George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (born July 8, 1969) is an American extreme metal vocalist for the American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, the lesser-known melodic death metal band Paths of Possession, and the lesser-known extreme metal supergroup Serpentine Dominion. He recorded two albums with Florida's Monstrosity before leaving and joining Cannibal Corpse in late 1995, replacing vocalist Chris Barnes, who is now the vocalist for Six Feet Under. He also provided guest vocals for New York technical death metal band Suffocation on the songs "Reincremation" and "Mass Obliteration" from their debut album, Effigy of the Forgotten, as well as guest vocals for California deathcore band Suicide Silence on the song "Control" from their fourth album, You Can't Stop Me. Fisher also performed guest vocals on Job for a Cowboy's 2014 album Sun Eater on the song "The Synthetic Sea." As a death metal vocalist, Fisher employs the "death growl" extended vocal technique.
Fisher is from Baltimore, Maryland. He is married and has two daughters.
Fisher is a fan of Death, Dethklok, Slayer, Morbid Angel, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Metallica. He said, "I am a fan of live records. Unleashed in the East by Judas Priest is probably one of the all-time greatest live records ever put out. I also like the Sodom live disc they put out a while ago, and of course Iron Maiden's classic Live After Death. I also think the live Deicide disc When Satan Lives is great too. Glen Benton's vocals are so powerful." "I listen to a lot of straight edge stuff, you know, from the eighties." He is also an avid player of World of Warcraft. He is a fan of the U.S. Olympic Women's Curling Team, San Antonio Spurs, Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL, and the Denver Broncos.
