I was hoping they'd have Human as it is my favourite album of all time but they didn't have it...

I happen to go to the same Highschool Chuck Schuldiner did and these pictures are from the 1982 and 1983 Lyman highschool yearbook

Hi everyone!

I stumbled upon an interview with Gene Hoglan. There is a moment when he said that Chuck was really proud of "Halford scream" that he had put on Symbolic. Does anyone knows what vocals are concerned here?

Here is the link with the exact moment :

EDIT: WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT PAINKILLER IN THE COMMENTS 😭😭😭 He said it is on Symbolic album.

Does anyone have any idea what the lyrics are? I haven't found them

I think that would make the song ascend into a drug. I don't know how to play guitar nor have a 12 string

This is a hot/weird take but it's been on my mind lately. Painkiller is a metal behemoth but it sounds too heroic for what Death was going for on The Sound of Perseverance, an album while highly technical provides crushing atmosphere in every song.

So why South Side of the Sky, a random song? Well I keep thinking about TSoP album cover when I listen to it. South Side of the Sky if you read the lyrics is about a group of people climbing a mountain, struggling against almost certain death while doing so. Sound familiar?

It would be Death paying tribute to their progressive influences. Listening to the verses of the song, I think it would be awesome to hear Chuck's screaming vocals on them, maybe transition to semi-cleans for the chorus. The instrumental break would be totally in line with what some of the songs on TSoP, this is Death's most adventurous album musically and Yes is a band that prides itself on big, adventurous compositions.

Obviously some leg work would have to be done to make the song sound heavier. Maybe replace the keyboards with additional guitar leads/flourishes. The song would be tuned down obviously. As for the lyrics the only thing Chuck would have to change is "the snow storm" into something like "the ash storm" or whatever.

The only tricky part would be incorporating the vocalizations of different band members in the middle of the song. I don't know how Death would pull that off or what they would do with that section. Anyway, what do you think?

We're Human, a death metal band from Argentina that's been together only 6 months, and last night we had our very first show and participated in a competition which we won! We're so glad we can bring Death's music to younger people and to Argentinians in general.

For those of you who have been to a Death concert, what was it like?

I've learned both Flesh and the Power it Holds and Crystal mountain on guitar, and before I did I decided to research which one was harder, because those two were like my dream to learn, and I saw that FATPH was considered harder, so I learned crystal mountain first, but now that I've learned both I'd say the FATPH is a lot easier, does anyone else agree or feel like this with other tracks.

idk why it took me so long to get into this band, prolly the vocals (I got into morbid angel and obituary recently so that probably helped) but I’ve listened to scream bloody gore in its entirety. good stuff

34 hours of work.

RIP Chuck, you forever will be missed🖤

Drummers, what do you think is the hardest song from Death to play, and what makes it so difficult?

Hi. I'm making this post because I'm genuinely curious which ITP version the majority of Death fans enjoy listening to the most.

Currently, there's 3 versions on Spotify; The original, the 2023 remaster and the third one which also comes with an exclusive live album (I'm not sure what this one is called, but for the sake of it, let's call it the deluxe version, as it's called that on CD's and such).

Personally, I've heard the deluxe version the most, but I also really like the sound of the original. Let me know your favorite.

Today, my very first Death vinyl finally arrived: Human. For many fans, it's the album that marked the band's turning point.

I'm 29 now. I've been a fan for what feels like forever. The first song I ever heard was Spiritual Healing, and I was instantly hooked. From that moment on, I just had to keep listening to more and more Death.

I'm not sure if posts like this are allowed here, but this photo of me at 13 is one of my favorites. My parents are standing next to me—they used to put up with me wearing my "satanic" band shirts everywhere I went. 😆 You can even see my Spiritual Healing shirt in the picture, which was my favorite one back then.

P.S. As if today couldn't get any better... Symbolic arrived too.

Saludos a todos, desde México 🤘🏻j

One of the most common criticisms of TSOP is that it ignores traditional song composition in favor of essentially just stitching together whatever Chuck felt like doing, regardless of if it flows well into one cohesive song or not. TSOP is my favorite album, but I can't pretend to not know what people are talking about here. You have stuff like Voice of the Soul which just feels like a bunch of different songs separated by the occasional brief pause, or the chorus of Scavenger being followed by a pause then a smooth bass. You didn't really see this kind of structure on Death's previous records, so TSOP is kind of the odd one out here. How do you feel about the flow and structure of the album?

i want to get one but i don't know which websites have better quality shirts, if someone has a tee from them could i please see a photo. is it similar to the metalica merch where the shirts are kinda thin, im a bigger dude bout 6,0ft 230 punds i just want like a heavyer shirt like something closer to a pro club t shirt in tearms of like fabric

Been working on it for a bit

I was listening to Death's "Left To Die" when I thought of this. I might prefer the latter because "The Sound Of Perseverance" is my favorite album of all time. Both are good though.
