In a recent interview with Andrew McKaysmith on the “Scars And Guitars” podcast, Tom Gabriel Fischer, also known as Tom Gabriel Warrior, revealed that he has been in discussions with Reed St. Mark, the former drummer of the iconic metal band Celtic Frost, about the possibility of playing together again. Fischer, a former member of Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, and the current frontman of Triptykon, expressed that he frequently thinks about reuniting with St. Mark, who was a pivotal part of Celtic Frost’s most celebrated lineup.
Fischer mentioned that he has maintained a close friendship with St. Mark, stating, “Reed is still one of my closest friends, and we are still in contact.” The idea of reuniting has been on Fischer’s mind for a long time, and the two have even discussed it on several occasions. Despite the obstacles that led to St. Mark not participating in Celtic Frost’s 2006 comeback album, Monotheist, Fischer hinted at the possibility of the two collaborating on a new project or a live performance, potentially as a tribute to the late Martin Ain, Celtic Frost’s bassist.
The prospect of Fischer and St. Mark playing together again is an exciting one for fans of Celtic Frost, a band that significantly shaped the extreme metal genre with its innovative and boundary-pushing music. While Fischer noted that reuniting the original Celtic Frost lineup is impossible, he remains open to the idea of honoring the band’s legacy through a special project or tribute show. Fischer’s respect for his former bandmates and the impact they had on the metal scene is evident, and any collaboration between these legendary musicians would undoubtedly be highly anticipated.
This news has sparked considerable interest in the metal community, particularly among long-time fans of Celtic Frost who have followed the band’s storied history. Whether this reunion will come to fruition remains to be seen, but the mere possibility has already generated significant buzz in the world of heavy metal.
