Very nice Interview with Chuck from 1991
R.I.P. Chuck - you will never be forgotten
05.12.2010
The family of late DEATH/CONTROL DENIED mastermind Chuck Schuldiner is moving ahead with plans to complete and eventually release the long-awaited second CONTROL DENIED album.
Chuck — who passed away in December 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor — began work on the CD, tentatively titled "When Machine And Man Collide", but never managed to finish the effort before his health quickly deteriorated in the months leading up to his tragic death. The remaining members of the group — bassist Steve DiGiorgio, vocalist Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon Hamm, and drummer Richard Christy — subsequently announced their desire to complete the album and release it in Chuck's memory, but legal hassles between Schuldiner's family and Hammerheart Records (to whom Chuck was signed at the time of his death) put the entire project on hold. (Karmageddon Media — formerly Hammerheart Records — has since issued various incomplete demo recordings as two separate low-quality albums, "Zero Tolerance" and "Zero Tolerance II".)
Chuck's mother, Jane Schuldiner, previously stated about the unfinished recordings: "[Chuck's] last masterpiece deserves more than to be released as unfinished bits of rehearsal room recordings on CD, or to be grabbed for free on the Internet. It deserves to be finished by the rest of the band and to be released on a full-length album, titled: 'When Machine And Man Collide'."
In a new posting on Chuck's official web site, Empty Words, Aymar had the following to say regarding the forthcoming CONTROL DENIED album:
"Those who know Chuck's music from DEATH and CONTROL DENIED have faithfully and patiently awaited the announcement of the completion of Chuck's dying wish, which is to get the final CONTROL DENIED record out to you , and along with my other bandmates, I am extremely happy to be here to fulfill the promise I made a decade ago.
"When I first talked to Chuck about auditioning for a new band he was working on, an extension of his former band DEATH which he called CONTROL DENIED. We first talked over the telephone, and he was not at all like what I had expected him to be. My bandmate, co-writer and dear friend Jimmy Dofka from PSYCHO SCREAM had turned me on to DEATH a few months before, and the picture I had in my mind of Chuck, judging only by how precise and beautifully violent that music is, was of a brutal tyrant. I mean, after all, just listen to Gene Hoglan's drumming and the command of Chuck's blood-soaked screaming, and you'll know what I mean.
"Well, I was delightfully wrong. The voice on the phone was just a guy like me, an easy-going, slow-talking hippie with a burning passion for metal. We both understood the seriousness of the business at hand, but neither of made it seem anything but exciting and fun, and that was awesome. That's just what professionals do. We talked about our tastes in music and inspirations and our idols.
"We were definitely on the same page. He said he wanted me to audition because from what he'd heard already from PSYCHO SCREAM, my voice had all the qualities he had been looking for since he began his journey into metal. There's a bit of everyone we both liked in there, a bit of Dio, Halford, Tyler, Gillan, Bonnet, all the best screamers in the biz. With that in mind, we set a date and I flew down to meet him and do the audition. I thought maybe there was a chance he was blowing a bit of smoke up my ass, because that's just what some people do. But no, as it turns out, he was one of the few people in this biz that didn't.
"I arrived at Orlando international [airport] and just grabbed my stuff at the luggage return, when Chuck, Scott, Chris and Shannon came running and screaming through the hallway like pack of wild dogs yelling, 'Tim Scream, Tim Scream,' my new nickname which later, at the house I found inscribed on a half gallon bottle of Jim Beam. They mugged me of my luggage, lifted me up and threw me in the air like a rag doll.
"I knew this was gonna be a hell of a week already.
"Surprisingly, we jumped into the car and they had the PSYCHO SCREAM tape in the player, and they were singing along like they'd known it forever. We got to the house and there it was... the ominous bottle with the letters J and B scratched out and the rest of the letters Sharpied in to spell out Tim Scream.
"We got to work right away...on the booze, and then we listened to a bunch of stuff from Chuck's vinyl collection.
"Once we got rolling in the studio, the work went smooth as buttermilk. We knocked out three songs in two-and-a-half days rather than the five we expected, so Chuck mixed down the tunes and when he was finished he called me into the kitchen. He poured us each a shot of Tim Scream, handed me one and said, 'We're all very happy about this, and if you want the job, I won't even call Halford back.'
"I could not believe what I had just heard. He not only wanted a voice like one of my all time greatest idols, he had planned on auditioning him after me. But that's how he said it. That's just what bosses do.
"The police showed up at our first practice as a band. Chuck was polite, but firm in his conviction when he said, 'You might think you know who you came here to hassle, but you don't know I'm probably the only person on this street whose house is paid for and my taxes are paid as well, I've been all over the world with my band and that's how I bought this place and not how these people who called you tell their children who say shit to my nephew at school and send him home crying. I just paid like 10 grand to soundproof my home so these people would not hear us, and now you're telling me it's too loud? What is the law? I'll abide [by] it.' He wanted to know because that's just what good neighbors do.
"So, at the end of the week it was time to say goodbye and I waited for the call from Chuck to find out the progress on his soliciting the demos. I waited, and worked my engineering job at Soundscape, and my management job at a home-improvement company sales office. Several family members had passed away, including my mom, and I was laid off from work, and Chuck did find a record deal with Nuclear Blast America, but it was for DEATH. I wasn't sure why he didn't contact me, but finally I got an email from Liz at Nuclear Blast and she told me Chuck lost my number and needed to talk with me about CONTROL DENIED. Then a friend brought over a copy of [DEATH's] 'The Sound Of Perseverance' and showed me the liner notes. Chuck had written to me through the liner notes that he lost my number. This is immortalized. Then when I went to pick up the phone to call him, it rang, I answered and it was him. It wasn't the first time it happened; it happened before and several times after this. It happens with other friends, too. That's just what spiritual connections do.
"I met up with the whole DEATH lineup when they finally hit Pittsburgh, and hung out with them for the rest of the night. This was my first time meeting Richard Christy, our drummer. Chris had already decided to move on, and that was OK, because we all knew how much he loved CONTROL DENIED, but he just couldn't hang around waiting and he joined up with another project. Richard I had already heard with his previous band BURNING INSIDE, because they are on the same compilation CD as PSYCHO SCREAM, so technically we were already on the same record together, although in separate bands.
"Well, Richard and I couldn't have hit it off any better. We're both practical jokers. Richard devised a plan to mess with the tour manager. He took a candy circus peanut, stuffed it into the neck of a Heineken bottle and popped the lid back on, and handed it to me. He said, put this in the cooler and when I tell you, grab it and give it to this guy. So the tour manager jumps on the bus and says, 'Somebody get me a beer,' and I handed him the Heiney. He popped off the top and tried to take a swig. Upon further inspection, he noticed something odd and that was my cue. 'Oh my god, there's a fucking mouse in it. Holy shit, it's a fucking mouse.' He just about vomited when we let him in on the joke. I showed them down the street to the 'O' to get some greasy-but-good-greasy pizza and we joked and talked some more and later, Richard said to me, 'You got a lot of balls fucking with the tour manager the first time we've met.' I waited for the punch line... 'So you're gonna fit right in with this bunch.' Yep, I already knew it.
"So I went back home again, and a month or so later , I packed my bags for Orlando. This time, it was to demo some new tunes since a few of the ones on the CONTROL DENIED tapes had been 'DEATH-ized' and recorded on 'The Sound Of Perseverance'. We demoed and wrote and re-demoed and re-wrote and we rehearsed with the band and.. barbequed. AAAAAAh yeah, carnivores, all of us. We love carnage, and Chuck was our master chef.
"Being a former chef by trade, I was impressed. He loved coffee and bagels too, so it became our morning ritual. Gourmet coffee, bagels and cream cheese, Jerry Springer and Southern rock. To get fired up before we hit the studio, we had our breakfast watching Jerry Springer to laugh at the stupidity, and we ordered up MOLLY HATCHET from the local radio station. When HATCHET came on, we'd crank it up and sing along at the top of our lungs like complete idiots. It was such a blast, so... not what you'd expect from such a prominent figure in the music business, yet that's why it all worked. How could anyone in the world have an ego tantrum or a pissing contest after behaving in such a manner? Impossible.
"Wait, I haven't even mentioned catfish sandwiches or Bethanne [Chuck's sister] yet. This story gets better.
"I met Chuck's sister at the country club she worked at. I had mentioned that I loved catfish, so they highly recommended the catfish sandwich. OH MY God! Good catfish, but I mean Bethanne. It took maybe five minutes to realize how awesome a gal she is. Not only is she a sight for sore eyes, she's sharp as a whip, funny as hell, a practical joker as well, and did I mention whip? Later on I saw another side of Bethanne I admire even more. DO NOT TRY TO HURT HER. I swear to that thing people swear to, if you try to hurt Bethanne, we're all gonna step aside and let her loose on you. I mean, I'd rather go toe to toe with Chuck Norris than piss her off. But seriously, when it comes down to it, she's the best sister in the world.
"OK, back to the barbequing.
"So, it was Valentine's Day. Chuck and I are two bachelors spending the day together because we're two weeks into rehearsals and still wrapping up the demos. Chuck bought chickens and steaks and I bought prawns and lobster tails and we're preparing a feast for ourselves and the rest of the cast of carnivores who were en route. Just as they rolled in for dinner and practice, Chuck brought me the phone. 'It's your dad,' he said. I almost swallowed my tongue. 'Huh?' My dad only calls me when bad things happen like when someone dies. 'You have to come home,' my dad said. 'Little Danny died.'
"My youngest brother was Chuck's age; this could NOT be real. The guys heard what just happened and they huddled around me and kept me from falling apart; that's just what brothers do. Chuck yelled, 'What bag do you want to take?' Oh fuck, this IS real. 'Don't worry, Bethanne and mom are gonna book you a flight and I'll get you to the airport right away.' It seemed like maybe three seconds but it must have been an hour or so, that she had the flight booked. That's just what sisters do. Chuck got me to the airport, and explained the story of his brother Frank, and why he named his band DEATH in order to turn such a horrible, negative feeling into something positive. 'Take your time, as long as you need, and when you get back, I want you to put everything you're feeling right now into this record, for yourself, for your brother and for mine, and from now on we have each other, we are brothers in pain, and it's our obligation to the fans to give them what we honestly feel.' I did, because that's just what singers do.
"Midway through recording, Chuck started having a problem with severe headaches and neck pain. Well, he'd been a guitarist for half his life and a headbanger at that, and he'd just come home a month before from a long-ass tour and had been spending more time than I would want to screaming at the record company about how they planned on launching this band. So I recommended he see a chiropractor to adjust his neck and get the blood flowing and that should have taken care of the headaches, too. Well, it would have, if the problem hadn't been a malignant brain-stem tumor that took his life two years later. That's just what cancers do. I know survivors, but I'm sure their survival were inevitable and were not recovery or a cure from any sort of treatment. These are people who had so much money that the doctors tried to kill them slower in order to get all their money, and the 'treatments' weren't strong enough to kill them, so their cancers probably went away on their own. That is also just what cancers do. And don't try to tell me otherwise, because I'm sure you don't know how to fucking cure cancer.
"So here comes the fun part. Before Chuck passed away, shortly after his first surgery he was well enough to write and track his parts, Richard's drums, Shannon's solos and a vocal template for me to go by for each of the songs. He called me shortly after he'd worked on getting the band off of Nuclear Blast because they did not execute several key factors of the contract such as advertising, and small things like FORGETTING TO PUT A FUCKING BARCODE ON THE FIRST 10,000 UNITS??? I've explained all this in great detail time and time again on BLABBERMOUTH.NET, so stop by sometime, search my name or CONTROL DENIED and you'll find plenty from back then. There was a war of words between myself, the new label Hammerheart, who was not financially stable enough to back any promises they had made, and Chuck tried to get that bogus deal settled, and get off that suicide rig, but he died first. leaving his grieving family to contend with the legal battle for nine grueling years. The company was finally forced to admit the deal was fraudulent, but they took the Schuldiners through hell first. That's just what record companies do. A lot of them anyway, but I think we've finally found a home that Chuck would be very proud of at Relapse.
"Enter Eric Greif. He is formerly Chuck's attorney, and considered a brother just like we brothers in the band, and like all brothers sometimes it meant arguments and fighting, and sometimes it meant making up and being best friends again. That's just what brother do, too. Well, Eric has been around the block, so to speak, as far as representing musicians, and he has made great progress on behalf of CONTROL DENIED, DEATH and the Schuldiner legacy. He's now the president of Perseverance Holdings Ltd. and Mutilation Music (BMI) which means basically that he is on board in Chuck's stead, to make sure his intellectual property is managed and his wishes are carried out. He's really kicking some ass since he's come on board. Both DEATH and CONTROL DENIED are now signed with Relapse, one of metal's most respected record companies. There are reissues of several DEATH records and is working to get most of DEATH's records reassigned to Relapse. The CONTROL DENIED CD 'The Fragile Art Of Existence' is re-released as a three- CD set, and a two-CD set, both with loads of special tracks and pictures and notes from the band. It just gets better and better every time I talk with him. That is just what good attorneys do!
"Eric gave me a call yesterday to let me know the time has come. Did you hear that? No, you probably can't believe I just said it. THE TIME HAS COME!!! Our producer, Jim Morris at Morrisound in Tampa, Florida who brought to life notable albums by DEATH, CONTROL DENIED, TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA, SAVATAGE, ICED EARTH, SEVEN MARY THREE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DEMONS AND WIZARDS, END-TIME ILLUSION, and OBITUARY, just to name a fraction of the killer artists on their roster, has contacted Eric Greif, informing the members of CONTROL DENIED that he is ready to begin laying out the planning and scheduling to complete Chuck Schuldiner's legacy, 'When Machine And Man Collide'. You heard it right, and you heard it straight from the horse's (hey, wait a minute) mouth. This record will see the light of day and be in your hands sometime in 2011 and Jim will make certain it's every bit as awesome as Chuck ever wanted and then some!!! That's what the Morrises do."
"Go now and carry this message to the metal masses and keep the metal flowing! That's what metal crusaders do. And we love you for it!!!

Relapse Records is honored to announce a partnership with Perseverance Holdings Ltd. and the Schuldiner family to reissue the legendary catalog of heavy metal luminary Chuck Schuldiner and his bands DEATH, CONTROL DENIED, and MANTAS.
Chuck Schuldiner’s DEATH, one of the most important and influential metal bands of all-time, will see the first official digital releases of it’s legendary albums ‘Scream Bloody Gore’, ‘Leprosy’, ‘Spiritual Healing’, ‘Human’, ‘Individual Thought Patterns’, and ‘The Sound Of Perseverance’ tomorrow, May 11th at this location. These digital releases will come two days before Chuck Schuldiner would have celebrated his 43rd birthday. Schuldiner passed away on December 13, 2001 after fighting a long, recurring battle with brain cancer.
Relapse will also reissue an expanded version of the classic debut album, ‘The Fragile Art Of Existence’, from Schuldiner’s progressive heavy metal band CONTROL DENIED in late 2010 as well as the first-ever collection by his pre-DEATH project MANTAS. The expanded version of “The Fragile Art of Existence” will include bonus tracks, extra band photography, expanded art and packaging and more. Details on both releases are forthcoming.
Long-range plans include the completion and official release of the final CONTROL DENIED album ‘When Man and Machine Collide’. Recorded over 10 years ago at Morrisound Studios with producer Jim Morris, ‘When Man and Machine Collide’ was tracked by Schuldiner but left incomplete upon Chuck’s passing.
A range of officially-licensed DEATH, CONTROL DENIED, and MANTAS merchandise has also been issued here. Many classic album art designs will follow in the coming months, making some highly sought-after designs available officially for the first time in years. Stay tuned to Emptywords.org, the official DEATH / CONTROL DENIED / Chuck Schuldiner website, and Relapse.com for more information.
Guitar World Magazine has released a special DEATH guitar transcription issue, available exclusively at this location. The book contains eight complete guitar and bass tabs for the following DEATH songs; “Pull The Plug”, “Zombie Ritual”, “Together As One”, “Spiritual Healing”, “Flesh and the Power It Holds”, “Crystal Mountain”, “The Philosopher”, and “Scavenger of Human Sorrow”. All songs were transcribed by Guitar World’s ace transcription team and are note-for-note accurate. The book also features the complete life and times of Chuck Schuldiner, including interviews with those who knew him best.

Chuck
— who passed away in December 2001 after
a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type
of brain tumor — began work on the second
CONTROL DENIED album (tentatively titled "When
Machine and Man Collide") in 2001 but
never managed to complete the effort before
his health quickly deteriorated in the months
leading up to his tragic death. The remaining
members of the group — bassist Steve
DiGiorgio, vocalist Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon
Hamm, and drummer Richard Christy —
subsequently announced their desire to complete
the CD and release it in Chuck's memory, but
legal hassles between Schuldiner's family
and Hammerheart Records (to whom Chuck was
signed at the time of his death) put the entire
project on hold. (Karmageddon Media —
formerly Hammerheart Records — have
since issued various incomplete demo recordings
as two separate low-quality albums, "Zero
Tolerance" and "Zero Tolerance II".)
Chuck's
mother, Jane Schuldiner, had previously stated

Chuck
is best known for being the founder, singer,
rhythm/lead guitar player and main songwriter
of DEATH, which he founded in 1983 and was
one of the first bands of the death metal
genre. Music biographers have referred to
Schuldiner as the father of death metal. Chuck

after a a battle with pontine glioma, a rare
type of brain tumor.
Chuck
was well known for playing the custom made

with making the guitar famous. In 2008, B.C.
Rich decided to pay tribute to Chuck with
a reissue of his famous Stealth with a portion
of proceeds going directly to the family of
Chuck Schuldiner. Check out the guitar here.

Hallo
Humandeath Fans
Ihr hab die letzte Zeit sicherlich gemerkt
dass ich kaum noch Updates auf der Page gemacht
habe. Das hat einen triftigen Grund. Ist nix
schlimmer - ihr braucht keine Angst haben,
Humandeath wird es weiterhin geben.
Aber ich werde für das nächste ½
Jahr sehr wenig Zeit für die Page haben.
Ich bin im Moment dabei mit meiner Freundin
ein Haus zu bauen und das verschlingt meine
ganze Freizeit. Aber das ist natürlich
etwas was vorbeigehen wird. Und wenn ich/wir
dann in unserem neuen Haus wohnen - werde
ich auch wieder mehr Zeit für mich und
für die Page haben. Dann geht es weiter
wie gehabt. Humandeath wird weiterhin die
umfangreichste DEATH Tribute Page im World
Wide Web bleiben.
Danke für euer Verständnis
Bye
Jochen S.O.D (The Webmaster) Hello
Humandeath Fans
Maybe you recognized that I haven’t
made some updates the last few Weeks. This
has a special reason. It’s not a bad
reason - humandeath is still existing. No
Panic ;)
But at the moment I build a home (domicile)
together with my girlfriend. And this work
needs my complete free time. For the next
half year I can’t make big updates at
the page. But we look forward to see a End
of this work. And if we are done with our
work, and live in our new home, I have again
more time for the Page and Humandeath will
still go on as the biggest DEATH Tribute Page
in the World Wilde Web.
Thanx for your understanding
Bye Jochen S.O.D (The Webmaster)

Guitarist
JAMES MURPHY Checks In With Update On DEATH
Tribute Album
Guitarist James Murphy (ex-DEATH, OBITUARY,
TESTAMENT) has issued the following update
regarding the status of the upcoming tribute
CD, "Within The Mind - In Homage To The
Musical Legacy Of Chuck Schuldiner":
"I've
just returned home to Florida from a six-week
stay in Los Angeles where I got tons of work
done for the DEATH tribute CD, 'Within The
Mind', which I have been working on together
with Deron Miller of CKY for a while now.
"My
first week was at Deron's home where he recorded
rhythm guitars for several of the album's
tracks. I was expecting that he would do well
but he blew my expectations out the door...
he played the songs amazingly and knew them
right off the top of his head.. and very few
punches were necessary (a rare feat, trust
me)... he knew the songs THAT well!
"In
week two I stayed at the home of one-time
DEATH guitarist Albert Gonzales. Albert, as
those who know their DEATH history very well
will remember, was the guitarist who took
my place for the second U.S. tour in support
of 'Spiritual Healing'. I had met Albert while
I was still in DEATH when we played a festival
that his then band, EVIL DEAD, also played.
Albert is a killer jazz-influenced player
whose solo style obviously impressed Chuck
quite a bit back in 1990 and which is even
more developed now and his contribution to
the 'Within The Mind' tribute is VERY cool
and brings his part in the legacy of DEATH
to full circle.
"During
week three I made a quick trip up to Seattle
where I recorded NEVERMORE guitarist Jeff
Loomis (photo,
with James), HIMSA guitarist Matt Wicklund,
and ex-FORBIDDEN, ex-NEVERMORE guitarist Tim
Calvert. Jeff laid down two incredible solos,
but that will be no surprise to those who
have heard him and followed his career in
NEVERMORE. Matt and Tim recorded a great solo
each. It was cool to see from Matt's contribution
yet another example that tasteful playing
is alive and well in newer metal bands and
it was an equally great pleasure to see Tim
step back in from musical retirement (he has
a successful aviation career) and show that
he still has it.
"For
week four I was back at Albert Gonzales' home
where RISE vocalist/guitarist Istvan Lendvay
also resides. Those unfamiliar with RISE may
know Istvan from his touring stints as fill-in
guitarist and bassist, respectively, for BEHEMOTH
and VITAL REMAINS. Istvan lent his vocals
to one track with great results. I also spent
a few days resting and recuperating from the
heavy schedule during this week.
"Week
5 brought me to the home of BRUJERIA, ASESINO,
ex-FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares where
drummer Nicholas Barker (BRUJERIA, OLD MAN'S
CHILD, LOCK-UP, ex-DIMMU BORGIR, ex-CRADLE
OF FILTH) was also staying during a trip to
the U.S. to rehearse with Dino for some BRUJERIA
shows and to write some material for their
as yet unnamed new project. Nick (photo,
with Dino, Deron Miller and James) laid down
the foundation for two more songs for the
tribute and Dino contributed his signature
rhythm guitars to one of those. Once again,
I am very happy and I can't wait for everyone
to hear them on the CD. Off the subject of
the DEATH tribute for a moment.....during
this week Dino and Nick asked me to record
and mix two of their new songs for their new
band.. I did and I can tell you that it's
awesome material and these two guys will be
roaring back very soon with a full CD of new
material with their new band and it's awesome,
brutal, fast, technical, VERY heavy and catchy.
"Week
6: Amidst preparations to fly home and wrapping
up the recordings with Dino and Nick I also
managed in the final week to meet back up
with Deron Miller who laid down an excellent
vocal track and I also brought another bassist
on board who happens to be an old friend of
mine and a longtime DEATH and death metal
fan — Tony Campos of STATIC-X. I've
known Tony since about 1996 and, despite that
his primary band is not known for playing
death metal, his sincerity as fan of Chuck's
music and death metal in general is the same
now as it was when I first met him some 8
years or so ago.
"I'm
back in Florida now and planning the next
trip out.. this time the east and northeast
U.S. and a short trip into Canada... time
to buy new thermals! As always I welcome your
comments.... just don't bother attacking the
credibility or musicianship of any of the
guests. Each were held to high standards and
2 major criteria... #1: Each must have been
a fan of DEATH and Chuck for years #2: Musicianship,
musicianship, musicianship — each guest
must be able to play Chuck's music... and
well.
"Thanks
for following the progress and for your patience...
it's going to be worth the wait!"

CHUCK
SCHULDINER: 'Zero Tolerance II' To Include
Early Demo Material, Live Recording - Aug.
9, 2004
Holland's Karmageddon Media (formerly Hammerheart
Records) has announced plans to issue another
collection of early demo recordings by late
DEATH/CONTROL DENIED mastermind Chuck Schuldiner.
Entitled "Zero Tolerance II", the
CD will reported contain DEATH's first demo,
"Death by Metal" (recorded in 1984
under the group's original name, MANTAS) and
the follow-up recording, "Reign of Terror",
also recorded in 1984. As a bonus, the collection
will feature a DEATH live show recorded at
the After Dark club in Texas during the "Spiritual
Healing" tour in 1990, "with a lot
of real and cool things happening during the
show," according to a statement from
Karmageddon. "And so far there is no
cool live recording available from those early
days…"
With
regards to the status of the incomplete sophomore
CD from CONTROL DENIED, Karmageddon said,
"Maybe ask the Schuldiner family about
that, we simply do not know and they still
refuse to tell us, sad enough."
"Zero
Tolerance", issued earlier this year
through Karmageddon Media, featured DEATH's
"Infernal Death" (1985) and "Mutilation"
(1986) demos alongside previously unreleased
demo recordings from CONTROL DENIED. (Quelle

Guitarist
James Murphy (ex-DEATH, OBITUARY, TESTAMENT)
has issued the following update regarding
the status of the upcoming tribute CD, "Within
The Mind - In Homage To The Musical Legacy
Of Chuck Schuldiner":
"Hi
everyone,
"It's
been a good while since my last update and
I apologize... Been quite busy with the 'Within
The Mind' project, which for those who don't
already know is the star-studded tribute to
Chuck Schuldiner and DEATH that I have been
working on, as well as a few guest appearances
which you will be able to read about on my
personal site.
"Here's
a list of everyone who has recorded so far...this
includes all the way to back to the start
of the project and brings us right up to date
as of last week:
Richard
Christy (drummer from DEATH, CONTROL DENIED,
and ICED EARTH)
Mark Hunter (vocalist from CHIMAIRA)
Matt Thompson (drummer from KING DIAMOND)
Matt Difabio (vocalist/guitarist from SINGLE
BULLET THEORY and PISSING RAZORS)
Bill Mezic (bassist from SINGLE BULLET THEORY
and SEVEN WITCHES)
and
most recently....
Jason
Bittner (drummer from SHADOWS FALL)
and
Matt Bachand (guitarist from SHADOWS FALL)
"Yes!!
a couple weeks ago I traveled to Albany, NY
where I was picked up at the airport by Jason
Bittner and we headed directly over to Hydrostatic
Recording Studios to begin setting up the
drums and getting tones for the session.
"We
started recording the drum tracks and rough
guitar tracks for 3 DEATH songs (not telling
yet!) the following day and SHADOWS FALL guitarist
Matt Bachand showed up a little later that
morning to be on hand to record guitar parts
for one of the songs.
"The
session went very smoothly and it was easy
to tell that Jason had been playing the songs
for quite a while and when you finally hear
his performance on the CD there will no doubt
as to why Modern Drummer magazine recently
awarded him the #1 Up And Coming Drummer Award.
Matt and Jason both kicked ass on the tracks
and once again the high standard set by Richard
Christy at the beginning of the project was
maintained!
"Next
up I'll be heading to the NY area again to
record for the project with Dave Culross,
Brett Hofmann, Ross Dolan, and others."

Infos:
No, this is not the new Control Denied-album,
no this is not a new Death-recording. These
recordings are a very cool Control Denied-rehearsal.
Nearly 30 minutes new and rough Control Denied-material,
recorded on 16 tracks with Chuck on guitar
(and an overdub on a second guitar, plus solo-guitar)
and Richard Christy (these days member of
Iced Earth) on drums. We think the recordings
sound great and we did our ultimate best in
mastering them. Track 5, 6 and 7 are the “Infernal
Death” demo from 1985 and track 8, 9
and 10 are the “Mutilation” demo
from 1986. So all in all an hour of Chuck
Schuldiner at the sad end of his great career
and in the very early years when everybody
could already hear something very special
was coming. What will happen with the “real”
Control Denied album? Maybe ask the Schuldiner-family
about that, we simply do not know and they
refuse to tell us sad enough. Anyway, enjoy,
if you are a Chuck Schuldiner, Death or Control
Denied-fan you will like this…

CHUCK
SCHULDINER's 'Zero Tolerance' Due At The End
Of The Month
Holland's Karmageddon Media (formerly Hammerheart
Records) has set "Zero Tolerance"
(view cover here) as the title of the upcoming
collection of unfinished recordings made by
late DEATH/CONTROL DENIED frontman Chuck Schuldiner,
due in Europe on March 22.
As
previously reported, Chuck, who passed away
in December 2001 after a battle with pontine
glioma, a rare type of brain tumor, began
work on the sophomore CONTROL DENIED album
(under the working title "When Machine
and Man Collide") but never managed to
complete the effort before his health quickly
deteriorated in the months leading up to his
tragic death. The remaining members of the
group — bassist Steve DiGiorgio, vocalist
Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon Hamm, and drummer
Richard Christy — subsequently announced
their desire to complete the CD and release
it in Chuck's memory, but legal hassles between
Schuldiner's family and Hammerheart Records
(to whom Chuck was signed at the time of his
death) put the entire project on hold. Schuldiner's
mother Jane has issued several statements
over the course of the last few months denouncing
the label's plans to release the incomplete
recordings without the family's consent, going
so far as to threaten to make any recordings
released by Karmageddon available as a free
download on Chuck's official web site, EmptyWords.org.

CHUCK
SCHULDINER's Mother: CONTROL DENIED Album
To Made Available For Free Download
Jane Schuldiner, mother of late DEATH/CONTROL
DENIED frontman Chuck Schuldiner, has issued
another statement in response to continuing
reports that the now-defunct Hammerheart Records
(currently operating under the name Karmageddon
Media) will be releasing the unfinished
sophomore album from CONTROL DENIED this spring.
As
previously reported, Chuck, who passed away
in December 2001 after a battle with pontine
glioma, a rare type of brain tumor, began
work on the album (tentatively titled "When
Machine and Man Collide") in 2001 but
never managed to complete the effort before

the CD and release it in Chuck's memory, but
legal hassles between Schuldiner's family
and Hammerheart Records (to whom Chuck was
signed at the time of his death) put the entire
project on hold.
The
following is Jane Schuldiner's statement regarding
Hammerheart Records' plans to release the
incomplete recordings without the family's
consent:
"Hello
fans/friends, I have read of plans to release,
unauthorized, Chuck's raw music on CD. In
response to that news let me say that any
demo of Chuck's released by Karmageddon will
be put on EmptyWords (www.emptywords.org)
by the Schuldiner family to download for free."

DEATH
Tribute Album Update: CHIMAIRA Added, Web
Site Launched
Former TESTAMENT/DEATH guitarist James Murphy
has issued the following update regarding
his upcoming DEATH tribute project, "Within
The Mind - In Homage To The Musical Legacy
Of Chuck Schuldiner", tentatively due
in June through Holland's Mascot Records:
"This
past Saturday, February 28th, the first recording
session for the 'Within The Mind' project
was completed at ARS studios in Orlando, FL.
We recorded the drum tracks for 4 middle-era
DEATH tracks with former DEATH, CONTROL DENIED,
and current ICED EARTH drummer Richard Christy.
The session went extremely well and we are
all very happy with the results. This session
has set a very high standard for the rest
of the project and I won't rest until the
rest of the project sessions meet or exceed
the bar set this past Saturday by Richard
and the killer staff at ARS.
"I
also want to announce the launch of the official
site for the 'Within The Mind' project:
www.deathtribute.com. Here you will soon
be able to find contributing artist profiles,
starting with Richard Christy, as well as
news, and short QuickTime video clips and
still photos from the project's recording
sessions. At the moment there is only a banner
up on the site and the first new content will
start to go up with the next couple days.
"More
great news: the members of the Roadrunner
Records band CHIMAIRA have contacted me to
express their love of Chuck's music and to
ask to be a part of the project, so I am happy
to announce their addition to the line-up.
In keeping with the format of the rest of
the tribute they will not be performing as
band unto themselves. Vocalist Mark Hunter
will contribute vocals to a track or tracks
performed by other contributors while the
rest of the band, which now includes recently
recruited SOILWORK drummer Richard Evansand,
will perform a track on which the vocals will
be handled by another guest. To quote Mark,
'I wouldn't be a vocalist right now if it
weren't for Chuck's music.' "
As
previously reported, the project, which was
conceived by CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron
Miller as a means to help Murphy raise money
for his medical bills (Murphy is currently
receiving treatment for a massive brain tumor
with which he was diagnosed in August 2001),
is expected to feature a number of special
guest appearances, including those by Miller,
Murphy, Christy, Matt Thompson (KING DIAMOND),
Matt DiFabio (PISSING RAZORS, SINGLE BULLET
THEORY), Dave Culross (MALEVOLENT CREATION,
SUFFOCATION), Luc Lemay (GORGUTS), Patrick
Mameli (ex-PESTILENCE), Jean-Francois Dagenais
(KATAKLYSM), Mikael Thomson (SLIPKNOT), Paul
Gray (SLIPKNOT), Brett Hoffmann (ex-MALEVOLENT
CREATION), Ross Dolan (IMMOLATION), Mike Chlasciak
(PAINMUSEUM, ex-HALFORD), and Terry Butler
(SIX FEET UNDER, ex-DEATH, MASSACRE). Other
musicians that are interested in participating
(if their touring and/or recording schedules
allow) include Peter Tägtgren (HYPOCRISY,
PAIN), Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT), Eric Peterson
(TESTAMENT, DRAGONLORD), Andy LaRocque (KING
DIAMOND), and Ryan and Chad of MUDVAYNE.

JAMES
MURPHY Discusses Upcoming DEATH Tribute CD
Former
DEATH/TESTAMENT/OBITUARY guitarist James Murphy
has provided BLABBERMOUTH.NET with the following
exclusive update on his current activities:
"The
DEATH tribute project I am working on organizing
and will soon begin recording is officially
titled: 'Within The Mind - An Homage To The
Musical Legacy Of Chuck Schuldiner'. I will
begin pre-production rehearsals with primary
drummer Dave Culross [MALEVOLENT CREATION,
ex-SUFFOCATION] some time in the next couple
weeks but will spend time fleshing out the
final tracklist and deciding who will do what
with Deron Miller [CKY] for a few days immediately
prior to the rehearsals.
"So
far there are quite a few confirmed guests.
Those include: me, Deron Miller, Dave Culross,
Mikael Thomson [SLIPKNOT], Paul Gray [SLIPKNOT],
Brett Hoffmann [ex-MALEVOLENT CREATION], Ross
Dolan [IMMOLATION], Mike Chlasciak [PAINMUSEUM,
ex-HALFORD], and Terry Butler [SIX FEET UNDER,
ex-DEATH, MASSACRE].
"There
are also quite a few others who want to participate,
if their touring and/or recording schedules
allow. Those include: Peter Tägtgren
[HYPOCRISY, PAIN], Chuck Billy [TESTAMENT],
Eric Peterson [TESTAMENT, DRAGONLORD], Luc
Lemay [GORGUTS], Andy LaRocque [KING DIAMOND],
Richard Christy [ICED EARTH, ex-DEATH, CONTROL
DENIED], Ryan and Chad of MUDVAYNE, Patrick
Mameli [ex-PESTILENCE], Jean-Francois Degenais
[KATAKLYSM], and a number of others, so expect
the confirmed roster to grow.
"The
track selection will span DEATH's career from
'Scream Bloody Gore' to 'Symbolic', the thought
being that the 'Sound of Perseverance' songs
are too recent to consider for a tribute CD.
"The
label that is backing the project is Holland's
Mascot Records. A number of studios are being
considered for the basic tracks but no final
decision has been made at this point. The
majority of the overdubs from all the guests
will be recorded by myself at various studios
and remote locations via a powerful mobile
recording system. I will carry this system
around with me to a few different locations
in both the U.S. and Europe, in order to most
cost effectively gather the performances of
all the contributors. The album will then
be mixed, by myself and, if everything works
to plan, at least one other 'name' producer
of note.
"This
project was conceived by Deron Miller as a
means to help me raise money for my medical
bills and has the blessing of the Schuldiner
family.
"If
all goes well, I intend to get started with
pre-production and final writing sessions
for the second DISINCARNATE CD, which is still
untitled at this point, as soon as the 'Within
The Mind' project wraps."

GUITAR
WORLD's 100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists
Of All Time
The
March 2004 issue of Guitar World magazine
includes a list of the 100 greatest heavy
metal guitarists as selected by the magazine's
staff. "This is not a list that ranks
who can play the fastest or with the most
taste, feeling or technique (although many
players on our list have all of those arrows
in their quiver)," the editors stress
in the accompanying introduction. "It
is, rather, a tribute to the great men who
shit iron and piss stainless steel razor blades,
and do it every time they plug into an amplifier."
