“World of Warcraft.” It unites all kinds of folks… including singers of death metal bands.

A few months ago, I heard that the frontman of veteran metal outfit Cannibal Corpse was quite passionate about his love for the best-selling MMORPG (and his hatred of the in-game faction the Alliance). So when the Metal Blade Records 25th Anniversary Tour came to the tri-state area, I knew I had to try to talk to George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher about it firsthand (I was planning on going to the show anyway).Even as an experienced “World of Warcraft” player, I had a bit of trouble following his ramblings… but he was certainly fun to talk to. Later that night, he went on stage to belt out classic Cannibal Corpse songs such as “Vomit the Soul,” “Hammer Smashed Face” and “Five Nails Through the Neck.”
