed the ebm/industrial rock project Apollyon Sun in 1994.
In 2000 Fischer\'s book "Are You Morbid?: Into the Pandemonium of Celtic Frost" was published by Sanctuary Publishing Ltd (29 Jun 2000) ISBN-10: 1860743102; ISBN-13: 978-1860743108. It received many favourable reviews, including this from Record Collector: "Intelligent, humble, questioning, insightful - the cultured side of extreme metal."
He currently plays an Ibanez H.R. Giger series Iceman guitar.
In 1985, Fischer was asked to co-produce and sing on the first demo, titled Death Cult, by fellow Swiss group Coroner. Fischer also wrote the lyrics for the recorded songs. Two of the members of Coroner formed part of Celtic Frost\'s road crew until 1986.
Fischer also performed in Probot on the song "Big Sky"
