Metal Chris of DCHeavyMetal.com conducted an interview with former HELLHAMMER/CELTIC FROST and current TRIPTYKON singer, guitarist, and main songwriter Tom Gabriel Fischer (a.k.a. Tom Gabriel Warrior) late last month at the Maryland Deathfest XIIITune mere jaana kabhi nahi jaana mp3 free download songs pkr. in Baltimore, Maryland.

Asked if he prefers playing older songs or he likes performing the TRIPTYKON stuff more, or whether it is all just kind of the same to him, Tom responded: 'It's exactly the same to me. If I had my way, CELTIC FROST would have existed for many more albums. Unfortunately, certain people's grand designs on their own fame and certain egotistical stunts interfered with that. And, eventually, the band became so unworkable that I personally said the only option that was left was leaving it. I formed TRIPTYKON, but in essence, it's exactly the same thing I did with CELTIC FROST. It's simply minus the egotism and the personality stunts. Even though it's younger people, behind the scenes TRIPTYKON is far more mature than CELTIC FROST ever was. But musically, the whole infrastructure around the band, and my approach, and the way I produce and everything, it's exactly the same. It's basically what I would have done had CELTIC FROST persevered. So, to me, the CELTIC FROST songs merge perfectly with the TRIPTYKON songs. I really don't see a difference. We try to strike a balance, because TRIPTYKON is not just me, it's four people, and I don't just wanna be a CELTIC FROST cover band. I think it's fair enough to play half-half — half newer songs, half older songs — but I think we're doing fine like that. 18th birthday program sample.

Regarding the possibility of a CELTIC FROST reunion, Tom said: 'I'm afraid that's impossible, yeah. I mean, there's no more animosity between me and Martin [Eric Ain, bass] — we just met, actually, a few weeks ago, as we do from time to time — but I think that window has closed. Even though Martin once said, 'Yeah, we'll play music together again,' but after that gargantuan disappointment, I don't think I wanna set myself up for yet another one. CELTIC FROST was my life, and losing that twice wasn't very easy. And I don't trust these people anymore. I invested so much time and so much of my personal money and effort and my songs and my production and everything into the 'Monotheist' album, and I did this because I believed the band could exist for many years. Then I felt betrayed and stabbed in the back. And I really… If I would ever get involved with that again, it would probably end the same, and I don't wanna do that. TRIPTYKON is a circle of friends, and I prefer that. And, you know, anything I wanna do creatively, I can do it in TRIPTYKON.'

In a 2011 interview with BigMusicGeek.com, Tom was asked at what point he realized that his tenure with CELTIC FROST was once again coming to an end. 'To be quite honest, I had sensed it for some time,' he replied. 'I just didn't want to admit it.

'CELTIC FROST was much more than just a band to me. It was my life, my ideology and pretty much represented my entire being. Of course, I didn't want to see it destroyed again, so despite having all the inside information, I tried to disrupt its destruction and probably stayed too long even though it was fairly obvious that I couldn't face the band. Actually, I blame the final drummer of CELTIC FROST for the destruction of the band. If Martin has any part of this, it's his inactivity that opened the door to this. He simply did not want to involve himself in anything negative, which, on one hand, is commendable, but on the other hand, it's simply not realistic in this world or within a band that works under pressure twenty four hours a day. You simply have to be a man and be involved, especially if certain personal conflicts threaten the whole band. Martin was initially reluctant to become involved and that basically opened the door for one person to let his ego run freely until there was really nothing left of the band.'

This album is pretty bad, but it's got some good traits that go along with it. Though, the annoying, 'jock-singing' is just flat-out retarded. And so with the introduction of this record. Seriously, if you guys had doubts about releasing this, you shouldn't have done so..it's just totally lame, and to take this album seriously..is another joke.. The band have become so stale this time around, it's almost mind-boggling.
The female vocals are a nice twist. But a little corny. Thomas' vocals are so stupid. He sounds like a kid from high school, who's a total reject. And the voice he uses is a fucking joke. Reminds me of a clown on a football team in America, too. And that dumb intro track with the fucking weird 'bass' thumps was so, so stupid.. I mean, really. It sounded so 'modern' at that time. Cubase 5 full rar. This band sure did struggle after their 1985 release, I'm not kidding. Even the lyrics are fucking bad, too. They sound so..'dramatic' and 'attention-seeking-like'.
The guitars are, however, better than everything else on this release. They provide some interesting, smooth riffing of all the strings. Really fancy guitar work and melodic and heavy shredding solos. It's backed-up by the decent bass production in the background, for the actual touch of 'vast greatness'. The riffs are a little technical, but generally groovy and simplistic. The drums are a little boring. I feel like the drummer is performing more 'rock 'n' roll' than'metal' at this point. It's a little dumb. The drumming sounds generally lazier than it should. Not good for a band that has gained such high respects.
You would think that, based on the artwork, that this album would've been good. But no, it's actually pretty bad. The artwork seemed so good, too. A shame it was thrown away because of the horrible ideas that went into the main construction of piece (of shit). I began to hate the record more as it progressed more..and..more..and then I felt it was just a mistake, in general. I'm totally annoyed by the dumb remarks this album creates. It's basically a bad joke. This could have been Celtic's best record, but instead it's the least-best effort..they have given up on themselves this time.
The atmosphere and literal feeling of this album, seem overly childish. It's like living another life in your mind, as a 'child' in school and you want to relive your life as an actual child. It feels messed up and I'm not happy at-all about this record turned out. It's almost 'uncomfortable' to listen to..even once is difficult, believe me. Everything is so underwhelming, with bad musical ideology. Though, it's worth noting that the artwork's background looks like the 'Shadow Realm' from 'Yu-Gi-Oh! - Duel Monsters'. Probably created by Yami Marik or Yami Bakura. Regardless..the artwork is the second-best part of the record, behind the guitars and their melodies. This album is pretty much on par with everything that 'Car Door Dick Smash' have released..period.
