Tom Gabriel Fischer - Only Death Is Real: An Illustrated History of Hellhammer and Early Celtic Frost 1981–1985

Only Death Is Real: A Descent into the Abyss of Early Metal

Tom Gabriel Fischer, the enigmatic mastermind behind the legendary bands Hellhammer and Celtic Frost, takes you on a raw and visceral journey through the formative years of these groundbreaking metal titans. Only Death Is Real is not your typical band biography; it's a brutally honest and unfiltered account of the creation of a sound that would forever change the landscape of heavy metal.

The book delves deep into the underground scene of early 1980s Switzerland, where Fischer, fueled by a fierce passion for music and a dark fascination with the occult, formed Hellhammer. Through his own words and numerous photographs, Fischer unveils the raw energy, the creative turmoil, and the unbridled aggression that fueled the band's explosive debut.

The narrative then shifts to the birth of Celtic Frost, a more ambitious and multifaceted entity that built upon the foundations of Hellhammer. Witness the band's musical evolution, their struggles with the limitations of the underground scene, and their bold experimentations that pushed the boundaries of metal.

Only Death Is Real is not just a historical document; it's a reflection of the dark and chaotic spirit of the era. Fischer spares no detail in revealing the band's internal conflicts, creative clashes, and personal struggles, painting a complex and ultimately human portrait of a band that dared to challenge the norm.

This is a must-read for any serious metal fan, offering an unparalleled glimpse into the creative firestorm that forged some of the most influential metal bands of all time.

Tom Gabriel Fischer, a true visionary of metal, continues to inspire and challenge with his ongoing musical projects, including his current band Triptykon.
