I love Chuck to death and think his riffs were amazing but think his tone on symbolic and SOP is to be desired. The engineer was probably slapping his forehead but was able to make it sound... ok. Using a solid state marshall valvestste amp? And those ultra high gain pickups. To me sounds very tinny and way over distorted(artificially).The leads are where it really shows. I saw death live in 99 and Chuck's amp made my ears want to bleed with the tinnieness. Much prefer an iced earth or in flames (claman) guitar distortion, where they rely on an overdriven tube amp myself. Of course, just my opinion.
Vocalist and guitarist, much respect and love for the godfather of death metal, though he didn't see himself that way, a crying shame he left us too soon, rock on \m/
This is death metal at its finest. Shaped the genre and branched off to melodic death metal. Chuck never wanted to write the same album twice. His guitar work sends shivers down my spine. Bone chilling lyrics, and soulful solos. Thank you for this reaction!
He invent a genre and few years later he revolutionized it again with every new album. Chuck is before his time and one od the most talenented and nicest guys im metal.
human should be put in Cynic's discography, musical evolution doesn't mean you put other's musical styles in yours, musical evolution means that you try to match james murphy's level when soloing, unless you can't do it, dont speak about technical stuff lol
So glad you have reacted to Death on the day the great late Chuck Schuldiner died 17 years ago. Analysing the lyrics of this genius is a perfect tribute in these times.
Oh man... You guys know who died on 13 December, 2017? *Warrel* *Dane* (aged 56). Such a creepy coincidence. Please, Vin & Sori, do some Sanctuary, Nevermore or Warrel's solo work! His 2nd solo album was just recently released.
I'm a Christian, and Death is the only death meta band I listen to. He had clear lyrics, his lyrics weren't spiritually filthy, he made me question things, and his music is a whole other level compared to any other DM band I've tried to listen to. Chuck was a genius.
I fucking love this album. So many good songs on it. This song is a great way to open the album just by introducing that awesome guitar tone. You can arguably say this song would go over well even if it was released today. Doesn’t feel dated at all to my ears. The songs “Misanthrope” and “1000 Eyes” would be two other songs I’d check out. “Crystal Mountain” is a pretty popular suggestion but a lot of people react to that one.
Thanks for giving some props to the big homie Chuck. Check out Spirit Crusher, Crystal Mountain, The Philosopher, Pull the Plug, Spiritual Healing, Lack of Comprehension, Voice of the Soul, and their cover of Judas Priest's Painkiller if you want to hear some more good Death. Chuck Schulinder was the only constant member and he had almost 27 other instrumentalists on the albums he made all together.
Cmon do you people only know the popular songs or what? A Moment Of Clarity, Destiny, Without Judgement and Perennial Quest would be way more interesting. But I agree with Voice Of The Soul and Spiritual Healing.
Deaths’ music is my all time favorite. Glad y’all appreciated it as it is. Chuck was awesome and ahead of his time in both music and death RIP ...Hopefully you have listened to the symbolic album completely. A lot of great songs there. His lyrics are beautiful and somewhat spiritual in nature and thought. Always spot on at least lyrically and his guitar is absolutely the best,,,,,, while still yet able to sing ,,,,,, what talent.
@@Walamonga1313 well you want to ease people into the more diverse stuff. That's what people don't get about react channels. You want to give them the paletable stuff to settle in with first then you hit them with the og picks
@@brentanton7466 Nah, that's just boring. No one likes to see the same song done a million times just because it's more accesible. And, I'm not talking about Death right now. But about every band.
YES! RIP Chuck, worth skipping the patreon pick this one time. The first time I came down to Florida to visit my brother when he was going to school down here was one of the first fund raisers for Chuck. It was at the House of Blues here in Orlando. the line at what is now Disney Springs caught my attention so I asked what everyone was waiting to get in to. I still think Spirit Crusher is the song to check out from these guys but Death really doesn't have bad songs. I did like Chucks later vocals more. Chuck is also the lead guitarist for the band. He was also the lead guitarist and songwriter for the band prog metal band Control Denied. The last song on the last album chuck worked on was the song The Fragile Art of Existance, its incredibly sad but incredibly fitting. Vin you should watch some interviews with the man. He was a really sweet guy, and a big lover of animals but also a very driven perfectionist.
This is why we need single payer insurance, sickness shouldnt bankrupt anyone and people that have to pick between food or their meds to stay alive break my heart when its so unnecessary.
@@ChristoRedentor777 Heck of a lot cheaper than what we (as in the people and the government) pay for now. Government already pays for medicare and medicaid, which costs a total of 1.3 TRILLION annually (not counting VA hospitals which average just under 200 billion). So when talking about the cost of single payer that amount has to be deducted because it is no longer needed. Another issue is that pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies (and medical supply companies) can charge essentially what they want, not so with single payer, prices would drop because it would be one contract: the government. Thats why places with singer payer (literally every other 1st world country) have cheaper per patient costs. How much does a single payer system cost per year? Bernie Sanders plan is estimated to cost 1.3 trillion annually. This also isnt addressing the lessening of bureaucratic red tape (administrative costs) of having different programs with each having its own regulations, restrictions, necessary paperwork and policies. Its streamlined into one system. There are many other benefits as far as costs when you do the real math but Ive already made a wall of text.
Chuck wasn't just a lead vocalist, but a very talented lead guitarist of Death too. If you do more Death, then maybe their best known song "The Philosopher" from the "Individual Thought Patterns" album. FYI another awesome guitarist, Andy La Rocque from King Diamond played many great solos on that album. Still waiting for the full album reaction/review of "Abigial" 😉
Excellent guitarist, powerful vocals, amazing songwriter, beautiful and deep lyrics, he even recorded bass for his debut album, he never used drugs but died very early... React to songs like Spirit crusher, Misanthrope, Without judgement, Voice of the soul, Moment of clarity.... You can't go wrong with Death.... After 7th Death album he wanted to focus more on guitar and he create a band called Control Denied with another singer who did amazing job on vocals, and you must listen album by that band called "The fragile art of existence"
They've done Voice of The Soul on a live stream and RUclips took The vid Down and The donations (most of them or all cant remember). But they liked it very much If i remember correctly.
Most people believe he died from cancer, but while cancer was the underlying cause, he actually died from an illness do to having a weakened immune system from the chemotherapy. If his immune system was stronger, he would have lived longer, or may have been able to beat cancer and be with us today. RIP Chuck Schuldiner
This record is so impeccable. Nothing about the record is satanic, the messaging is very true to humans and quite like an aggressive poetry. Every moment from the opener to the closer is just a fantastic display of amazing instrumentation and quite frankly amazing songwriting by Chuck.
Chuck wrote everything... his vocals were iconic and started death metal really, he was an expert guitar player and wasn’t afraid to write about anything... he was an amazing human being that fought for what he believed in, sadly he was taken at such a young age 😢
RIP Chuck, my favorite band. If you get a chance to see the Lack of Comprehension video, you will see just how good these musicians are. Schuldiner, Reinert, Digorgio and Masvidal.
Very glad you guys did this track. There's A TON more DEATH you can do, this is just the tip of the iceberg. I would recommend Altering the Future, Suicide Machine, 1000 Eyes, Crystal Mountain, The Philosopher.
Chuck wrote some very profound lyrics. Check out "Without Judgement", "Flattening of Emotions", "Perennial Quest", "Crystal Mountain". I could go on and on and on^^
Chuck used to write a lot about the nature of human being, no holds barred! You guy's definitely need to react to some songs from the three Final Death Albums: Individual Through Patterns, Symbolic and The Sound Of Perseverance. And of course, his side project Control Denied. Cheers from Brazil!
The band Death was one of the big influences for Vektor, that band you two liked about the guy flying his spaceship into the star Alshain so that he could finally die. Snoopy-Meter: 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 ----------------------------^----
yea especially the vocals on the last Death album were a clear influence to David's vocals for Vektor (that and Tom Araya from Slayer on the early records). But more importantly the progressive and thrash tendencies that Death sometimes exhbited and the stellar lead work. David has talked alot in interviews about how important Death's music was to shaping the Vektor sound.
The lyrics hit so hard. Always puts tears in my eyes. The second verse is so beautiful... Do you remember when Things seemed so eternal? Heroes were so real... Their magic frozen in time The only way to learn Is be aware and hold on tight... 🔥🔥🔥
I am looking for fellow Christians that I can relate to. Glad that for now I have found you. I am deeply flawed and not too "holy", but my FAITH is deep and strong. Nice to find folks like you who, can drop an f-bomb from time to time and seem very realistic. You give me hope that I may just find MY people some day.
Yep, being a Christian isn't about being holy, it's about knowing how bad we are, but how much God loves us despite our wickedness. As evil as I am, Jesus loves me so much that He was willing to die to take the punishment I deserve! I don't try to be a good person to make God love me, I know He already loves me enough to die for me while I was still dead in my sin, so now I try to be a good person just because I love Him back. And I know that whenever I fail, He still loves me because His love was never conditional on my goodness in the first place. God bless, Tamarama.
Death - The philisopher. His latest work was with Control Denied, which is the direction he wanted to take Death in but felt like he couldn't. You should check out Control Denied - Consumed.
Go back and watch some interviews. What a sweet kid! What awesome riffage! What tremendous leads. All of this coming from the sweet misunderstood kid in school (my image of Chuck) who expressed his alienation in branding a new form of metal and that was ALL he wanted. RIP Chuck!
I was fortunate enough to get to meet Chuck and the guys on the Symbolic tour...SUPER nice guy and hella cool too! It's not fair that he was called home so soon....
This band is what got me into Extreme Metal. His vocals, guitar skills, and lyrics created such an out of this world atmosphere. I also like he didnt have to sing about gore and satan in order to create awesome death metal. Very progressive as well. Check out his final project called Control Denied. It had the same lineup as the final Death album did but with a lead singer added. The music was clean vocals and it was more prog/power metal. Their 2nd cd was never finished and released. Chucks sister owns the rights to it.
I really wasn't expecting this, thank you so much guys. Death was /is extremely important for what they created (Scream Bloody Gore, 1987, is usually considered "The First" Death Metal album ever, some people go with Seven Churches by Possessed, 1985) and for the way they did it. In a time when almost every band was trying to be "the most brutal band on earth" and he led the path towards technichality, melody and general progresiveness. This is more evident on the lyrics where instead of going to horror / gore lyrics (I won't be a hypocrite, I love those, they are a lot of fun) but he touched on a lot of important topics: war, abortion, euthanasia, jealousy, and the importance of being true to one self, among other stuff. The song you just listened is the first of the album of the same name (1995) and the lyrics are inspired on the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. He was a very nice guy, he always tried to defy the "badass / macho image", just watch one of the interviews (there's an actual compilation of many of the, the video is around and hour and ten of fifteen minutes). Chuck Schuldiner had a very tragic illness which culminated with his family on bankruptcy, he was never rich by any stretch of the imagination but he had made good enough to have his own house and car, which he had to sell to pay for the treatment and still couldn't make it. On your "Grunge Week" last week, you asked for ideas to some "x week" and someone (Jason I guess) recommended Tech Death Metal. Death where a important part of that subgenre so he is without the shadow of a doubt the Godfather of Death Metal but also one of the pioneers of Progresive Death Metal and Technichal Death Metal. For more references check out the video of bangertv on the subject. Finally, some suggestions for Death: "Evil Dead", "Leprosy", "Pull The Plug", "Within The Mind", "Genetic Reconstruction", "Suicide Machine", "Cosmic Sea", "Jealousy", "Out Of Touch", "1000 Eyes", "Without Judgement" (I put that song on your poll and vote for it everyday, shameless plug, jeje...), "Spirit Crusher" and "Voice Of The Soul" (you used this particular song as background when you reacted to 1349 a few months back). Once again, thank you, have an awsome day with your kids and family.
Saw them at The Double Door in Chicago in '98. Great show. Chuck autographed my copy of Leprosy, their second release after Scream Bloody Gore. Great memory.
Death easily one of my favorite bands of all time. As an extreme metal they were quite eclectic and diverse which each album sounding completely different to each other. The earlier death metal albums like scream bloody gore and leprosy were traditional death metal albums that were inspired by imagery from horror films and that were incredibly dark with some of Chuck's best vocal performances. I feel they perfected that style too especially with leprosy which I feel has some of the best riffs and songs in the genre and then they slowly shifted to a more progressive style either incorporating elements of jazz fusion like in human or incorporating avant-garde like in sound of perseverance. Chuck could be likened to a jazz band leader who thought about how different musicians would contribute to his ideas and hired them based on how they fitted to the album or his ideas that is why they had so many different lineups in the first place. Each musician filled his niche and contributed to the albums immensely as well. They have had some of the best musicians throughout their entire lineup. I do feel this is the band that has maybe has had the best drummers a metal band can have. In symbolic, they had got Gene hoglan as their drummer and he completely outperformed himself. His performance in this album is otherwordly and hence it requires several listens to observe his every bit of nuance. Bobby koelble played the guitars on this album and he also plays the solo here which is phenomenal. He is from a jazz background and is a jazz guitarist who doesn't really play that much of metal but he still played a strong part in this album and contributed something different. The bassist Kelly conlon is not as standout and definitely more subdued compared to someone like Steve digeorgio that played in death but he still plays a really important role and does a great job. This album was considered as their masterpiece and a metal masterpiece and you can see why especially because of Chuck's vision in terms of the song writing and the lyrics followed by the special contributions of the musicians. The riffs that Chuck wrote on this album were outstanding and many of them were heavily thrash influenced. Try listening to the riff during Bobby's solo and the verse after that. In addition, Chuck's vast influences from the heavy metal band sortilege to the shoegaze band my bloody valentineand his own vision could be the reason why this band was so eclectic and rich in the first place. I just couldn't contain myself in giving my two cents on this band and how much they mean to me so I am sorry for my long post. Thank you for this amazing unexpected tribute and reaction.
Chuck's brother died when he was a young kid and he is referring to him as a "fix of innocence" he was singing a song to his older brother.. Symbolic acts... So vivid.. But at the same time... They're invisible"
we did a small benefiet for him here in the netherlands.. we al played a set and did one Death cover... Later we got a letter from his mother thanking us and giving an update :)
The ongoing battle... Was Death or Possessed the first Death Metal band? Possessed had very Death Metal lyrics but they sounded more thrash based in my humble opinion. Vader actually was the first Death Metal band to begin but when they started, they were Speed Metal so they cant take the banner. Its about who broke through and made an impact and not necessarily about who did the style first.
The song is about having so much care and trust...only to realize that no one really cares at all. They just pretend to. You realize this as you get older. Chuck figured it out before the age of 30...it really didn't dawn on me until around 50 years old. You're on your own, boys and girls.
RIP Chuck Shuldiner! It’s crazy to think that Chuck and Dimebag were both pushing metal in new different directions at the same time and they both burned their flames too fast! They were both genius in their own right! Chuck is a acquired taste but undeniably genius!
"Life ends so fast, so take your chance and make it last..." That's Chuck's testimony. He lives in our heart and minds. He has left a "story to tell". Chuck, you have finished your parennial quest, so now, rest. We will behold the flesh and the power it holds, and we will not live it, as it is the beginning of the end. Thank you, Chuck. I hope we will meet one day... when life is the matter of a memory.
I think you both would absolutely love the song Voice of the Soul by death. There is no lyrics but the guitar melody by Chuck is so beautiful and deeply moving.
Comme le disait la journaliste Laurence Romance " derrière le bruit il y a une technique imparable " Death est l'une des sommités du Metal. Magnifique!
I learned this song on guitar ages ago and it's always been a really fun one to jam. But until today I never realized how amazing the lyrics were because I was so focused on the riffs! Chuck is a legend!
I'm a Christian and I love Death and Chuck because his music just speaks to the human condition and soul. I love your guys analysis/discussion at the end.
Good. Anything from Symbolic would be great, I love prety much all Death albums, but Symbolic is special for me. Perennial Quest and it's solo is something speical for me, you should check it too.
"shull-DEE-ner". Lead vocalist main songwriter and the band always had dual lead guitarists, Chuck always being one of the two. Definitely one of the most underappreciated instrumentalists ever. His styles in both guitar playing and vocalizing we're both unconventional and hard for a lot of people to get used to, but he really was a genius and he inspired an entire genre of music that splintered into many subgenres over and over. He's been gone for a long time, but metal would not be what it is today without his influence.
Legendary band that started a wave of awesome. Sabaton - To Hell and Back music video Celtic Frost - A Dying God Coming Into Human Flesh Immolation - Father, You're Not A Father lyric video Steel Panther - Stripper Girl live at British Invasion
Hiya guys, Could you please react to one of these: SLAYER - “Black Magic”, “Skeletons Of Society”, “Temptation” or “213” TAD MOROSE - “Anubis” or “Cyberdome”. KILLER BE KILLED - “Wings Of Feather And Wax”. GRIP INC - “Hostage To Heaven”. 5 FINGER DEATH PUNCH - “The Way Of The Fist”. REDGUM - “I Was Only 19”.
He was also the Guitarist. Don’t want you to miss that. Great tone.
That comes from the valvestate Marshall amps.
I love Chuck to death and think his riffs were amazing but think his tone on symbolic and SOP is to be desired. The engineer was probably slapping his forehead but was able to make it sound... ok. Using a solid state marshall valvestste amp? And those ultra high gain pickups. To me sounds very tinny and way over distorted(artificially).The leads are where it really shows.

I love y’all so much for recognizing Chuck and making a slot for him out of respect for his passing on this day ❤️
Death "Cosmic Sea " instrumental. ..Recommend for you guyz
this!
I thought voice of the soul was the only instrumental death made . Just heard it and it sounds amazing ! Recommend this too !
Me too.
Vocalist and guitarist, much respect and love for the godfather of death metal, though he didn't see himself that way, a crying shame he left us too soon, rock on \m/
Well he didn't see himself that way largely because he wasn't, he always acknowledged how big of an influence Possessed was on Death.
This is death metal at its finest. Shaped the genre and branched off to melodic death metal. Chuck never wanted to write the same album twice. His guitar work sends shivers down my spine. Bone chilling lyrics, and soulful solos. Thank you for this reaction!

Beg to differ about writing the same album twice, Individual Thought Patterns, Symbolic, and Sound of Perserverance all sound extremely similar.
Hell yeah! I would say “Crystal Mountain” if you ever decide to do Death again.
Or Perennial quest
I would actually recommend whole symbolic. Deaths best work. Not a bad track on a whole LP

You should listen to 'Focus' by Cynic. Very similar style only leaning more to the spiritual side. Incredible musicians like Death.
Chuck gave zero shits. Just like Jesus.
Same here. I like being a Christian and having the good feeling of admitting I'm a sinner and I'm not perfect. Rock on and god bless you 🙏🏾
No coincidence that Paul Masdival and Sean Reinert of Cynic also played one Death Album.
Spiritually filthy lol.
finally!!! Kinda sounds like they forgot they reviewed their music before, even though they spent like an hour on the last song
Just commented on that, I thought that was funny
Lol mhmm

Chuck used to write a lot about the nature of human being, no holds barred! You guy's definitely need to react to some songs from the three Final Death Albums: Individual Through Patterns, Symbolic and The Sound Of Perseverance. And of course, his side project Control Denied. Cheers from Brazil!
The band Death was one of the big influences for Vektor, that band you two liked about the guy flying his spaceship into the star Alshain so that he could finally die.

Glad you mentioned that. My 2 favorite bands.
yea especially the vocals on the last Death album were a clear influence to David's vocals for Vektor (that and Tom Araya from Slayer on the early records). But more importantly the progressive and thrash tendencies that Death sometimes exhbited and the stellar lead work. David has talked alot in interviews about how important Death's music was to shaping the Vektor sound.
The lyrics are what hit. Beautiful, beautiful poetry and heavy metal. Always loved Death.
The lyrics hit so hard. Always puts tears in my eyes. The second verse is so beautiful...
Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real...
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight...
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for putting respect on Chuck!!!!!!! Appreciated.
It makes me feel really good knowing that people is putting more attention to Death's lyrics. That is pure poetry in all kind of senses.
This and crystal 🗻!

Not about drugs at all. The song is about remembering your Youth and when things were sweet and innocent.
this was my favorite tune on guitar - entire album is the Diamond in Metal History !
rip daddy chuck. Good on you guys for doing this today. Listened to all their albums today lol
SidewaysDarkness Jeremy 1 daddy? lmaoooo
I am looking for fellow Christians that I can relate to. Glad that for now I have found you. I am deeply flawed and not too "holy", but my FAITH is deep and strong. Nice to find folks like you who, can drop an f-bomb from time to time and seem very realistic. You give me hope that I may just find MY people some day.
And you give us hope too! Believe me !
@@VinAndSori Thank you! Much love Brother and Sister!
Yep, being a Christian isn't about being holy, it's about knowing how bad we are, but how much God loves us despite our wickedness. As evil as I am, Jesus loves me so much that He was willing to die to take the punishment I deserve!
I don't try to be a good person to make God love me, I know He already loves me enough to die for me while I was still dead in my sin, so now I try to be a good person just because I love Him back. And I know that whenever I fail, He still loves me because His love was never conditional on my goodness in the first place.
God bless, Tamarama.

Respect for reacting to the great Chuck. Love y’all
Ps: Warrel Dane from Nevermore passed away a year ago today as well /:
DEATH - TRAPPED IN A CORNER
DEATH - LACK OF COMPREHENSION
King Diamond - No Presents For Christmas :)
Today is also the 1 year anniversary for the death of Nevermore vocalist Warrel Dane hope you guys check out another song by them
is it already a year ago? man time is passing fast.
Would love to see a reaction to his last song on his final album. Sanctuary - the year the sun died.
I allways loved that Xtra tapping of the symbols at the end
Death - The philisopher. His latest work was with Control Denied, which is the direction he wanted to take Death in but felt like he couldn't. You should check out Control Denied - Consumed.
Go back and watch some interviews. What a sweet kid! What awesome riffage! What tremendous leads. All of this coming from the sweet misunderstood kid in school (my image of Chuck) who expressed his alienation in branding a new form of metal and that was ALL he wanted. RIP Chuck!
I was fortunate enough to get to meet Chuck and the guys on the Symbolic tour...SUPER nice guy and hella cool too! It's not fair that he was called home so soon....
Been a huge fan of Chuck and Death since the Leprosy album. Amazing musician, you should check the songs the Philosopher or Lack of Comprehension.
You got to do Death - Voice of the soul, sooo beautyful :)
I'm 47 and still listening to this. Time stand still..
This band is what got me into Extreme Metal. His vocals, guitar skills, and lyrics created such an out of this world atmosphere. I also like he didnt have to sing about gore and satan in order to create awesome death metal. Very progressive as well. Check out his final project called Control Denied. It had the same lineup as the final Death album did but with a lead singer added. The music was clean vocals and it was more prog/power metal. Their 2nd cd was never finished and released. Chucks sister owns the rights to it.
Great with Death. Finally!
Tjek out more Death. Maybe from the album "Human " ?
guitarist, vocalist, composer, lyricist
I really wasn't expecting this, thank you so much guys. Death was /is extremely important for what they created (Scream Bloody Gore, 1987, is usually considered "The First" Death Metal album ever, some people go with Seven Churches by Possessed, 1985) and for the way they did it. In a time when almost every band was trying to be "the most brutal band on earth" and he led the path towards technichality, melody and general progresiveness. This is more evident on the lyrics where instead of going to horror / gore lyrics (I won't be a hypocrite, I love those, they are a lot of fun) but he touched on a lot of important topics: war, abortion, euthanasia, jealousy, and the importance of being true to one self, among other stuff. The song you just listened is the first of the album of the same name (1995) and the lyrics are inspired on the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
He was a very nice guy, he always tried to defy the "badass / macho image", just watch one of the interviews (there's an actual compilation of many of the, the video is around and hour and ten of fifteen minutes).
Chuck Schuldiner had a very tragic illness which culminated with his family on bankruptcy, he was never rich by any stretch of the imagination but he had made good enough to have his own house and car, which he had to sell to pay for the treatment and still couldn't make it.
On your "Grunge Week" last week, you asked for ideas to some "x week" and someone (Jason I guess) recommended Tech Death Metal. Death where a important part of that subgenre so he is without the shadow of a doubt the Godfather of Death Metal but also one of the pioneers of Progresive Death Metal and Technichal Death Metal. For more references check out the video of bangertv on the subject.
Finally, some suggestions for Death: "Evil Dead", "Leprosy", "Pull The Plug", "Within The Mind", "Genetic Reconstruction", "Suicide Machine", "Cosmic Sea", "Jealousy", "Out Of Touch", "1000 Eyes", "Without Judgement" (I put that song on your poll and vote for it everyday, shameless plug, jeje...), "Spirit Crusher" and "Voice Of The Soul" (you used this particular song as background when you reacted to 1349 a few months back).
Once again, thank you, have an awsome day with your kids and family.
Saw them at The Double Door in Chicago in '98. Great show. Chuck autographed my copy of Leprosy, their second release after Scream Bloody Gore. Great memory.
I would like to see “Crystal Mountain” or "Voice of the Soul" next :)
Death easily one of my favorite bands of all time. As an extreme metal they were quite eclectic and diverse which each album sounding completely different to each other. The earlier death metal albums like scream bloody gore and leprosy were traditional death metal albums that were inspired by imagery from horror films and that were incredibly dark with some of Chuck's best vocal performances. I feel they perfected that style too especially with leprosy which I feel has some of the best riffs and songs in the genre and then they slowly shifted to a more progressive style either incorporating elements of jazz fusion like in human or incorporating avant-garde like in sound of perseverance. Chuck could be likened to a jazz band leader who thought about how different musicians would contribute to his ideas and hired them based on how they fitted to the album or his ideas that is why they had so many different lineups in the first place. Each musician filled his niche and contributed to the albums immensely as well. They have had some of the best musicians throughout their entire lineup. I do feel this is the band that has maybe has had the best drummers a metal band can have. In symbolic, they had got Gene hoglan as their drummer and he completely outperformed himself. His performance in this album is otherwordly and hence it requires several listens to observe his every bit of nuance. Bobby koelble played the guitars on this album and he also plays the solo here which is phenomenal. He is from a jazz background and is a jazz guitarist who doesn't really play that much of metal but he still played a strong part in this album and contributed something different. The bassist Kelly conlon is not as standout and definitely more subdued compared to someone like Steve digeorgio that played in death but he still plays a really important role and does a great job. This album was considered as their masterpiece and a metal masterpiece and you can see why especially because of Chuck's vision in terms of the song writing and the lyrics followed by the special contributions of the musicians. The riffs that Chuck wrote on this album were outstanding and many of them were heavily thrash influenced. Try listening to the riff during Bobby's solo and the verse after that. In addition, Chuck's vast influences from the heavy metal band sortilege to the shoegaze band my bloody valentineand his own vision could be the reason why this band was so eclectic and rich in the first place. I just couldn't contain myself in giving my two cents on this band and how much they mean to me so I am sorry for my long post. Thank you for this amazing unexpected tribute and reaction.
Chuck was also the lead guitarist, he drew all the album art and the logo, he wrote the songs, and pretty much managed the band
Chuck's brother died when he was a young kid and he is referring to him as a "fix of innocence" he was singing a song to his older brother.. Symbolic acts... So vivid.. But at the same time... They're invisible"
R.I.P. Chuck, You were a pioneer and your influence on extreme metal is undeniable.
we did a small benefiet for him here in the netherlands.. we al played a set and did one Death cover... Later we got a letter from his mother thanking us and giving an update :)
Metal of the finest crafting right here. RIP Chuck.
The ongoing battle... Was Death or Possessed the first Death Metal band? Possessed had very Death Metal lyrics but they sounded more thrash based in my humble opinion. Vader actually was the first Death Metal band to begin but when they started, they were Speed Metal so they cant take the banner. Its about who broke through and made an impact and not necessarily about who did the style first.
Respect for reacting to the great Chuck. Love y’all
Iron Maiden - Paschendale
Long overdue.
R.I.P. Chuck. One of a kind. Pushed the boundaries of death and extreme metal for years to come.
The song is about having so much care and trust...only to realize that no one really cares at all. They just pretend to. You realize this as you get older. Chuck figured it out before the age of 30...it really didn't dawn on me until around 50 years old. You're on your own, boys and girls.
rip,chuck he is a legend that never dies , when he died i cry from the bottom of my heart, i love him
Voice of the soul.
Death - Voice of the Soul
RIP Chuck Shuldiner! It’s crazy to think that Chuck and Dimebag were both pushing metal in new different directions at the same time and they both burned their flames too fast! They were both genius in their own right! Chuck is a acquired taste but undeniably genius!
"Life ends so fast, so take your chance and make it last..." That's Chuck's testimony. He lives in our heart and minds. He has left a "story to tell". Chuck, you have finished your parennial quest, so now, rest. We will behold the flesh and the power it holds, and we will not live it, as it is the beginning of the end. Thank you, Chuck. I hope we will meet one day... when life is the matter of a memory.
Opeth - Demon of the Fall!!
I think you both would absolutely love the song Voice of the Soul by death. There is no lyrics but the guitar melody by Chuck is so beautiful and deeply moving.
Comme le disait la journaliste Laurence Romance " derrière le bruit il y a une technique imparable " Death est l'une des sommités du Metal. Magnifique!
Well, by definition of the terms, noone is born a sociopath. Some people are born psychopaths, some people become sociopaths.
Chuck was a poet. I think the awesome music actually hides the brilliant things he wrote about. RIP
dying fetus - from womb to waste 🤘🤘🤘
1000 Eyes, Without Judgement, Misanthrope...hell...all the tracks
Finally !!! Thank you for giving Chuck his due. Chuck was a great person who brought us great music
I learned this song on guitar ages ago and it's always been a really fun one to jam. But until today I never realized how amazing the lyrics were because I was so focused on the riffs! Chuck is a legend!
Chuck was a genius! R.I.P. Chuck hope to jam with you in the next Life!
I'm a Christian and I love Death and Chuck because his music just speaks to the human condition and soul. I love your guys analysis/discussion at the end.
Crystal mountain is according to me Chuck's best work
Good. Anything from Symbolic would be great, I love prety much all Death albums, but Symbolic is special for me. Perennial Quest and it's solo is something speical for me, you should check it too.
"shull-DEE-ner". Lead vocalist main songwriter and the band always had dual lead guitarists, Chuck always being one of the two. Definitely one of the most underappreciated instrumentalists ever. His styles in both guitar playing and vocalizing we're both unconventional and hard for a lot of people to get used to, but he really was a genius and he inspired an entire genre of music that splintered into many subgenres over and over. He's been gone for a long time, but metal would not be what it is today without his influence.
awesome riffs and lyrics, thank you guys for doing this one!
DEATH ZOMBIE RITUAL! I think this theme is one of the best death metal songs of all time
Legendary band that started a wave of awesome.

I think that even if we grow up , and become mature, the mature thing is that we need to keep our innocence intact withing us and never lose it!
RIP Chuck
