Death- Left To Die REACTION!!!

[@chris01bouz]

Death are one of the originator bands of Death Metal that started in the mid to late 1980s. Their lead vocalist/guitarist and main composer Chuck Schuldiner was one of the most influential musicians of the whole early Death Metal scene influencing many bands that came after them. Unfortunately, Chuck passed away from Brain Cancer back in 2001. He is very much revered as one of the Godfathers of the whole genre.

[@kennethfreeman6719]

It's definitely not as heavy. But my introduction to Death was "the philosopher" the first time my cousin and I heard it as boys we were in awe. Slower song than what you just heard but not as blistering of a pace. RIP Chuck

[@royalhighlandcrusader5821]

I wanted to see Death so bad. I was too young to travel while he was alive. I did get to see the Total Control Tour in 93. Obituary, Cannibal Corpse (Chris on vo kills) , Malevolent Creation. Best $12 ticket ever.

[@Brandon-zn8rf]

That One Metal Guy - Jesus dude. It’s a figure of speech highlighting the fact that many death metal musicians were inspired by Chuck. This conversation is why purists are so annoying and dissuade others from getting interested in music. Whether it’s metal, Jazz, or prog rock. Glad we agree that Death is awesome though.

[@lefthook4878]

Death IS the reason the death metal genre exists. GOD MODE CHUCK SCHULDINER! R.I.P. You cannot say death metal without saying DEATH Death's early work, Scream Bloody Gore and Leprosy were more centered around, blood, gore, death, doom and gloom, typical horror movie subject material. They are the ' adolescent" version of Death. Everything after Leprosy took on a more philosophical lyrical composition, focusing on life, religion, society, addictions, people's hopes and fears, the human condition, so Spiritual Healing, Human, Individual Thought patterns, Symbolic, and The Sound OF Perseverance are more " mature" albums by Death. With the growing of meanings outside of the gloom and doom; incorporation of the human condition and philosophical messages, the musicianship progressed, and Chuck , being not only one of the early founders of death metal as a genre, expanded to also become one of the early founders of progressive death metal incorporating multiple time signatures, arrangements and overall more progressive and complex arrangements as each album was released. Death is and always will be one of my favorite bands.

Fabrício Amaro da Silva no doubt, I was broken when I found out he passed and went into a depression about, I bet 2-3 months. His death hit me really really hard. He has always been my #1 music inspiration of all time. R. I. P. Chuck!! The song "moment of Clarity" where he is gripping to hold onto life due to his brain tumor was just so emotional. You can hear it in his solo after Hamm ripps your your face off with his shredd runs and face ripping sweeps Chuck comes in dumping his heart into that lead with so much feel. Probably my favorite solo exchange in any of Deaths songs.

Everything Death did was great. Chuck Schuldiner, who was the Songwriter/Lead Singer/Guitarist, unfortunately died at the end of 2001 of cancer. Every album has it's own flavor and they pushed the boundaries of heavy music, especially Death Metal, of which they are considered by most to be the first true Death Metal band. He was kind of like the Frank Zappa of metal. He hired the best musicians around to play on his albums; the line-ups are always different. My personal favorite album is "Individual Thought Patterns". You should react to song "Overactive Imagination" remastered version. Keep rockin'! \,,/

[@murk4552]

Black dude who is a huge Metal fan, listen to the song with the lyrics next time. Chuck's vocals improve on every album, especially on Sound of Perseverance, they literally "cut" through the midrange on production. "Spiritual Healing" has to be the one that gives me nightmares, "Altering The Future" or "Together As One". I recommend listening to all those albums by them, Chuck gets more positive and humane around Human and later "Progressive Metal" albums they blend with their signature Technical Death Metal twist, but shows flashes of it in early songs "Power of the Mind". "Symbolic" and "The Sound of Perseverance" easily his most brilliant work as a lyricist/songwriter in more forward thinking-positive subject matter, enjoy sista! 😃

[@quyle9483]

Asian dude here one of my all time favorites listening from Chuck in middle school was the album Symbolic. Had a garage band a did a few cover songs was a good time. Symbolic was probably my favorite for lyrics and somewhat progressive sound back at the time.

[@andychinn7674]

Sounds of Perseverance albumn was done when Chuck was going through brain tumor, a divorce plus music Industry was wanting him to go mainstream. Their older stuff like Scream bloody gore, leprosy was more about horror and gore then they started maturing later on. He gets really deep with his lyrics as time goes on. They become real technical and melodic on Individual thought patterns albumn, Really tasteful on Symbolic, the Sounds of Perseverance albumn well It's the greatest metal albumn of all time IMO. Oh yeah Death Human is just balls to the wall right ftom the rip. You asked about nightmarish songs maybe Pull the plug or Zombie Ritual. Like I said their older stuff was horror and gore based until they started to evolve some. Chuck Schuldner is a legend and the King of this genre.. They have an albumn spiritual healing and James Murphy plays Lead as well on Albumn. James. Murphy probably one of the top if not the best death metal lead guitarist in this genre. Another thing about Chuck is he recruited different musicians for his Albumns and they all have a different feel to them moving forward from Spiritual Healing. They are worth looking into more. You reacted to one of their more simpler songs which is still ahead of it's Time. Compare that one to let's say Mentally Blind or maybe Scavenger of Human Sorrow. You got to put into account as well he plays this stuff while singing. Many have came along and attempted but still couldnt hold a candle to Chuck. I promise you if you look into them more you will grow a great appreciation on how great of musicians they are.

That old death is hard to grasp for newbies. Chuck was a musical genius, and earned his place in history !

[@metalheadrailfan]

You wanted to know more about Death, well here ya go. Death was formed in Orlando, Florida in 1983 by Chuck Schuldiner after his first band Mantas disbanded. Chuck was the band's sole original member for the entire longevity of the group and on later albums opted for session musicians rather than a full-time band. The band released their first album, *"Scream Bloody Gore"* in 1987 and is often considered the first Death Metal album (Possessed's 1985 debut "Seven Churches" is also given this claim, leading to much debate). The lineup for SBG included the only appearance by future Autopsy dummer/vocalist, Chris Reifert, while Chuck recorded at guitars and bass. The second album, *"Leprosy"* was released the following year. This lineup included then-Massacre drummer Bill Andrews and bassist Terry Butler (who now plays in Obituary) and former Mantas guitarist Rick Rozz. About a year about Leprosy was released, Rozz was dismissed from the band and replaced by guitarist James Murphy (who has an impressive resume all his own). 1990 saw the release of *"Spiritual Healing"* , which was different in a lyrical sense as this was more of a social commentary than just full on splatterfests like on SBG and Leprosy. Later that year, the band was scheduled to do a European tour and Chuck was going through a lot of personal struggles at the time and felt the tour was poorly organized, but the rest of the band decided to take off without him to meet the contract requirements. Chuck was furious by this and subsequently fired Andrews, Terry, Murphy and the roadies who replaced him. This was the point Chuck decided to recruit session musicians for all future albums and here, he brought Cynic guitarist Paul Masvidal and drummer Sean Reinert and Sadus bassist Steve Di Giorgio. This combination resulted in one of death metal's biggest game changers in 1991: *"Human"* . This record practically gave birth to one of Death Metal's first off-shoots that combined the brutality and aggression of the genre with elements found in Progressive music, Tech Death. Lyrically, this album continued the social commentaries that were found on Spiritual Healing. Two years later, Chuck again had to change the lineup, this time bringing then-former Dark Angel drummer (and drumming god) Gene Hoglan and King Diamond guitarist Andy LaRoque into the mix, with Di Giorgio still on bass. The result was 1993's *"Individual Thought Patterns"* . While retaining the prog element from Human, ITP went for a lot more twists and turns, while Human was more in-your-face. LaRoque was unable to tour due to commitments with King Diamond and was replaced with guitarist Ralph Santonlla. 1995 saw the release of *"Symbolic"* , one of death metal's most quintessential releases. With Hoglan still behind this kit, this album featured guitarist Bobby Koelble and bassist Kelly Conlon. By this time, Chuck was trying to distance himself from Death Metal, as he felt the genre had been over-saturated with bands not bringing anything new to the table and was getting annoyed by genre labeling and being restricted to that box. Also, lots of people were calling him "The Godfather of Death Metal" and he was very uncomfortable with that and tried to modestly tried to give the proper credit to bands that came before him, including Possessed. Chuck set Death aside and formed a new project named Control Denied and brought in a lineup of then unknown musicians: Shannon Hamm on guitar, Scott Clendenin (RIP 2015) on bass and Chris Williams on drums (RIP 1999), later replaced by Richard Christy (now known as the drummer on the Howard Stern radio show). However, when Chuck signed both Death and Control Denied to Nuclear Blast Records, the contract included that the group make a Death album first. The result was 1998's *"The Sound of Perseverance"* , a masterpiece album in it's own rights and would be Death's final release. With that end of the contract met, Chuck was now able to focus solely on Control Denied. Hiring vocalist Tim Aymar and bringing back Di Giorgio on bass, the band released their debut *"The Fragile Art of Existence"* in 1999. Sonically and lyrically, it continued the direction Death was going in around the time Symbolic and SOP were released, but there was no death metal to be found. Instead was a powerful Progressive/Power Metal sound with Aymar providing clean vocals. Sadly this would be the group's only release as in 1999, Chuck was diagnosed with brain cancer and went through extensive chemo-therapy and surgeries to remove it. Thankfully it was removed in 2000, but in May 2001 it returned and the operation bills had depleted his finances. Chuck's illness worsened when he contracted pneumonia and died on December 13, 2001. While Chuck was recovering, he had begun work on the second Control Denied album, which would have been titled *"When Man and Machine Collide."* He had already recorded his guitars and Christy's drum tracks, but Chuck passed before they could finish. Since his passing there were talks on trying to finish the album, but recently there is doubt that it will ever happen.

[@josephfrezza5822]

The look on your face when the vocals hit was priceless! lol

[@h1te]

The darkest Death track is also on the Leprosy album it`s called "Pull the Plug" Death are death metal, the first death metal band. They moved away from this sound to a more technical, progressive sound. Always a great band though, R.I.P Chuck.

[@Tricker-the-licker]

It's a real shame chuck died, he was such a nice guy. By far the nicest guy there ever was, it's so fucking sad he is gone. The man was a Titan in metal music, death metal would not be what it is without him. Death and the bands that followed, are proper extreme metal.

[@biffbutkus8185]

This is new and don't know if you visit this page anymore but Death metal is an acquired taste kind of like beer. You can be a metal head and not like it the first couple of times you listen to it but at least with this band you can somewhat understand the vocals. A lot of death metal is hard to follow but technically, guitars, bass and drums it is some of the best metal out there. Just get use to the vocals and you got it. By the way, Death, the band, is not the first death metal band but one of the godfathers of death metal and the lead singer/lead guitar player/songwriter was an incredible talent. Unfortunately he passed but their music lives forever!

[@slingslang2934]

For this being your first listen of Death and still getting into it I applaud you.

[@snø_music0]

I really like the tone of this album it sound so different to me then other albums

[@DankSeouls]

Because they were definitely having fun making this album that's why. I think he took a more serious approach afterward with Spiritual Healing and so forth. Aside from Open Casket, I feel like all the songs on this album are just fictional writings of classic metal with good lyricism, so they are just having a blast shredding out and recording.

[@raczedvard]

​@@DankSeouls I think this album is also pretty serious, like leprosy, pull the plug. Sure not on the level of spiritual healing but a major step up from their first album, not dissing the first one is really gritty, grotesque and i love it, if hell has a soundtrack it would be Scream bloody gore, and Hell awaits by Slayer ofc.

[@DankSeouls]

Yeah because their nature as musicians are to always be professional the line ups always had that going for them. But at this time it was really just 4 dudes playing their ass off because they wanted to share with everyone instead of taking the idea of the band seriously I guess, except Chuck probably.@@raczedvard

These guys are the pioneers of Death Metal which in turn gave birth to genres like Grindcore and screamo.

Yes I agree with one of the comments below. Bolt Thrower were also one of the late 80s bands who helped pioneer and cement the Death metal music scene. They're from the UK and sing of nothing but war. Which i've always loved. Their original drummer and life-long friend Martin “Kiddie” Kearns passed away in 2015 RIP. For such heavy music it has some awesome guitar harmonies. Check out Bolt Thrower - Mercenary (also album title) But this is their most melodic album and i had a hard time suggesting a song so I went w title track. Nice tempo with great guitar work and his vocals are mostly understandable unlike many Death metal bands.

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

Death is from the 80's (R.I.P. Chuck Shuldiner) and was one of my favorite bands. Seen them at the Florida Theater with DRI in Orlando FL.

[@bioblastbeats6450]

Chuck Schuldiner is the Vocalist AND Lead Guitarist AND Songwriter, he was a visionary and a virtuoso and his later releases are amazingly technical, progressive, beautiful compositions (Symbolic)... but anything off of Leprosy (Open Casket, Pull The Plug) or Scream Bloody Gore (Zombie Ritual, Mutilation) are subtly musically sophisticated but sound like they were scraped from the bowels of a decaying corpse. And the best part of Death as a band is you're going to find rabid fans whose favorite Death albums are all different, there is no one definitive favorite Death album!

[@res_publica_romana]

Well said Sir, totally agree. All 7 albums are great in and of themselves and all are different from one another. You can hear a constant progression of Chucks abilities, opinions and preferences in his music.

[@FloodlandX]

Chuck of Death basically started the whole scene known as Death Metal..he died of a Brain tumor and he was an amazing guitarist and song writer and all around great person...the world is alittle smaller with him not in it...he just got away from years of managers and people keeping his hard earned money from him and started a new band and things started to go his way and then he went and saw a doctor because of neck pain and head aches and found out he had a Brain tumor and went through treatments and everything and basically because of money the doctors wouldn't save him and he died in his very early 30s.

[@dmusiclife5727]

They were a huge part of the underground death metal scene out of Florida in the 90's . Wish you checked out "Lack Of Comprehension" that track musically was on another level when they released it. Very technical. The singer has passed but left a musical legacy

[@gamble71]

Found Death on their third album, Spiritual Healing. Their early albums were primitive, but laid the ground work for what would become one the most most progressive death metal bands ever. I suggest some of their later work, and his last band Control Denied.

[@BakaTheStruggler]

Yes! I love Death (the band, lol) but I'm more of a fan of their last four albums, which were infused with Progressive Metal rather than being pure Death Metal. I would love to see you react to Spirit Crusher, Flesh and the Power it Holds, Scavenger of Human Sorrow, Zero Tolerance, and 1000 Eyes. As for a similar band/artist, Ihsahn is another huge one in that scene. Some awesome songs from him that I recommend are Invocation, Called by the Fire, Homecoming, Scarab, Emancipation, Barren Lands, and After.

[@m.ericwatson968]

Chuck Shuldiner was the mastermind behind Death, an amazing guitarist and songwriter; just a mild-mannered Jewish kid from Tampa, Fl. whose parents gave him endless encouragement and room to grow as an atists and musician. He mastered guitar scales and modes and pretty much created his own brand of heavy metal, the way he heard it in his head, which became the inception of death metal. More complex song structuring, more tempo changes, amazing melodies and leads and solos deriving from "exotic" guitar scales not often used in most modern Western music. As far as his vocal style, I myself being a fan of metal for decades, am not that into that style of metal vocal delivery, but he was far and above most doing the same vocal style, (if you notice you can still actually understand [most of] his lyrics.) As far as darkest song[s] by Death, that's a tough one, as he delved deeper into internal and external moral and social issues and the human condition as his music progressed, so anything from the albums Human through to his final work, The Sound of Perseverance, are rife with blistering observations of a modern world going horribly wrong. But yes, he was actually a cool, easy going, happy-go-lucky guy, I guess those things got to him so much, he found an avenue to release that frustration and confusion, so it is theraputic and cathatrtic...as most music is, I suppose.

Charles Michael Schuldiner (May 13, 1967- December 13, 2001) American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He founded the pioneering band Death. Schuldiner is often referred to as "The Godfather of Death metal" He was one of the most significant figures in the history of metal. He was ranked No. 10 in The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists book. On his 32nd birthday, Schuldiner was diagnosed with a high grade malignant type of brain cancer that invades the brainstem. Schuldiner received chemotherapy with vincristine. Used in the treatment of cancer, the side effects were harsh and weakened him greatly. He's condition worsened as he became ill with pneumonia. Schuldiner died on December 13, 2001.

The Late Chuck Schuldiner was the mastermind behind this band. He was born on Long Island, raised in Florida. the band Death was the start of the sub-genre of Death metal. Most of their songs are of this intensity, but don’t let the sound fool you, Chuck Schuldiner was one of the nicest, happiest guys in metal. If you watch interview clips of him, he’s always got a smile on his face and he loves to talk about different kinds of subjects both in and out of music. Sadly, we all lost Chuck of brain cancer in 2001. Chuck may no longer be around, but he lived on through the fans of his music.

Kinda hard to really grasp who a band is when you hear their earliest work but with Death and Chuck's writing you can feel his vision of going beyond what's expected and in their last 2 albums I think his maturity as a song writer and his guitar playing are next level. I'd put both (flesh and the power, symbolic) in my top 5 metal albums . Watch Death live at Eindhoven. We should all bow and heap praise on Chuck. Also, love your channel so much. Glad I found you.

[@ancientloredude]

This album came out in 1988, and I purchased it while overseas in Germany. I had heard the band's earlier work, but this album was a departure for them, as they introduced more melodic structure in their songs. It got even more avant-garde garde later on in the 1990's. My favorite song on the album is the title track...leprosy. Death metal had its origins from thrash metal, first wave black metal, and hardcore punk. It started up in the mid 1980's, with bands like Celtic Frost, Slayer, and Kreator. Later came pioneers of the genre, such as Obituary and Death. Albums I would recommend: Celtic Frost- To Mega Therion Slayer - Haunting the Chapel (EP) Kreator- Pleasure to Kill Destruction - Infernal Overkill Obituary- Cause of Death

[@jayvids4u]

CHUCK was the father of death metal.

[@NecroVMX]

The sub genre is death metal, which was named after this band, this is from the second album, and like with many early albums it is raw and unrefined, but shows an early glimpse of how great they'd become. If you want to hear more by them, I recommend either crystal mountain or the philosopher.

[@MasaM-c2c]

Check out, death : scream bloody gore, best Chuck's performance ever, i suggest!

[@yuggothproductions]

Chuck! The best! RIP

[@dragonhoard08]

I do have to say Chuck was the nicest guy ever. I met him I'm lincoln NE. And after they played everything from the song of perseverance he was what do you want to hear. OH shit he played 3 hrs of music from everything. And he was so nice. Miss you Bro. R.I.P. Chuck. You are missed.

[@Faerie_Kim]

The style is death metal, which Death pretty much invented. This is off their second album, which was released in 1988

[@daemonhat]

death is arguably the greatest death metal band ever. the entire Symbolic album, the philosopher, individual thought patterns, the list goes on, but those are my personal favorites. RIP Chuck \m/

[@BrianHarrisDrummer]

DEATH are the godfathers of death metal. Chuck was an amazing songwriter and I love all the different eras of Death. Musically and lyrically they matured oever the years. Rest in Peace, Chuck! You were taken away from us far too soon. Can you imagine the metal world with Chuck still in it, writing like the genius that he was? Hey PinkMetalHead......you're beautiful! Love that smile! Keep smiling! \m/

[@joeyuzwa891]

That eyebrow raise at 1:40 lol

[@brianorr2050]

This is the band that made me love death metal. This band is one of the godfathers of american Death metal...so yeah...they rule. Lack of Comprehension or Flattening of Emotions...or better yet both.

[@lobotomizedjellyfish2171]

RIP Chuck - A true legend and pioneer in Death Metal

[@musicosm]

Lord your reaction to this is PRICELESS lol. Death, along with Venom and Celtic Frost, were the progenitors of Black Metal (officially The First Wave of Black Metal) which started around 1981. /metalgeek

[@victoradoglio3800]

Dont forget about Possessed

[@d1sk-cord531]

@4:13 im dead af 💀

[@crushedinfamy]

Death rules! Your reaction video rules! I don't know about their darkest song, but "Zombie Ritual" is a classic!

[@jefsat7761]

No happy songs. I will say this. Chuck was one of the nicest people I ever met in music. He always had a kind word, even when his life was not going the way he wanted. We were one year apart. I met him in the late 80s while working with some people in Florida, in the metal scene. His music evolved. He always changed his sound and some say that he was difficult to work with. Of Course He Was. It was his vision that drove the band. If you listen, each album moves forward of the one that preceded it. Spiritual Healing is where you get to truly hear him march out from just dark, death and gore related lyrics and Become His Creation. Knowing him was a privilege He inspired a lot of people and left his mark on music. And look at the people who he worked with. They all had fantastic careers. He might not be what you would listen to, but he was at the top of his genre. I miss Him as a friend He was a funny guy and every time I saw him he made me laugh with the way he turned a phrase. And I always listened as a friend to what was happening in his life. My favorite songs are Left to Die. Empty Words and A Moment Of Clarity, All of them have a place in my life, but those are the 3 that spoke and continue to speak to me to this day.

[@matttozzi6184]

This is personally one of my favorite songs of all time!

[@jasonpegram2114]

death metal band from 1983-2001 the man behind the vocals was the one and only chuck schuldiner who unfortunately passed away in 2001

[@obi-wannabekennotbi2418]

The vocalist/guitarist is Chuck Schuldiner (Shul-dee-ner) who has been in the band from the beggining to the end as there have been a lot of legendary line-up changes through each album. The first 2 albums (Scream Bloody Gore, Leprosy) were very much Thrash Influenced, later on with the album "Human" they have displayed much more technical playing, "Human" and albums like Piece of Time by Atheist or even Cynic's "Focus" have been a foundation to many Technical Death Metal bands. Even though Death is classified as Death Metal, I still think it is much more than a typical Death Metal band, they are classic within the genre of Death Metal, but also a classic within Metal. My favourite album is "Symbolic" as it is full of emotional soloing, meaningful lyricsm and melancholic atmosphere, I would suggest checking out "Without Judgment".

[@soakedbearrd]

Ive been a metal fan for almost two decades, and only recently EASED into Death (which im starting to dig), so kudos for not taking the easy road. Suggestion: The philosopher and Lack of comprehension (my fav).

[@thorwulfx1]

The style of vocals featured here is often termed "Death", "Harsh". or "Grim". In most settings, a singer will use their vocal cords to sing, shout, or even scream, with an implicit tonality or key. With this sort of vocal, the singer is using the false vocal folds, much as you would when you whisper. This technique can yield several different sounds, from the low, bellowing growl, to the cutting midrange sounds you hear from Chuck S. in this track, to the piercing high shriek of a black metal vocalist. All of these harsh vocal techniques are an acquired taste, and a frequent response for a newcomer is to touch their throat and feel some discomfort. There are ways of making these sounds without any harm to the voice, and some extreme metal singers, such as Mikael Åkerfeldt from the band Opeth, jump back and forth between clean and harsh vocals in the same song. There is a whole road ahead of you, if you begin to listen to extreme metal. You may have picked a fairly challenging band to start with.

[@chrisnickle8585]

damn it! thought I might be 1st for once since our favorite lil chocolate lady metal head made this only 2min ago but I guess not. ya got some dedicated followers girl or some of em gots a crush on ya or both! never been into this band much only heard a couple songs but if ya watch another Pink I'll check it out with ya while I pick up my mess and beer cans before Tara gets home.

[@stromghouls]

death has never been a band about dark music at all exept maybe for the scream bloody gore album who was more of a funny album. leprosy was the beginning of the serious stuff. if there is one guy that was a force for good it was chuck schuldiner. with the album human, they reached new heights and ushered a new era in technical death metal. chuck was not a dark person at all. the music of death from the leprosy album and forward is anything but dark and evil. if you want dark and evil, listen to deicide early albums.

[@tokrian]

Death = original death metal band (people will argue this but it is death). From south Florida, super nice guys. Lead singer was only permanent member, died in 2001. Tragic loss. Listen to him speak on "voice of the soul"

[@Kelly1976]

Excellent video once again, and Rest In Peace to Chuck. Xx

[@m1ghtysauc3E]

I have a difficult time putting into words how I feel about Death. They are that amazing and important to me. RIP Chuck.

[@darceylawrence5440]

ahahahaha the look on her face when chuck started singing

[@theboxingprofessor1711]

Death is my favorite band. They are death metal, one of the pioneers of it.The vocals are done by Chuck Shuldiner who died in 2001.As far as a song that will give you nightmares, try Open casket,Leprosy, Infernal death,Sacrificial, or Primitive ways. This is death metal at it's absolute finest. As far as happy songs,try their final album The Sound of perseverance. And salute to you being a black metalhead.

[@Fiction_Supreme]

I remember the first time I heard Death I was hooked on their "Scream Bloody Gore" record. But once I heard the rest of their discography... It took some time to get into. Next thing I know I'm singing a lot of the choruses and such. It takes time and a lot of listens to really appreciate the music. I now have their whole discography and plan to buy more merch!

[@heliocentric7705]

An iconic band by far! Probably my favorite metal band, truly... Chuck really set the pace, and mile markers for a lot of us who play guitar today. I sincerely doubt there isn't a modern metal musician today that can't say they haven't been influenced by the band Death, or Chuck in someway. Of course he passed away unfortunately, never had the chance to meet him, but you can tell by the way he carried himself in interviews he was a naturally good soul. Left to Die is badass, crazy song. The albums "Scream Bloody Gore", "Leprosy" and "Spiritual Healing" are great albums, especially songs like "Pull the Plug" "Zombie Ritual" and "Spiritual Healing" but these albums are an acquired taste to most. While I enjoy those albums and songs, I do however feel that Death has better, more in depth songs, and albums in their later career that are more relatable to a broader demographics of people, more touching if you will. These later Songs and albums improvise more meaningful lyrical content, real life situations, are in depth and have more substance that touches the soul. Their musical prowess just evolved and became so much more dynamic all around. The albums I'm talking about are *Individual Thought Patterns*, *Symbolic*, *The Sound of Perseverance* a few more profound songs are "Lack of Comprehension" "Symbolic" "Empty Words" "Trapped In A Corner" "Crystal Mountain" "Destiny" "Sacred Serenity" "Voice of the Soul" "The Philosopher" "Flesh and the Power It Holds" "Perennial Quest" "Bite the Pain" "To Forgive Is To Suffer" Chuck really has a way of just making his guitar speak in a lot of those songs, he is able to transcribe his feelings and soul, and you can hear it pour out from a lot of the riffs, and solos, it's awesome. Him and Dimebag just make the guitar cry sometimes man.. R.I.P. Chuck

[@JayTor2112]

The death metal vocals are an acquired taste, which i haven't fully acquired, except in rare instances, but there's no denying they can play their asses off.

[@TheGrinder66]

It pleases me to see a younger generation of metal heads learn about Death. The late great Chuck Schuldiner is the lead singer/guitarist of Death who wrote the majority of the music for the band. Their drummers are amazing too Gene Hoglan of Dark Angel and currently in Testament played drums on this album and Richard Christy from the Howard Stern show was in death for a while too. chuck passed away in 2001 at the Early age of 34 from Brain Cancer. This album got me into them when I was young and my favorite song will always be Pull The Plug

[@corpusc]

"most chilling"... maybe Choke On It. at least its one of the most horror-soundtrack-sounding songs.

[@andrerichard628]

The first scream is magic! Love Death!
