Death - the tale of one man's tireless musical genius that took this name from the
obscurity of a teenage garage band to the glory of a living legend.
With all music being written by him, Death has been single-handedly sustained by the
mastermind of Chuck Schuldiner, band-former and sole-survivor of the original line-up.
Chuck and Death are two words that have since long become synonymous to each other.
If not the first, Death were certainly among the very first bands responsible for the birth
of deathmetal. Not many bands inflicted as much influence and inspiration on the
inception and evolution of this genre as Death did.
From the primitive, brutal intensity of Scream Bloody Gore; the truest, downright,
classical deathmetal of Leprosy; the rich, aggressive thought-out-ness of Spiritual
Healing; the avant-garde thunderous gallop of Human; the technical, progressive
redefinition of Individual Thought Patterns; to the unparalleled sonic intelligence of
Symbolic, Chuck Schuldiner has displayed undeniable versatility and skill, bringing out
deathmetal in its truest spirit.
"From the 1983 Mantas demo to their current LP offering, the band has evolved from
bone-basic primitivity to a technical flawlessness imitated by many but matched by none."
- Kevin Sharp
Needless to say Chuck Schuldiner has established himself as the greatest icon of
deathmetal, and there is yet to be a man who can top what he has achieved. This page is a
humble dedication to a musician that has symbolized pure and simple but complete
............. perfection!
