one of the heaviest, most epic & emotionally moving metal albums of all time
Hey86bresnahan - I couldn't agree with you more! Honestly I love all eras of Death but this album for some reason just resonates with me so much more. Its an absolute classic and the ideas that are presented on this are so far above their station. Its incredible. I hope that you enjoyed the video my friend and thank you so much for watching!
Truly one of the best “final albums” of any bands career.
Reasons to listen to death:-
#1 it's fuckin DEATH
#2 no bad album
#3 fantastic guitar and drumwork
There is no such thing as Best Death album. All of their albums are perfect
B0gdaN - I absolutely agree with you there my friend. I have to say that my allegiance has been with Human for a long time, given I think to the fact that was the album that saw them really take off into the world of Prog but I absolutely love Spiritual Healing and of course Symbolic and ITP - Scream Bloody Gore of course has its merits as does Leprosy. All Death's discography goes down as rewriting Metal's history. Can you imagine what we would have now in the modern day if Chuck was still alive? Anyway man, it means the world to me that you watched the video let alone commented! I hope that you enjoyed the video :) And thank you so much for checking out the show
TheMetalTris My favorite albums are Human and Leprosy, I like them a bit more than the rest. Also, if Chuck never had cancer, we would have control denied, but who knows how much Chuck would have evolved.
Agreed! Individual thought patterns remixed/remastered.. That shouldn't of happened though. Lol especially without consulting or involving Steve D. They were wrong for that. Mixing is all off.
except spiritual healing
I've never heard a more comprehensive breakdown of Death. They are such an important band that will live forever in history as the ones that started it all for countless bands around the world. All these yrs later you can listen to any of them and it's just as fresh and modern now as it was then. 🤘🤘
Hey Chris!
Honestly, you're too kind! I really do think that they are one of the most important bands in the Metal genre that their influence cannot go understated. With every album they forged a new path and its not many bands that you can say really did that for the genre. Death are something else completely. You're exactly right, I remember when I first heard Death must have been about 5 - 6 years ago now when I was really getting into them. I worked my way through their discography one summer and listened to literally everything that they had ever made in chronological order so that I could make sense of it. Anyway dude, thank you so much for the kind words man and I'm so happy that you're enjoying the content I'm putting together!
Not many bands can replicate that. Their material sounding as fresh as it did, when one of their albums would come out.
Don't Let Schudiner's legacy Die!
Greetings from Brazil!
Brilliant album. That fast chorus riff in Spirit Crusher is absolutely spectacular. Schuldiner is an idol of mine, he was a humble genius.
Great video man as always.
Hey Brett! I couldn't agree more, I would have loved to have met him. I feel that as a human he would have had such a positive energy, despite a lot of the negative connotations that lyrics might bring with them at the end of the day Schuldiner saw the humanity in humans. It was a real treat to be able to do this video and for as many people to check it out as they, thats the real honour for me! Thanks so much for the continued support Brett my man!
One of the greatest metal albums of all time, without a doubt. Words can't describe how perfect it is. RIP Chuck! \m/
I couldn't agree more with you Rhys, honestly one of my favourite albums ever. Death had potentially one of the best careers in Metal and what a way to go out than with The Sound of Perseverance. Here's a challenge what would you say is your favourite track from the album? Thanks so much for watching dude and I hope that you enjoyed this episode!
TheMetalTris Gotta be The Flesh And The Power It Holds for me but they’re all great... very difficult challenge indeed. You??
This is the album that started it all for me with Death. An absolute masterpiece.
Hey Michael! Its a wird one isn't it with Death. I feel that everyone has their own starting place when it comes to the band. Some beginning (like I did) with Scream Bloody Gore but then others just kick off right at the top. Truth be told I did buy TSOP and wasn't sure what to do with it so I just kept it as a CD for a long time before I thought "Hey, why not, lets give it a go" you never know, I might like it now! Thank you so much for the kind words :)
Same.. Started here and went backwards in the late 90s
Contrary to ever person I know, I think this is Chuck's best album. It was so unique at it's time. Great review.
Mere words can not express, or convey how much this band means to me, as well as countless others!!!
My favorite band, of all!!!!
Chuck we miss you🤘
I'm sure that you speak for us all there dude. Chuck was an absolute visionary and what I would do to be able to see the band perform live with their entire line up. It would bring a manly tear to my eye! Thank you so much for watching the video, I hope that you enjoyed it!
I totally agree about the solo in A Moment of Clarity. That solo has consistently given me one of the strongest emotional reactions from any piece of music. It just hits all the right notes, and I admit it's gotten me teary eyed before.
Hey Zach! Ah man that is so awesome that you think the same! Its honestly one of my favourite solos of all time for sure! The level of emotional quality that it brings with it is unparalleled. Have you been a big Death fan from Day one? Thanks you so much for checking out the video and I hope that you enjoyed it man!
@@TheMetalTris Sorry for the late reply. I discovered Death when I was 14 in 2009 as I was just forming my musical taste and interest in metal, and since then they've consistently stayed in my top 5 favorite bands.
Btw your content is great. I'm pretty starved for people giving critical analysis of extreme metal on RUclips and your stuff is A+. I would love to see you talk about Vektor at some point, as they're my current favorite band and I see them as the next generation of metal innovators.
By far. The greatest Death Metal legend of all time. Chuck Schuldiner set the bar so high that no one will ever reach it. Truly such an amazing album. My favorite band of all time. Thanks for the awesome review. Words can't describe how brilliant the sound of perseverance is. It's music perfection. R I P Chuck \m/
J J Hey JJ well thanks so much for the kind words my friend! I have to agree with you, what Chuck did for Metal is ever lasting and for me it’s a continuous change of TSOP and Human for my favourite or Symbolic. Every album has its unique aspects and is just another stepping stone towards the final hour of Death and Control Denied. I absolutely love this record and I hope that you enjoyed the video and it did TSOP justice haha! Sadly I don’t do these videos for MetalSucks any more but I have plenty of reviews and interviews on my channel if you’re interested. Let me know pal! Cheers!
The sound of perseverance has been in my car CD player for the last 2 years. I just can't take it out because it's just so damn brilliant. My best friend said to me the other day that someone asked him why metal heads don't listen to commercial music. He replied to them and said that if you ever had to sit down with me and I had to put a death CD on and explain every song to you about what every instrument is doing and the song structures etc. You will either get it or not but he will be explaining to the person for at least a month. There is 1 thing about listening to and playing metal. It keeps the human brain functioning at extremely high levels and it just shows us what we can achieve.
45 yrs old and still enjoying this album as the first day i heard it - great video
Great breakdown!
However, most people forget, that Sound of Perseverance was meant to be a Control Denied record. Chuck wrote most of the songs with the intention of it becoming the first Control Denied record, but could not get it released by Nuclear Blast, unless he made it into a Death record.
I am so glad he did! I love this album and also the inclusion of one of the best covers in metal! (Painkiller)
Tony king here the drum tech on sound of perseverance tour 🤘🤘
how smelly was richards drum stool?
I think every single Death album is amazing and that they're all equally great although they all have their own vibes.
Story To Tell makes me wanna cry my fucking eyes out. Those notes just pull it out of me. And then I think he’s no longer with us. More crying 😭
This video should be 40min long! :) I really enjoy this content!
Hahahaha oh Mario B. You're too kind dude! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video. Have you been watching the other videos? If so thats so awesome, thank you so much for the continued support! Is this one of your favourite Death albums? I honestly cannot choose a personal favourite of mine! Let me know man and thank you again so much for the kind words and the support :)
Chuck's masterpiece. Fantastic album! Death made so many great albums, i like them all equally👍
Hey Benny The Man, that seems to be a running trend here in the comments section. Though I have to admit that Death's The Sound of Perseverance was potentially one of the best albums ever made in Metal. Thank you so much for checking out the video and I really hope that you enjoyed it1 Let me know if you did!
My personal favorite album. Literally side by side with Rust in Peace for me. And I REALLY dont enjoy "Death metal" much. But this is so perfect, full of emotion, with the story behind it, many songs bring chills to my spine and some can make me shed a tear.
Same here, try symbolic if you haven t yet
Voice of the Soul really got to me tbh
best death album ever grandfathers of death metal rip chuck you are still missed
As technical as they got, what makes them stand out is the emotional content. The chops and technical abilities are still secondary to the emotional weight of the songs. Schuldiner was brilliant and in his own orbit.
Favorite track is story to tell by far. Such a dynamic track. Everything is really. Schuldiner died too soon. His next step woulda been legendary.
The guitar solos on this are just absolutely Godlike
Just ordered their 20th anniversary 3xLP set. Can not wait!
My favorite death album 😢
Hey kizu - I think that is such a hard one to answer, there have been so many people saying that this is their favourite Death album but I think I really have to say that there is not best Death album as all of them are so different but if you were to have a favourite, I'm pretty sure that I would be close behind you on The Sound of Perseverance haha thank you so much for watching. I hope that you enjoyed the video!
Still one of, if not my favorite, band to this day!
Thank you Evil Chuck, for hope and inspiration for years. Rest in Power!
Hands down my favorite Death record
I reckon that it must be quite a lot of people's favourite Death album! I have to say that it defnitely comes close for me but I'm swaying more towards Human for my top Death album, I just love the fact that that was where it all stemmed from you know? Anyway dude, thank you so much for watching the video and out of curiosity what would you say is your favourite track off this record?
One of the best metal album I've ever listened to.
He wrote a lot of the songs for his prog metal band but in order to get a record deal for them he had to make another death album
Chuck is still my musical God and his albums my Bible. He was very much a visionary. He was otherworldly, a pioneer, a genius and still a legend.
I miss him so much ... but I like to think he wasn't taken from us, so much as he was needed elsewhere.
Blesses, Brother 😔🙏🤍 We'll meet again someday 🙏🤍
The thing i remember when i think of this album are the songs all feel very differnt from each other. Just how each one was written sounds like it was from a different influence to me.
Very nice breakdown! This was the first Death-record I heard, except for Zombie Ritual and did not like it since it was so different. I thought that the Painkiller-cover was neat though. I have come around since and although it's my least favorite Death-record still, it's very good.
Thats one of those albums.. final masterpieces given by those bands that broke up
STILL A FKN MASTERPIECE IN 2023... the magnum opus
Chuck was far, far further into Futore as all we other Musicans, and his last Band Members
Dive "DEEP" into Chuck's Soul and give thair Life BEST what they can give, to do exactly that
what Chuck want .... and its fit's together as one!
Chuck Schuldiner was my Personal "Guitar Messias!"
I Love him, he was so once and when he spoke, he was so true and clear, a great Man!
Fantastic record. Pity it had to be their epitaph. 🙁
very cool review...love death
I was literally just listening to it then this popped up
Hey Spud Magnum! No way! How weird is that!?! I've had things like that happen before and its so cool! Either way, sounds like you're a pretty big Death fan and I hope that this video did the album justice for you. Thank you so much for tuning in my friend :)
@@TheMetalTris Haha hell yea man! \m/ Death got me into metal
Still as inspiring as on the day it came out.
Alot of this album was supposed to be control denied material
Could you do one of these on stained class by Judas Priest
Alguien se dió cuenta que este disco describe una relación con una psicopata?
The Sound of Perseverance was not supposed to a Death album. It should’ve been the first Control Denied album. Chuck didn’t want to be a frontman anymore.
Death metal is probably my favorite metal genre yet for some reason I've never gotten into Death. I'm going to listen to this album again to see if it moves me. Honestly, the vox are more black metal to me than death metal, and although I like black metal vox in other bands I prefer a roaring beast for this music.
Hey An Evolving Ape - man thats totally cool! I have to admit that it took me a good while to get into Death Metal what with the vocals and everything. Baring in mind that I was a child of the Metalcore movement for sure. Killswitch were my jam hah ! I think that once you get over the initial difficulty of the vocals then everything else just falls into place you know? But having said that I know just how hard it is to even get to that point. But thank you so much for watching the video and I hope that you enjoyed it!
I was certainly impressed with your passion for the record and all your reviews overall. I did spin the record again yesterday after watching this video. It was a better listening experience but I paid more attention to it so I think that helped. For sure some amazing musical moments. I thought their Painkiller cover crushed. I will definitely give it more spins. I still mostly listen to new releases and at the moment my metal musical tastes are satisfied very much by all the great albums produced by Unique Leader in the last few years.
An Evolving Ape Hey man! That’s so great to hear! One of the things I enjoy the most about these series is the fact that it makes me go back to records that I might have forgotten about or not listened to in a while with a completely fresh pair of ears!
It means a lot that you enjoyed the video though and that the passion cake through haha I spent a whole summer dissecting Death from SCBG right up to TSOP and they’re one of my all time favourites. As for Unique Leader you’re a man after my own heart haha! Cognitive’s new album is pretty killer and as for new material I mean it was Unique Leader that brought us Fallujah. Need I say more hahaha! So excited for what they have in store too.
But thanks again! What have you been enjoying most this year then?
For albums: I really like "Molten Giant" by Exocrine (listened at least a dozen times now), "Sewerborn" by Ahtme, and "Feast" by Alterbeast. I'm really REALLY looking forward to new Psycroptic and new Misery Index (two of my favorite bands because their records are amazing and their live shows crush).
I agree Chuck vocals sounded more black metal like the melodic death metal in that time.
The sound of perseverance was the best album Death could have end on, it wouldn’t have been the same if their last album was Symbolic or any of their other albums
There is a reason why you have that album cover behind you...
I rate this album better then anything Metallica or megadeath have done.
For me this is in the top 3 metal albums of all time, nothing sounds like it, it's a masterpiece 🤘
01:00 Song??
A Moment Of Clarity
Suiciniv may god bless you
Ah I see that a fellow Death fan has stepped in! If this is your first contact with the band, get ready! Haha thank you so much for checking out the video though my friend!
TheMetalTris ah man I already got into them :P just didnt recognize that part :D I have 2 original Death CDs from produced in 1998, 'Human' and 'Spiritual Healing'! Besides that I've got the 'Sound Of Perseverance' Special Edition, unused! But at all I explore their discorgraphy everyday a bit more :)
/shul dee ner/
Hey man! I'm not sure if you're implying that I've said it wrong but either way thanks so much for watching the video and regardless of pronunciation thank you so much for watching the video!
+TheMetalTris ya no problem I enjoyed except that part...ask Gene Hoglan it irks him a bit too. Yes it is pronounced Shul deener...common mistake mate no harm no foul.

You're a handsome dude
Hey sanquis m - Well thank you so much! I have to say that that makes a diference from being called an idiot or whatever insults fans might conjure up. I hope that you liked the video, let me know if you did!
@@TheMetalTris these videos are awesome don't listen to the haters on here I think you're cool bro and so do lots of other people
Not a huge fan personally. Leprosy is more my cup of tea. Also prefer the humour and musicality of Carcass.
As ever, loved your review mate.
Hey Carvalho! That's not a problem dude! I mean at the end of the day that is the beauty of music, everyone has their own opinions and nothing is right or wrong! Leprosy is still to this day an absolutely fantastic record and for anyone to say otherwise would be foolish! Its great to see that different tastes are still able to check out the same material though and thank you so much for watching the video my friend :) It means the world to me!
Are you single???
Lol
Dude, do a vídeo about atheist or cynic ^^
Hey Manuel!
I have actually had Cynic in my sights! Potentially a video on either Focus or Traced In Air (one of my favourite albums) I first heard that record from my friend who picked it up randomly and showed me at his house. He's now the bassist of Good Tiger if you know them? Its an absolute masterpiece and if I can I would love to do it justice to its 10 year anniversary, so keep an eye out! Thank you so much for watching this video and i hope that you're enjoying the series so far? Is this your favourite Death album?
@@TheMetalTris :0 good tiger its a amazing band, btw i love your reviews, keep doing it.
@@TheMetalTris hey, if you like: obscura,cynic,atheist, gojira, opeth, you REALLY need to listen alkaloid liquid anatomy and they first album
Manuel Clavijo Hey dude! Oh man The Malkuth Grimoire is absolutely brilliant! The Funeral for a Continent song is so great. Morean’s vocals are too notch. So glad they’re signed to Season of Mist now too! You’re a man with good taste! :) thanks for all the kind words as well dude
A hipster talking about Death.... no thanks.
imagine gate keeping a genre
