George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher

Fisher was born in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 8, 1970. He developed an interest in horror fiction and comic books at an early age. He taught himself how to sing by attempting to emulate the vocal performances of his influences, such as Tom Araya of Slayer, Chuck Schuldiner of Death, Glen Benton of Deicide, John Tardy of Obituary, and Dave Vincent of Morbid Angel. He recalled, "My vocal coaches were basically all my records - any record that had the photo of the band or the lyrics on the back of the cover, I would line them up in my room." Fisher has stated that during his formative years, he was determined to learn the entirety of the lyrics to the albums and songs he was attempting to emulate.

Fisher is apolitical and has never voted in an election. He said: "I never will, ‘cause I don’t trust one of ‘em. And that might be stupid on my part, but I haven’t seen anything since I’ve been born to make me believe that every single thing that they say they’re gonna do, they try to do. I mean, some of it’s just a load of [bullshit]. However, he expressed support to NFL players taking the knee. According to him: "Maybe some people wouldn’t like my opinion about things. I obviously have opinions about things happening in the world, but for the most part, I’m just not going to be an activist. I definitely believe that there are people who are wrong, and I believe that there are people who have been wronged."

Fisher is irreligious, denouncing religion as "a scam". Regarding Christianity and Jesus Christ, he was quoted saying: "Maybe the man was real, maybe he wasn’t. …
