Imagine you want to name your band and you are so early to the party that the username ''Death'' is available!!!!!!!!

[@spinstercity5623]

Actually, it was unavailable. The Detroit band Death precedes Chuck's Death by a decade. Both bands however have similarly legendary legacies! Very different styles, and very powerful in their own rights. And previous to the internet, there was no way Chuck could've known about a band that had yet to achieve the cult status it would 30 years after its prime.

[@eduardogirardot4781]

@@spinstercity5623 By the time that Chuck picked the name Death to replace Mantas the proto-punk band you are referencing had seized to exist. They did make a comeback in 2009 but by that time Chuck's Death band had already dismantled due to his passing. Killer rock band from the early 70's though, despite their short lived existence in those early years.

Now then. Us old metalheads, I’m 57, have heard and seen what the musicians of the Punk and Metal of the late seventies, eighties, nineties and of later generations had on offer. Fantastic albums with shows to match. Unforgettable memories. As time goes on, even these punk and metal bands, will disappear over time as immortality does not exist. Who’s gonna replace the legends? Do the youth of this current generation have what it takes to pick up an instrument of their choice, master the instrument, form a band, get noticed, spread the word, do gigs, get management, demos, rehearsals, album releases. The older metalheads know there are young performers out there that can take on Chuck, Lemmy, Steve Harris, Jeff Hanneman, Piggy, Holt, and a thousand others. Talent is there. The metal world is waiting for you to rise up and put the pop world to shame. Hopefully, listening to this record might give you a push and put your talents towards forming a band. Go on, give it a try.

Check out Cryogenic Defilement's song "Uterine Intercourse" and appreciate what the younger generation are doing.

I'm 51 (at the time of this posting) and have seen metal evolve and expand over the years. Admittedly, Death's "Leprosy" is so epic that the bar is set extremely high. However, there is some amazing metal music coming out these days.

[@Rhugor]

@@JudasSlays2426 Every Death album is phenomenal. Chuck just grew as a musician and started pushing the limits even further with the later albums. (Sound Of Perseverance is honestly extremely fuckin good).

[@JudasSlays2426]

@@Rhugor I agree. I just honestly didn't love Human as much as I loved The First 3. I also very much enjoyed Symbolic and The Sound Of Perseverance (Soul Crusher among others are amazing). I'm going to re listen to Human, and listen to the rest of Individual Thought Patterns (need to finish 3 tracks). I fucking LOVE me some DEATH, it doesn't matter really which album (I just love the first 3 majorly, and the final 2). When I was young, I couldn't say that, I didn't know all his music yet. My first album I ever owned from Death - Symbolic. Bought that on a whim, saw it at the store and was like YEP 👍. Glad I did that, because it bridged me into knowing the best Death Metal band of all time and all of their discography/music. It also taught me just how special Chuck Schuldiner truly was! He's EASILY Top 5 Most Underrated Metal Lead Guitarist All Time. Fell in love with him being the Riff Machine that he was over his 7 albums, and we truly enjoy all of his lead solos. I know I do! 🤘 DEATH FOR LIFE🤘

@@JudasSlays2426 I think I get what you are saying, and agree with, that ITP and Human do feel like a transitional albums looking back and explorations of the sounds and style that Symbolic and SoP really nail down and deliver on.

Iconic cover, brutal atmosphere, flawless arrangements..even more 20 yrs later since my first listening to it in vinyl owned by a former friend of mine..Keep LEPROSY cd on my pantheon of ultimate deathmetal/splatter/grind records along with DEICIDE´s Legion, MORBID ANGEL´s Altars of Madness, CARCASS´ Reek of Putrefacion(grind/splatter), AUTOPSY´s Severed Survival and of course SCREAM BLOODY GORE.

Some Guy There is a plethora of great bands and genres of death metal out there man. I think the golden age was the 90's and early 2000's. Nowadays bands are a dime a dozen. I find myself listening to more progressive metal like Mastodon and Gojira but I used to be a strictly death/black metal elitist lol its all about keeping an open mind. Music is music, if its real music of course... if you know what I mean \m/ And this is by far some of the best music out there \m/ Check out Cryptopsy - None So Vile. 1 of my top introductions to death metal. or Vader - Litany. Another epic introduction released during the golden age lol

[@carterwilliams596]

Chuck Schuldiner is Death, I am Death, but I took the name Jonathan David Taylor, after David Jonathan Taylor, shot my sled out of the sky with a missle from a jet, so i stole his planes, jets and heliocopters and stashed them around the world. Do you know any pilots that might want free planes, jets or heliocopters, so I can start collecting them from around the world?

[@billybishop1997]

One of the best death metal albums of all time.

[@tegrek]

Dances of death by Mekong Delta, you know that one?

[@johnklinger6887]

Definitely death metal. The guitars are tuned lower than traditional thrash metal. The vocals are definitely not thrash either. Only thing remotely thrash about this is some of the drumming. But that's how death metal started out. This and scream bloody gore was the transition from thrash to death metal. Which most genres that start out have that transition. Regular heavy metal was the same way. Hard rock was the transition to heavy metal. You could say Black Sabbath was hard rock but they arnt. So yes there's gonna be a thrash influence with earlier death metal. Not to mention they are considered the first death metal band.

[@roberthoage679]

I've been listening to this album in pretty steady rotation sinceit came out. In the early 90s I was lucky enough to meet Chuck. My band at the time opened for Death, and genuinely liked our band, and was super cool, I got to talk music with him for a good half hour or so. I feel very fortunate having met him, and it was fucking awesome that he liked my band. Of course he got a complementary tape!

[@davisooi8971]

Even though, I was into thrash metal when I was 13. I was freaked out by the album cover but eventually as soon as I bought this album, I went on buying the whole discography the next day. And I told everyone Chuck Schuldiner was my first and foremost favourite death metal musician. Chuck's death was very much grieved by those who admired his music. RIP Chuck Schuldiner ( 1967-2001 ) but but his legacy lives on.

[@a.od-reszki4674]

Something for screamers :) 1. Leprosy [music and lyrics - Schuldiner] Bodies deformed way beyond belief Cast out from their concerned society Flesh contorting day after day Freak of the dark world is what the people say Their lives decay before their eyes There is no hope of cure Among their own kind they live A life that's so obscure First an arm and then a leg Deterioration grows Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to change Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take Tuberculoid the most severe Decay of the nerves comes fast Sense of feeling soon to be gone Life will never last No hope of recovery after the nerves are eaten away Damage is done you feel no more pain Bones decay deterioration grows Origin of this horrid disease nobody knows Their lives decay before their eyes There is no hope of cure Among their own kind they live A life that's so obscure First an arm and then a leg Deterioration grows Rotting while they breathe - Death comes slow Leprosy will take control and bring you to your death No chance of a normal life to live just like the rest Leprosy will spread with time, your body soon to changel Appearance becomes hideous a sight too much to take 2. Born Dead [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz] Brought to this world to wither away Naive about the ways of life is what they say Millions live millions die, more are yet to come Living skeletons - Where they come from Born dead into this world To starve and rot in agony Born dead into this world It's their choice, why can't you see Life of misery, soon a corpse you be As bones show through, nothing you can do Relief does not exist When you are born to die Disease spreads fast across their dying world Many cemeteries they will have to build As process goes on for many years to come A human waste land created when they are done Born dead into this world To starve and rot in agony Born dead into this world It's their choice, why can't you see 3. Forgotten Past [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz] Deep in your mind there is another side A morbid truth one cannot hide Unimaginable gore was your past time high To hear people scream, to watch them die Return back to the burial site Face your dreams upon this night Severed limbs not far away Spirit past you now obey Images of the forgotten past Your first life revealed at last Now you'll find to your surprise All the corpses you left behind A place you feel you've been to before Where life would turn right into gore You dig deep down through the years of decay The truth is revealed, you found your way Return back to the burial site Face your dreams upon this night Severed limbs not far away Spirit past you now obey Images of the forgotten past Your first life revealed at last Now you'll find to your surprise All the corpses you left behind 4. Left To Die [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz] Put your life into their hands Die for someone else Now you're in the real world Where pain and death are felt The first blood shed does not seem real Reality is what you feel Dropping to your knees you pray God won't make this go away You will not return alive - Left to die Suffering until the end - Left to die Time stands still as you pass away No more tomorrow this is your last day On this fucking earth Bodies fall onto the ground Blood flies through the air Shredded victims lie in pain Death is never fair Legs blown off, all hope is lost A human life is what it cost Others follow close behind A real adventure they will find You will not return alive - Left to die Suffering until the end - Left to die 5. Pull The Plug [Music and lyrics: Schuldiner] Memories is all that's left behind As I lay and wait to die Little do they know That I hear their choice of life End it now, it is the only way Too cruel, that is what they say Release me from this lonely world There is no hope, why don't you Pull the plug Let me pass away Pull the plug Don't want to live this way Once I had full control of my life I now behold a machine decides my fate End it now it's all too late What has now been days, it seems like years To stay like this is what I fear Life ends so fast, so take your chance And make it last End it now, it is the only way Too cruel, that is what they say Release me from this lonely world There is no hope, why don't you Pull the plug Let me pass away Pull the plug Don't want to live this way 6. Open Casket [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz] Approach the image filled with fear As the image grows so clear Future now takes full control The one whose past you now behold Touch - The flesh it is so cold Turn away - You now have been told Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget, what you have seen People come to pay respect Taking pictures of the dead That is what life comes to be Once they lived, now they're deceased Death is oh so strange The past no one can change What you can't predict Is how long you'll exist Open casket - Open casket Life will never be the same Death can never be explained It's their time to go beyond Empty feeling when they're gone Never to return, memories will last In the future, you'll think about the past Never to forget, what you have seen What can not be real you now believe 7. Primitive Ways [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Rozz] Go against the ways and experience pain Leading a life which one might call insane Bathe in the blood of the one you killed Slaughter to survive, your needs are fulfilled Using horrid waste Some of them will taste Removing deadly disease With such primitive ease Cannibals practising the art of butchery Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist Primitive ways Conducting ceremonies to meet the ancient ones While having an outer body experience Celebrate the kill of the day Then walk among the guts of the fallen prey Using horrid waste Some of them will taste Removing deadly disease With such primitive ease Cannibals practising the art of butchery Emotions don't exist, pain you can't resist 8. Choke On It [lyrics - Schuldiner, music - Schuldiner / Rozz] Freedom is just a breath away Will you live to see the day As the heat intensifies You start to choke, your insides fry Seizure now sets in Torture will begin Twisted bodies lie Waiting now to die Choke on it - As your tongue goes down Choke on it - Death is all around Screaming fills your frenzied mind No way out no more time Example made from those to see Your freedom turned to misery World is all around Of what they have found Lesson to be learn You will not return Choke on it - As your tongue goes down Choke on it - Death is all around Chuck Schuldiner: guitar, vocals Rick Rozz: guitar Bill Andrews: drums Terry Butler: bass

[@Maffin007]

This album really have some evil essence in itself. But when you go deep, song after song, you will realize that this album is in fact concept story abou life in the world after nuclear assault. Leprosy - radiation sickness of people living on the surface Born dead - Radiation cause bigger risk for new borns Forgotten past - Modern world is no more. Everything lies in the ashes under ruins. Knowledge was lost. Left To Die - There are many sick people because of fallout. There is no madical help anyway. If you're really sick, there is no help for you. Pull The Plug - Death is everywhere. Sometimes it's even only solution. Open Casket - "Life will never be the same Death can never be explained It's their time to go beyond Empty feeling when they're gone" Primitive ways - Primal instincts are taking place. Choke on it - Only strongest will survive. If there is a chance.

[@nananabooboo8264]

When I was about 15 I luckily found a relapse records comp on cassette at Goodwill and I ended up playing it all the time. Primitive ways was my favorite on it. I was more of a hardcore punk fan but anything evil and fast and heavy I loved. So years later I thought death would be an awesome band name and I looked it up on Myspace and discovered scream bloody Gore. When I got to leprosy, I rediscovered primitive ways.. I was reunited and it felt so good hehe. Now Death is one of my favorite bands of all time. :)
