In the early Eighties, Tom G. Warrior's first band Hellhammer was the laughingstock of the metal underground. Now, nearly 40 years later, the former Celtic Frost leader is in the midst of a 'mindblowing' resurgence
“death metal [at] its extreme ” and compared Fischer’s singing to [Motörhead’s] “Lemmy with a mouthful of warts.” Fischer was crestfallen and the negative press only hurt the band.
Now that he’s finally playing Hellhammer’s primal songs live, he’s at peace with the music. “Maybe it sounds strange in the context of extreme metal and first-wave black metal, but it was a lot of fun, actually,” he says in early August, between Triumph of Death gigs. “It’s not a surprise. I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, and I knew it was going to work. So it was an absolutely fantastic feeling.” likely would have been a tall order for Warrior in the band’s heyday.
When Warrior listens back to Hellhammer’s recordings now, he no longer feels the embarrassment he felt when the metal press castigated the group for playing so primitively. Although he was adamant at the time that the band was purely metal , he now hears it as a crossover between punk and metal. Most of the punk influence in the band came from bassist-vocalist Steve Warrior , whom Tom calls a “die-hard punk.” The two of them were fans of Discharge, GBH, and Anti-Nowhere League.
The only song he won’t endorse now is the title track of Hellhammer’s “Satanic Rites” demo. The track has a staticky, descending guitar riff and lyrics that are particularly misogynistic, as he sings about dismembering a girl and raping her corpse. Today, he calls the track indefensible. “It’s a song I wrote after enduring an extremely difficult youth due to the actions of my mother, a person who descended into insanity while I was a child,” he says.
But it’s Hetfield who gets most of Warrior’s ire. “This is completely personal, and I know probably the majority of your readers will not share this feeling, but even if they had done a fantastic job, I could puke all over it because I don’t support people who go hunting bears for a hobby,” he says. “I cannot respect a person like that, even if it’s a genius musician.”stride with Celtic Frost, a project he led initially alongside Ain into the early Nineties.
