Great album, Classic! I miss Chuck. We were really good friends back in the day. Chuck moved into our fan club president's house between Mantas & SBG and we used to sit around sharing riffs and partying hard. Chuck was so fucking cool and amazingly talented. I just wish he were till around. RIP Chuck. ~Jeff Becerra/Possessed~
Thats an awesome story to read about. Seven Churches and SBG are both classics and if Im not mistaken, SBG was inspired by Seven Churches. Nonetheless, Much respect to you and Evil Chuck!
It's so awesome reading stories from back in the day. SBG and Seven Churches were the first metal albums I got my hands on from my cousin, when I was like 10 years old :P I always thought there is a connection in the sound of Possessed and Death. Cheers!
POSSESSED Jeff you guys are legendary and Chuck and Death are legendary.I think it's cool that you are down to earth and communicate with the fans.We all miss Chuck.I saw Possessed from Wacken.Jeff,you guys are awesome and very influential.Keep rocking Jeff.PS: IT WAS BLOODSTOCK JEFF.\,,,/
I can not express how much I love this album. I was 14 years old back in 1987. It blew me away. Here I am, 46 years old still loving this awesome masterpiece .
What is absolute impressive that two *teenagers* recorded the album. 🎤🎸💥 Vocals, Bass, Guitar & song writing: Chuck Schuldiner *19 years* Drums: Chris Reifert *18 years*
Fun fact: This entire album's guitar, vocal and bass work were done solely by Chuck, the drums are the only thing recorded by other person, Chris Reifert. Despite this you could technically say Chuck created the entire album by himself, truly a legend.
Not true me and Chris totally added to Scream, no doubt Chuck is the master mind, but me and Chris jammed with chuck for a year and a half!!!! Of total sickness
I cannot emphasize enough how much I adore that album cover. Just 4 dudes having an absolutely wonderful time and enjoying each others company, you love to see it. Look at the one on the right, he's having the absolute time of his life (or death?), I love that for him. Party on skellybois!
These types of horror movie album covers were *absolute* 100% metal catnip/crack to us pasty, mullet-boys back then, growing through my young teenage years as metal became more extreme made for an extraordinary exciting time: hard rock>metal>speed/thrash metal>death metal/grind core by the decade's end (all of which our poor parents had to deal with...). Memories!
If i am not mistaken they are talking about you and the good time will have with them when you pass away.. The one sitting on the big chair knows exactly how many days we've got left on this earth.
The first time I seen them live "Scream Bloody Gore" tour there was so few people at the show all of us were on the stage and they played for us live. It was like a personal jam for friends. I know its hard to believe but a 100% true story. Nobody heard of them at that point. I went to the show cause of their flyer I seen on wall of the club a week prier during another show. Death was so fucking incredible and so nice and down to earth and so fucking loud omg. they gave all of us their Scream Bloody Gore Cd's. I still have it to this day. The next time they came was the "Leprosy" tour and that place was fucking jammed packed as you can get it and had the biggest pit I've ever seen in such a club. I MISS THOSE DAYS. Miss my youth :( Rest In Peace Chuck Thank you so much.
@@soag82 The CD was invented in 1979. At a time before before online music existed, it became the most sophisticated way to store and play music. On the 25th anniversary of its first public release in 1982, it was estimated that 200 billion CDs had been sold worldwide
Chuck has done for death metal pretty much the same as Quorthon did for black metal. I think they both were one of a kind, they both had the same spark of visionary genius, they both were unbelievably talented musicians, they both delivered a legacy which will stand eternal, and yet they both left us too soon...
Simply genius, Pure Genius. The godfather of death metal. Remember he wrote everything bass, drum guitar vocals... 🤌🤌🤌 Like they say Venom was the key, Possessed was the door DEATH is the way. He literally create a whole new genre by himself in his late teenage... Damn it. Rest in Power ...Chuck. 👏👏👏
Remember i first bought Spiritual Healing, because i liked the Album Cover, one week later, i bought Leprosy. Then i searched for Scream Bloody Gore, but it was not possible to get it in a shop anywhere at my town. So i travel to WOM(World of Music). This was a really huge store for CDs, Vinyl 200kms away in Munich(glorious days when there were record stores). If there was a place to get a certain Album in Germany - thats where you would get it. If you didn't get it there, you would get it nowhere. And there i found it. I listened to it the whole night after i came back home! Glorious times!
I used to go to my local record shop which was miles away from my home every week. Now I sit on the sofa searching the Internet for metal and porn. I miss the record shop so much.
Dude, what the fuck. I'm 40 years old. I've been listening to metal since my adolescent years. I'm listening to this for the first time right now. This is amazing. Holy fuck!
Great thing about death metal is you can scramble all the song titles and they would all still sound cool. Infernal Ritual, Zombie Death, Beyond The Unholy Scream, Land of Evil Gore, Regurgitated Blood, Baptized In Guts, etc. lol
My favourite song is probably Beyond the unholy cult cemetery which is decayed and burned to Infernal live in freezing leipzig of forgotten altars of lower considered dead by dawn of possessed 666 churches of doomsday to a World below in Harnessing nightmares made flesh Bloody chaos in hell i Burn and slowly rot in morbid bloodvomiting into the eternal molestation of hypocrite crystal leprosy of hellhammer Smashed headless Autopsy.
What I love about Death Metal is that even if you don’t like it as a genre, or even metal for that matter, you can still appreciate how impressive it is to play and come up with. Chuck was a true genius, and so are the other founders.
Saw Death in 1990 when they were touring for Spiritual Healing -- that pit was INSANE. Chuck was a madman. And when they revved up Mutilation, we all went absolutely APESHIT.
37 today. We have the same age. Discovered Death at 14yo. Have been one of my biggest influences in life ever since. Zombie Ritual starts playing and I still have got shivers all over me. Unreal. He'll always remain my fav guitarist ever. Thanks Chuck for a lifetime of emotions.
I had the pleasure of meeting Chuck in 1995 on the Symbolic tour. Nevermore was the opening band, and I got to meet Warrel Dane also, which was cool because I was a big Sanctuary fan in the 80's. Both of those guys have since left us. R.I.P. fellas, thanks for everything!
Can you imagine how much music we've missed out on because of Chuck's untimely passing? There is no doubt in my mind that we'd have at least a dozen amazing records at this point. RIP.
not saying it was good he passed but imagine if death turned to shit if he never passed, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Normally I don't listen to anything heavier than thrash bands like Megadeth; generally this stuff is too much for me. But for some reason I randomly decided to listen to this today and it's kinda awesome. I don't know how this happened but I'm glad it did.
@@FUCKINGENIOUS Funny you should say, I actually just checked them out not too long ago. They’re awesome! I think I’m officially on the death metal train.
R.I.P. Chuck S. You are a Death Metal Legend and Cancer took you to soon! I am a Cancer survivor my self. Its Sad that the Great Ones Die Young! This album is in my top 3 Death Metal Albums of all time.
I remember buying this on cassette!!!!!!! My parents sent me to confirmation classes - this certainly got the attention of everyone when I showed up listening to it.
I can never get tired of this band, great musicians!! The bass player is a machine and to hear bass in metal now says is rare.its all about the riffs anymore, death is everything metal wish it was now.
@@dikemavis666 Seven Churches is a seminal masterpiece! The first album with real and palpable features of Death Metal. But I think that Possessed still flirts with Thrash Metal in some breakdowns. Scream Bloody Gore is the album that takes Death Metal away from anything else. But yes, Seven Churches has a lot of Death Metal.
still blows my mind there was music this heavy in the 80s. first time i listened though Reign in Blood i couldn't believe it, and then classics like this are even more brutal! fucking awesome
BEYOND THE UNHOLY GRAVE Messenger of evil Haunting your soul Laying in peace Taking my corpse [Pre-Chorus 1] The meeting that was held Graveyard of death Trying to resist it Slow unholy breath [Chorus] Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave [Verse 2] Screaming in silence Within misery Inside is spilled With your brain [Pre-Chorus 2] Demeaning it was hell Graveyard of death Trying to resist it Slow unholy breath [Chorus] Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave [Chorus] Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave Beyond the unholy grave
I just went through every Death album in reverse order and skipped through random parts. Never found anything I didn't like. In fact, it doesn't get *worse* going backwards, just more raw. Never listened to Death before, but I just dropped a bunch of money on their entire discography on CD. Going to be a very fun next few months getting familiar with this band.
My personal ranking of songs \o/ 1. Zombie ritual 2. Evil dead 3. Infernal death 4. Denial of life 5. Torn to pieces 6. Mutilation 7. SBG 8. Baptized 9. Regurgitated 10. Sacrifical 11. Land of no return 12. Unholy grave
Not ONLY one of the best metal albums ever recorded, but also one of my favorite pieces of album art ever. Like look at that: skeleton dudes in cultish robes hanging out in a dark, dank tomb. Cozy lighting. And I love the purple shade the one in the throne is wearing. You just don't see this type of nice scene anymore on albums these days. The sound, the technicality, atmosphere, and thematic style is just superb. I thoroughly enjoy death metal which treads equally in grotesque gore, occult mysticism, and instrumentation which is at once ferocious, yet intricate and still preserving some good sense of chord progression and melody. This delivers just that.
Was lucky enough to catch them shortly before he got too sick to tour. I could not believe what a sweet guy he was. Such an evilly crushing album from such a nice dude.
@Sean Hassan Death was formed 3 years before Bolt thrower and Scream bloody gore came out 1 year before debut album of Bolt thrower, so u are wrong there. However many consider Seven Churches by Possesed to be the first death metal album, which was released roughly a year before Scream bloody gore.
Yes billy i agree with you bro possessed and the other ones maybe pre dated this record but dis was the first truly death metal album the another ones was just a fucking mess no offense
Reverb is on point, the atmosphere of this album is so unique and fitting with the music. I wish modern metal would produce like this again, raw sound. Everythings is too fucking polished and plastic sounding this days
@n n true, but it still sounded more in line with how they would sound live in a place with OK acoustics while modern bands just have everything pretty over produced and clean
DENIAL OF LIFE In your dreams The pain is so real Before the dead You'll have to kneel Hear your future screams See your epitaph As you scream The dead they laugh [Pre-Chorus] Pain, growing stronger Life, exists no longer Welcome, to a world of pain Death and despair [Chorus] Denial of life (Vile denial) Denial of life Denial of life [Verse 2] Created by your mind To overtake your life Sacrificial suicide End it with a knife Much too late To change your mind A bloody corpse Is left behind [Pre-Chorus] Pain, growing stronger Life, exists no longer Welcome, to a world of pain Death and despair [Chorus] Denial of life (Vile denial) Denial of life Denial of life
Back when this came out I bought it on cassette tape not knowing what it was, back in the day I bought albums based off the cover art and the name of the band as we had no internet to look it up. I fell in total love with it and it introduced me to the new world of Death Metal because up to this point I only listened to Thrash/Speed Metal. Chuck became my guitar influence later on as he progressed with each album. Love this band and everything Chuck has done
@Flat Earth Florida I was at that concert, it was my first show ever I too was 11, it was at Long Beach Arena in California and was lucky enough to be there the night they picked for the album, I believe they played 4 sold out nights at long beach that weekend... It was the best thing I'd ever experienced in my 11 years, I never heard music that loud or seen anything like that. My friends older brother took us and I was hooked, I couldn't see enough concerts after that
i finally listened to this whole album for the first time. good stuff! i see why this band is big in the death metal community. zombie ritual my personal favorite!
@@Steel8sons hell, it still blew my young mind in they early 2010s. And I’m still finding other bands now as I enter adult life. Metal never ceases to amaze!
@@ARG0T Don't get it twisted... those albums are legendary, brutal, innovative and atmospheric all in their own way. Chuck definitely took inspiration from all three and used that to make Scream Bloody Gore. Don't try to downplay their genius as well.
@@jorozco13yearsago40 Doesn't matter who influenced who. This album is x10 better than anything Metallica released after 1988, anything Slayer released after 1985 and especially any Megadeth after 1986. Besides, Chuck's biggest influence (among them at least) was Possessed
mark palavos3 yeah Possessed was the first proto Death band. In my opinion the first masterpiece was Morbid Angel’s first album but this from Death was a classic too. And of course Obituary, Deicide, Pestilence, Nocturnus, Cynic... Death Metal’s kings 🤟💀
One of the best OG Death Metal albums. Without Chucks influence (Possessed also), albums like slowly we rot by Obituary, Legion by Deicide or Eaten back to Life by Cannibal Corpse would have never exhisted to help create the Death Metal we all love today, past and present. RIP Chuck, the King of Death Metal straight up in my humble opinion.
I still can't get over how the man went through so many different styles of vocals with all of them sounding so different but none of them sounding anything short of amazing. I still don't know how he did that style on The Sound of Perseverance. I don't think I've ever heard anyone come close to mimicking it, either. Well, maybe Vektor, but that's it. And that's just his singing! The dude was also tearing it up on guitar while doing that! Some of the most influential stuff in the metal world. Chuck was wild.
Also mine. I'm new and Death metal, I like Death, Bloodbath, Immolation, Massacre, Sadus, Cannibal Corpse, Entombed, Unleashed and Morgoth. Any recomendations? Thx
A. Od-Reszki Morbid angel is crucial, especially the first 4 albums IMO. Also highly rate Edge Of Sanity, they're very underrated. If you want to try something more technical Cynic, Obscura and Atheist are all amazing. Sort of a different genre all together but some amazing melodic death metal bands are In Flames (first 5 albums), insomnium, children of bodom, dark tranquillity and the first Wintersun album which is in my top 10 albums of all time :)

I wonder if the members of these genre-defining bands Hellhammer, Venom, Death, Bathory, etc. would be thrilled to hear all the bands influenced by them
Such an awesome album. I bought this at Tower Records on cassette in '87 just because the album cover was so beyond EPIC. I was 15 and remember picking it up along with Exodus Bonded By Blood. I really miss those days of randomly picking out albums just for the artwork lol.
I remember first hearing this on Cobra Records in Winter 1987 in Canada. What a great album! I read in a magazine how good this album would be and it was - just look at the cover and read the song titles alone! Every song on this album is killer, so it's hard to pick favorites, but i'll go with 'Evil Dead'. Awesome times and awesome memories - SBG was sure a huge influence to me musically, no doubt! Hails to old Death! Hails from Canada!
Avevo un giubbino senza maniche in jeans molti anni fa',dietro avevo teschio dei candlemass,poi una t-shirt con disegno di questa copertina...disegnati entrambi da mio amico batterista di metal estremo... tutti noi adoravano i DEATH...(anche ora😊) grande band...solo perdita di Chuck ha impedito altri capolavori...riposa in pace🙏❤️

I agree with you Nelson
Nelson Oyarzun Second that.
Pølcifer Pøffer it appears you have 4thd lmao but I'll 5th it!!!
tyler somerville I second that
The slang meaning is "I agree" or "I support that".
I can never get tired of this band, great musicians!! The bass player is a machine and to hear bass in metal now says is rare.its all about the riffs anymore, death is everything metal wish it was now.
Chuck did bass on this album as well as writing all of the lyrics, vocals and guitar
The best bass is in individual thought patterns with Steve Digiorgio, but Chuck did do a good job here.
The album that defined Death Metal as we know it today. Timeless masterpiece!
Morbid Angel "Altars of Madness" defined death metal. This is more thrash than death, like Kreator "Pleasure to Kill".
@@dbpu4135 Altars of Madness is a seminal classic too, but the weight, density and identity of Death Metal comes from Scream Bloody Gore.
@@danielsan2142 What about seven churches?
@@dikemavis666 Seven Churches is a seminal masterpiece! The first album with real and palpable features of Death Metal. But I think that Possessed still flirts with Thrash Metal in some breakdowns. Scream Bloody Gore is the album that takes Death Metal away from anything else. But yes, Seven Churches has a lot of Death Metal.
Agreed. This is the album that creates death metal. Possessed came close but this one nailed it.
The high-pitched shrieks on this are PHENOMENAL
excellent album. i remember buying this on cassette in 1987. changed everything in the metal scene
yeesss i remember buying this album on audio cassette the month it was released from the surfe mall on the ocean city boardwalk in new jersey cheers 🍻
Death + Obituary + Morbid Angel = Death Metal Gods! 🤟💀
@@videoletturewicca3141 and Possessed!!
If anyone ever invents a time machine and we go back to 1987 will you be my girlfriend?
@@videoletturewicca3141 Sepultura?
No offense to other great bands and their albums, but this is still the best Death Metal ever had to offer.
Not one boring second on this masterpiece.
still blows my mind there was music this heavy in the 80s. first time i listened though Reign in Blood i couldn't believe it, and then classics like this are even more brutal! fucking awesome
Their Spiritual Healing live era is probably their heaviest and it's insanely brutal, though I think that's 1990.
Too same. I'm 54 old. this Is my youth...... i'm listening still
@@mck7646 Human is heavier IMO.
@@zondaboy6493 are you referring to the human live era?
@@mck7646 Human was definitely heavier, the tone was so fat and the drums were just killer.
BEYOND THE UNHOLY GRAVE
Messenger of evil
Haunting your soul
Laying in peace
Taking my corpse
[Pre-Chorus 1]
The meeting that was held
Graveyard of death
Trying to resist it
Slow unholy breath

Beyond the unholy grave
Beyond the unholy grave
Beyond the unholy grave
[Verse 2]
Screaming in silence
Within misery
Inside is spilled
With your brain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Demeaning it was hell
Graveyard of death
Trying to resist it
Slow unholy breath
[Chorus]
Beyond the unholy grave
Beyond the unholy grave

I just went through every Death album in reverse order and skipped through random parts. Never found anything I didn't like. In fact, it doesn't get *worse* going backwards, just more raw. Never listened to Death before, but I just dropped a bunch of money on their entire discography on CD. Going to be a very fun next few months getting familiar with this band.
a very ,very wise decision young man.
i'll never forget the day i first bought this lp.
and its been 30 years.
Been going great so far. Individual Thought Patterns is a standout for me.
Insederec i got the same feeling when i had discovered them for myself. enjoy!!!
I would ALSO recommend Chuck's other work Control Denied especially if you enjoyed the last 2 Death albums.
onewithmyself i probably enjoy all the death albums equally lol depends on my mood
S.B.G was a game changer Chuck truly was a pioneer of death metal
Daniel Fish
Without Sacrifices and DEATH.... there wouldn't be DEATH METAL
My personal ranking of songs \o/
1. Zombie ritual
2. Evil dead
3. Infernal death
4. Denial of life
5. Torn to pieces
6. Mutilation
7. SBG
8. Baptized
9. Regurgitated
10. Sacrifical
11. Land of no return
12. Unholy grave
Not ONLY one of the best metal albums ever recorded, but also one of my favorite pieces of album art ever. Like look at that: skeleton dudes in cultish robes hanging out in a dark, dank tomb. Cozy lighting. And I love the purple shade the one in the throne is wearing. You just don't see this type of nice scene anymore on albums these days.
The sound, the technicality, atmosphere, and thematic style is just superb. I thoroughly enjoy death metal which treads equally in grotesque gore, occult mysticism, and instrumentation which is at once ferocious, yet intricate and still preserving some good sense of chord progression and melody. This delivers just that.
Yeah man Death Metal isn't exactly what it use to be that's for sure
Baptized in blood has to be the most badass sounding song name. So morbid at the same time. One of my favorites 🤘
All these song names can be album names
I like "Baptized in the blood of Satan" by Imprecation. Great title as well.
back in 1986-1987 when I first heard DEATH I knew nobody would be as great as they were. 2020 this album still in my top 10 ever. RIP
Chuck was a legend it needs to be remembered that he played all the instruments here except the drums.
Fascinating
Was lucky enough to catch them shortly before he got too sick to tour. I could not believe what a sweet guy he was. Such an evilly crushing album from such a nice dude.
0:00 death metal born
Billy Anggranesta ha ha noo bolt thrower was around before death and they had a big influence on Chuck
@Sean Hassan Death was formed 3 years before Bolt thrower and Scream bloody gore came out 1 year before debut album of Bolt thrower, so u are wrong there. However many consider Seven Churches by Possesed to be the first death metal album, which was released roughly a year before Scream bloody gore.
Yes billy i agree with you bro possessed and the other ones maybe pre dated this record but dis was the first truly death metal album the another ones was just a fucking mess no offense
Death metal was born dead in seven churches, but here it was Baptized in Blood
seven churches
31:28 Theres something about the rawness of that solo that i absolutely love. and those pinch squeals make me pitch a tent
I also enjoy camping in the great outdoors with some good death metal. Nothing like some nifty little death ditties to set up camp to.
This is the one Death album that sounds tougher and tougher the more it ages. Beautiful!
Reverb is on point, the atmosphere of this album is so unique and fitting with the music. I wish modern metal would produce like this again, raw sound. Everythings is too fucking polished and plastic sounding this days
“Plastic” pretty accurate
@n n different uses yield different results
Yup. Give me nasty raw death meta
@n n true, but it still sounded more in line with how they would sound live in a place with OK acoustics while modern bands just have everything pretty over produced and clean
@Metal head yeah me too, nothing beats the old school
This is the greatest Death Metal album ever!
One of the Greatest and Most Powerful Debut Albuns in Extreme Metal History. Hail Chuck, God Bless You!!
I can't get enough of the opening riff and screams on infernal death. That's how you kick off a debut album
DENIAL OF LIFE
In your dreams
The pain is so real
Before the dead
You'll have to kneel
Hear your future screams
See your epitaph
As you scream
The dead they laugh
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain, growing stronger
Life, exists no longer
Welcome, to a world of pain
Death and despair
[Chorus]
Denial of life (Vile denial)
Denial of life
Denial of life
[Verse 2]
Created by your mind
To overtake your life
Sacrificial suicide
End it with a knife
Much too late
To change your mind
A bloody corpse
Is left behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Pain, growing stronger
Life, exists no longer
Welcome, to a world of pain
Death and despair
[Chorus]
Denial of life (Vile denial)
Denial of life
Denial of life
The album you put on at parties when newbies ask to hear Death Metal. Rest in pieces, Evil Chuck and ty.
Good to see a metal fan and a Doctor Who fan!
A REAL party.
metalhead party
Scream Bloody party is beyond the unholy grave in the Land of no return, you must do a Zombie Ritual here
War Zone wait, I'm the 14 metal kid and this is my favourite album
Mother: Gives Birth
Credit card: *declines*
The doctors: Track 3
🤣
Rest in Peace Chuck Schuldiner
Its been 17 years today and we all miss you and the impact you had on all of us and metal \m/
We miss you, Chuck
It scares me been a "normal person" and not been abble of enjoying this masterpiece
this album is a miracle of the universe
Back when this came out I bought it on cassette tape not knowing what it was, back in the day I bought albums based off the cover art and the name of the band as we had no internet to look it up. I fell in total love with it and it introduced me to the new world of Death Metal because up to this point I only listened to Thrash/Speed Metal. Chuck became my guitar influence later on as he progressed with each album. Love this band and everything Chuck has done
@Flat Earth Florida I was at that concert, it was my first show ever I too was 11, it was at Long Beach Arena in California and was lucky enough to be there the night they picked for the album, I believe they played 4 sold out nights at long beach that weekend... It was the best thing I'd ever experienced in my 11 years, I never heard music that loud or seen anything like that. My friends older brother took us and I was hooked, I couldn't see enough concerts after that
I LOVE HOW RAW DEATH WAS IN THE EARLY DAYS// THEY PROGRESSED IN STYLE YET THE OLDER STUFF HAD INCREDIBLE SOLOS// RIFFS// BREAKDOWNS
Can't believe this is from 1987. Imagine all 80s Hits next to this xD Death definetely was ahead of its time.
i finally listened to this whole album for the first time. good stuff! i see why this band is big in the death metal community. zombie ritual my personal favorite!
Brutal album!!
My all times favorite Death album! Their discography is 100% awesome, but SBG gets me even harder than the others
Damn to think this came out only a year after master of puppets, reign in blood, and peace sells.
The best years for sure for decades to come in music history! I was discovering them all in the 90s and even then they’re mind blowing to digest \m/
@@Steel8sons hell, it still blew my young mind in they early 2010s. And I’m still finding other bands now as I enter adult life. Metal never ceases to amaze!
And this album absolutely slaughtered all three of those
@@ARG0T Don't get it twisted... those albums are legendary, brutal, innovative and atmospheric all in their own way.
Chuck definitely took inspiration from all three and used that to make Scream Bloody Gore.
Don't try to downplay their genius as well.
@@jorozco13yearsago40 Doesn't matter who influenced who. This album is x10 better than anything Metallica released after 1988, anything Slayer released after 1985 and especially any Megadeth after 1986. Besides, Chuck's biggest influence (among them at least) was Possessed
And so death metal was born! What a master piece!!!
No Seven Churches was the first death metal album. But this is good too.
mark palavos3 yeah Possessed was the first proto Death band. In my opinion the first masterpiece was Morbid Angel’s first album but this from Death was a classic too. And of course Obituary, Deicide, Pestilence, Nocturnus, Cynic... Death Metal’s kings 🤟💀
Fuck!!! Seven churches is THRASH not death metal. Can't you hear the music?
We love Possessed and Death.
@@markpalavos3742 seven churches is thrash
This album goes hand in hand when playing DOOM.
DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
DOOM got me into death/doom metal :]
this album is too soft for doom
@@RonnieRawdawgtoo soft for DOOM? the fuck do you listen to then? You probably didn't have your volume up all the way or your headphones suck
I feel ya on that one brother
this album is amazing. this is my first time listening to death and I definitely will be listening more.
One of the best OG Death Metal albums. Without Chucks influence (Possessed also), albums like slowly we rot by Obituary, Legion by Deicide or Eaten back to Life by Cannibal Corpse would have never exhisted to help create the Death Metal we all love today, past and present.
RIP Chuck, the King of Death Metal straight up in my humble opinion.
This was Chuck's best vocal style.
For me it was spiritual healing. I think that some songs on later death albums would've been better lower, but they still work.
I love his vocals all throughout his musical career
I still can't get over how the man went through so many different styles of vocals with all of them sounding so different but none of them sounding anything short of amazing. I still don't know how he did that style on The Sound of Perseverance. I don't think I've ever heard anyone come close to mimicking it, either. Well, maybe Vektor, but that's it. And that's just his singing! The dude was also tearing it up on guitar while doing that! Some of the most influential stuff in the metal world. Chuck was wild.
I think his best vocals was on Sound of Perseverance
@@HritNo. It was on Healing album. On Persiverance was weakest vocals.
Classic!!
U can hear all the musical theme he explore on all his works after.... Absolutely phenomenal
Death is one of the bands that has not any single trash track in each album
My first Death Metal band
THE first Death Metal band.
Also mine. I'm new and Death metal, I like Death, Bloodbath, Immolation, Massacre, Sadus, Cannibal Corpse, Entombed, Unleashed and Morgoth. Any recomendations? Thx
A. Od-Reszki Morbid angel is crucial, especially the first 4 albums IMO. Also highly rate Edge Of Sanity, they're very underrated. If you want to try something more technical Cynic, Obscura and Atheist are all amazing. Sort of a different genre all together but some amazing melodic death metal bands are In Flames (first 5 albums), insomnium, children of bodom, dark tranquillity and the first Wintersun album which is in my top 10 albums of all time :)
Henry Walton Thanks, they are great! I also like Karma Obscura - it's tech death album by Trauma
@@a.od-reszki4674 My first and unique Death metal Band

The true start of death metal. I was there. 19 years old at the time. I was blessed with the perfect birth year. Saw them live on the Leprosy tour.
this album is brutal! remembering old days with this masterpiece
Haha i was doing the same, drinking beer listening to og metal! Rock on man /m\

Chucks Vocals on "Torn To Pieces" still sound inhuman and demented. Still listen to it daily since 30 years.
the evolution of guitar technicity from MANTAS to CONTROL DENIED or "the sound of perseverance" is unique !!!!!!!!! still thanks chuck ! ! !
Chuck didn't even like tech/prog stuff early on. Ask ATHEIST.
Not only guitar technique evolved. The song-writing and Chuck's writing changed out of recognition too, not to mention the sound engineering...
what guitar technicity?!! it all sounds like a swarm of flies interrupted by occasional hiccups!
VOODOOCULT .... .
I wonder if the members of these genre-defining bands Hellhammer, Venom, Death, Bathory, etc. would be thrilled to hear all the bands influenced by them
Venom probably wouldn't be. Bathory was clearly influenced by then, despite Quorthon claiming otherwise, yet Venom didn't like them
@@richardjohnson8796 Does Cronos even like anyone or anything to begin with?
God of Death Metal Forever! And R.I.P Chuck......
I was born the day this was released.
Oh your name should be Gory jajajj
Such an awesome album. I bought this at Tower Records on cassette in '87 just because the album cover was so beyond EPIC. I was 15 and remember picking it up along with Exodus Bonded By Blood. I really miss those days of randomly picking out albums just for the artwork lol.
I remember first hearing this on Cobra Records in Winter 1987 in Canada. What a great album! I read in a magazine how good this album would be and it was - just look at the cover and read the song titles alone! Every song on this album is killer, so it's hard to pick favorites, but i'll go with 'Evil Dead'. Awesome times and awesome memories - SBG was sure a huge influence to me musically, no doubt! Hails to old Death! Hails from Canada!
Hails from 🇨🇦 as well!
Happy 37th anniversary of this album’s release
Best growl in music history, best guitarist, best composer. Thank you, Chuck.
I love how hard the bass slaps here
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I don't often listen to Death
But when I do, my neighbours do too
Rolling Rock why you not my neighbour
You should listen more often!!
I force my neighbors to listen to them
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I don't often listen to Death
But when I do, my neighbours puke blood too
'neighbor' if you're u.s.
Me acuerdo cuando aprendí a tocar "Zombie Ritual" y escuchaba Death todo el día. Ahora, he vuelto a las andadas. Chuck es nuestros corazones🖤🖤🖤
My second favorite death band
God bless you, Chuck.
best death metal album cover eva
mick davidson Leprosy's and Spiritual healing's are better in my eyes, even Symbolic's, but this is awesome
Avevo un giubbino senza maniche in jeans molti anni fa',dietro avevo teschio dei candlemass,poi una t-shirt con disegno di questa copertina...disegnati entrambi da mio amico batterista di metal estremo... tutti noi adoravano i DEATH...(anche ora😊) grande band...solo perdita di Chuck ha impedito altri capolavori...riposa in pace🙏❤️
