    "For anyone with a dream, this album is for you!" - Chuck Schuldiner
    First part of a discussion concerning the albums The Sound of Perseverance by Death and The Fragile Art of Existence by Control Denied, the two final albums by the musician Chuck Schuldiner. I explore the meaning of the lyrics and weave an interpretation of the themes and concepts that show these two albums to be but moments of an essential unity.
    If you like this content, please consider supporting the legacy and the musicians who were involved in Death and Control Denied.

    Unfortunately, the intro to the part about Voice of the Soul had to be cut out because the copyright claim prevented me from making the video public.

    The narration was beautifully composed, the editing topnotch, the subject matter fascinating-I eagerly await the next part! I adore philosophical analyses of art, and yours was masterful. The incorporations of Merleau-Ponty and Tillich were weaved in well, as were your reflections on the lyrics of each track. Well done sir!

    Brother, I think you’ve done Chuck’s music and memory real justice here. Great job for bringing such dignity to his music! I’m happy to subscribe to content like this! Glad to have found you. I’d love to hear what you have to say about Symbolic. Or any other death album for that matter. I’d also like to hear your analysis of every line of lyrics on both TSOP and The Fragile Art of Existence. 🙏
    Each Death album is a masterpiece in its own way as far as I’m concerned, but for me, TSOP will always be my favorite. A perfect cap to Death’s legacy. The message throughout is what I always come back to when I’m struggling. RIP Chuck.

      Mate, thanks so much for your comment! It's really nice to hear. I should really like to do more on Death, as well as other metal stuff with interesting insights about life. Symbolic would likely be the next I'd do on Death, but you're right: each album is a masterpiece in its own right and the whole of Chuck's development is a marvel. Sometimes I dare speculate what When Man and Machine Collide would've brought - we need that album today more than ever. Thanks again mate!

    Wunderbar! I am pleased to see a fellow thinker praising Schuldiner-a prodigy of extreme music-who certainly would’ve continued to broaden and diversify his musical content, had he lived longer. Your reference to Tiresias at the end was genius (Chuck would’ve been proud.) Would you say Death’s later albums are your preferred choices? I have to say that I am partial to Human (mostly due to the presence of Sean Reinert and Paul Masvidal.)

      Thank you for your kind comment! I really like all of Schuldiner's stuff, even Scream Bloody Gore - but it's just amazing to see the trajectory his whole music took in terms of the depth of ideas and artistic refinement. So I think I enjoy all of the albums, but differently, and that just makes Schuldiner's work that much more interesting. Look out for part 2 - I've written the script and should hopefully start production and editing soon!

      PS: if you put a gun to my head and demand to pick only 1 album, I'd probably spontaneously utter Symbolic - so many superb songs here.

      @@filipniklas Part 2 will be a pleasure to see.
      Well said-Each album has incredible elements, which makes it “stand alone.” For example, I can’t get enough of Hoglan’s drum work on ITP, the guitar tone of Leprosy, or the horror film influences on SBG.
