Great Vid ✌🏽🤘🏽

[@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653]

So... Here I am! First of all I am really sorry for hyping you that much and that you didn't really like it. But at least you appreciate the musicianship of this band and that's all what really counts. But I am not really disappointed by that because you gave it a try and I really appreciate your honesty. This is what makes a reaction a reaction. And yeah: The vocals are a bit unusual, even for a Death Metal band xD.

[@DrewFortune97]

My man! Great to see someone who can appreciate objectivity and not just shit on someone for not fully appreciating something they like!

[@stinkfist6422]

You should have had suggested Spirit Crusher to capture drew fortune's attention towards Death because if he'd listened to that then he would probably had searched for Death himself...

[@darkdeceptionkillsthelight9653]

I think this song is about a lifestyle that is all about buying and consuming. It is nice and cool at first. But later you will get to know the bad sides of it.

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

That's one way to look at it. I think it's more broadly about attachment and the appetites and temptations inherent to material existence.

[@lucay16]

For me its purely about falling in love with a beautiful girl just for it all to be over at one point. Causing you to become insane Passion is poison laced with pleasure bittersweet.

[@dysthymiabearer]

I honestly think its about passions, but bodily passions, sex, lust. I´m pretty sure that Chuck was a person that believed in the existance of a soul, and he had his own way to see how to fulfill the soul, and he probably was against Lust, being this the most pointless sin, and the most disgusting for some people, and Chuck was one of those people. The human flesh and the ways it has to control you, and its passion might be quick, might burn painfully, it has a thousand faces. When the beauty of humans and sex shows its ugly nature within you, just be prepared.

[@lucay16]

[@timmiller2913]

RIP Chuck

[@fraters3025]

I've been a huge Death fan for years, but I wouldn't expect anyone who isn't used to their sound to dig them too much. Their dynamics can be disorienting at first. But rest assured, we would rather you have a real and honest reaction anyway, so thanks for giving it a chance. I second the comment below that you may enjoy Gojira.

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

Oh, he would definitely enjoy Gojira.

[@TheTwoThumbs]

This album changed my life.

[@charlesspence4020]

Richard Christy is the drummer of death and a writer for the Howard Stern show. Just a funny and real guy.

[@FullConcerts100]

Big Homie Steve The Metal Head Gene played on the two albums before this. The whole Death lineup changed for this album which included Richard Christy on the drums.

[@johnmullen4552]

You cant sleep on Death, thanks LS ya legend.

[@rileygraham1506]

I'm glad that guy asked you to react to Death. Chuck was a legend. Such a good band and video. Rock on man!! 🤘🤘

[@robin-38-]

This song is ridiculously amazing

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

If you want to give death metal another chance, the song Eaten by Bloodbath is a legendary song that is super catchy and and the whole song is slow to mid tempo with some really nice, heavy, groovy riffs. Either the studio version or the live a Wacken version are both amazing and worth a reaction. Thanks for staying honest. Love you man!

[@sugarymushroom12]

Thank you for being maybe the first person to suggest that song. God I love nightmares made flesh.

[@occupantvillainyoutbreak]

I think you might like Gojira

[@The7empest]

Coming back to this a couple years later, yeah he LOVED Gojira 🤣🤣

[@barkingmadman1169]

Thanks for listening to new music. And thanks for keeping the integrity of authentic reaction.

[@DrewFortune97]

My pleasure sir!

[@thewildhealer541]

The first song I liked and loved by Death was Without Judgement. I'll recommend some softer metal: Only for the Weak - In Flames

[@thewildhealer541]

And Without Judgement if you ever do Death again. Magical song..

[@NalinX]

I wouldn't recommend Death to you yet. It isn't what death metal has come to be, but its still in the same realm. This album is more progressive metal than death. It takes a few relistens before you see what it's about. But, once you get into it - Death, the band, is a deep rabbit hole. A perfect band who didn't make a bad song. Leave it for later, I say. Go listen to some Rush and Maiden first

[@dhelsgade]

"A deep rabbit hole, a perfect band who didn't make a bad song." Well said, man! The rabbit hole phrase really proves to me that Death is like a "Blackhole" to me. After discovering Death... I don't remember when that was. And after getting used to it, it really consumed my times when it comes to music. Not to mention after getting to know the band evenmore, their history more deeply, about Chuck... it simply becoming one of my favorite band alongside Megadeth, Necrophagist and the other bands. I might even dare to say, it's on number 1 on my favorite band of all time. Before I know Death, I usually always keep find out and discovering about other bands. Although it's an old band or a modern one. But since I discovering Death, I feel like... "I don't need another band, this is more than enough. This is the peak of my band collection." Which is not really a good thing to say. That's how I love Death and Control Denied so much. Whenever I want to relax enjoying a music, to contemplating, to accompanying me to read a book, or seeking a inspiration to write my song, Death always come to mind. It really hard to ignore it, but I have to. Who knows, maybe someday I will find another band that close "a little" to Death. So far, I already have Necrophagist which is with just only two of their album (The whole whole discography I guess) able to making me falling in love with them. Necrophagist is just another level and all the guitarist's dream wish they hope to be. Mohammed is insane. And Gruesome, a total Death worship. Their existence is just solely to keep securing that the Schuldiner legacy will never die \m/ And also, they bring back the osdm sound like. Leprosy & Spiritual Healing era to be precisely. Which is good, though. Everyone loves it \m/

[@StarsDie88]

Glad you gave it a chance. Would have been cool had you released this vid on the 13th because that was the anniversary of the death of Chuck Schuldiner (guitars, vocals and main songwriter) back in December 2001. I kinda consider Death to be the "Tool" of death metal, as they are very artistic and progressive in how they write and perform. Another cool thing about them, is that they are the main pioneers of the genre of death metal from back in the 80s. Their 1987 debut album "Scream Bloody Gore" is kind of considered to be the 1st ever death metal album. Some slight arguments for a few other albums, but IMHO it was the true template for the genre.

[@kylereece1979]

Well, tis fair to say that Death are one of the most respected bands in the more heavier side of the metal spectrum- to an extent, like Tool are in their field. The song you just heard here is from their final album, which was their most progressive, in terms of time/tempo changes, complex arrangements, and a more higher pitched vocal attack than the more deepened, guttural growl associated with Death Metal. Beginning in the mid 80s , their fast, heavy sludged riffs and gore contented lyrics evolved over the course of their albums to technical, intricate virtuosity and more social/poitical lyrics. With the renaissance of skilled solos and technical riffage in metal in the early/ mid 00s, many a modern band cite Death as an influence. From RATM a coupla weeks ago to Death- tis an interesting musical journey, lad! I wozznt a fan of the really really heavier side of metal when I was a chap- it was all grunge with Metallica aswell. Bands like this got going with me some time later, so reacting to some of the more progressive, extreme side o'tings is really interesting to see. Glad ya got to do this, and a good honest constructive reaction.

[@lassemaja8382]

Richard Christy is a stick wielding magician on this record. Great reaction Sir.

[@Mikeanglo]

If you ever wanna hear a song that is absolutely prophetic (for being written 25 years ago), check out Death- 1,000 eyes

[@cathy8ish]

Respect to you Drew for reacting to that for one of your followers !! Nice to see you were honest as well !! I've asked you this on Instagram previously..... Please could you react to "Skindred" singing "Warning" live at Download 2011....... They are a Reggae Heavy Metal band from Wales ! 🤘🤘

[@MakooWallinen]

Death is great and a very good gateway into Death Metal that isn't just "Beat them over the head". And a great inspiration for so many bands. And they are rarely of a one-track mind. Death - Spiritual Healing Death - Leprosy Death - Crystal Mountain Akercocke - Leprosy (Cover) (They are a Blackened Progressive Death Metal band)

[@NaumAlberto]

I recommend Gojira - Flying whales

[@aaronconnell2345]

LS metalhead! That’s not my cup of tea but I can definitely appreciate the talent. The change ups. The speed. Awesome musicians. Nice request!

[@phildigiovanni9687]

I do appreciate you actually doing what one person spammed you over 7 months to do and actually reacted as you should.

[@C0reyTaylor8]

Death is fucking great, check out songs like "Story to Tell", "Zombie Ritual", "Leprosy", "Perennial Quest" and "Empty Words" in the future.

[@mikeyza92]

Great, now react to Voice of the Soul by Death. It's a more relaxed acoustic and electric guitar kinda "ballad." Its very nice and soulful. I'm sure you'll like it.

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

When I was a teenager, my dad periodically received a small catalog in the mail from which we were allowed to choose a handful of CDs to receive for free. One time I couldn't find anything I wanted, so I picked a Death album based entirely on the description. I did not enjoy it. I ended up giving it away to a friend. I can much better appreciate their music now, especially the lyrics, but it's still not something I think I would put on in my car.

[@phildigiovanni9687]

Maynard's bands are really amazing along with his lyricism an overall feel are really good for the soul

[@hjl4754]

Awesome reaction, Death is my favorite band of all time, it's understandable that it was a over the top for you. the founding member Chuck Schuldiner basically set the bar with his band Death, every album has a unique style and sound. Thank you for your reaction.

[@phildigiovanni9687]

A Perfect Circle! their first album was amazing

[@opticFPV]

Death is pretty much chaos in music form lol. They grow on you a bit, it's an acquired taste. Or at least it was for me. I couldn't stand his vocals at first but I've grown to enjoy them. I think for Death Metal, you really need to check out Amon Amarth. I think that "brand" of death metal will click a lot more with you. Maybe check out something like Crack the Sky by them. Then you can move into their older stuff with a more open mind I think.

[@Haniel-tu2ld]

React to Opeth -Deliverence Song

[@byrongardner9299]

Just one more thing. I think you need to dive down the Maynard rabbit hole. His other two bands are amazing as well right up your alley.

[@bartgroot3672]

Ha, finally got around some old video's, good to see a Death song and great reaction! I also had some doubts if I liked the vocals first time hearing. They ended up being my fav band for a decade or so :) Some modern versions aka guitar-extravaganza: Necrophagist - Stabwound. But seeing the death reaction; you won't love the song. Very impressive though!

[@PenkkiPekka]

Thanks LS Metalhead.

[@craigharrelson2908]

Death is amazing. It is death metal however and it’s hard to grasp for new listeners. If it clicks, it clicks, and boom...there’s a whole new world of metal out there lol Try some Creeping Death. They’re a band from Dallas Texas. Death metal but more mid tempo and extremely riffy. Fantastic band that deserves more exposure. I’ve seen them play 4 times and each was better than the last. Also brownie points for their band name being a Metallica song 😎

[@phildigiovanni9687]

Hey Drew long time listener on my PlayStation 4 can't comment when I'm on it but now I'm going to hit you up on my phone to request videos and or music after tool definitely finish undertow
