Can't believe this hasn't been touched in 10 months, shame on you SSO

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Leprosy is my favorite. That album still gives me riff inspirations from start to finish.

Back in high school, there were a few kids that were into metal, but for the most part death metal was entirely ignored. A few guitarists were asked to play during an assembly, and they mostly played country stuff (one kid played Drifting, which was cool as .....) The song I chose to play was Voice of the Soul.

It was really funny because afterwards a few kids asked me the name of the band and the album (not knowing it was death metal), and I gave it to them. They obviously listened to it because the following Monday, several rumors were already in circulation concerning my perceived psychopathology.

Individual Thought Patterns or Symbolic are my favorites. I actually just got a Stealth 7 string seeing its the closest I can get to Chuck's guitar in a 7.

Random add-on but I have a former member of Death guesting on my bands upcoming EP.. Dear god the solo is sickkkk

 

[Thorerges]

I love Death. The Sound of Perseverence was a huge album for me, also influenced Necrophagist and Obscura - two of my favorite bands. So Death is a huge band, shame they don't get much recognition outside the DM scene.

Obscura - The Flesh and the Power it holds (2012) - YouTube

Death is the shizz, found out about them when i had gotten my first guitar, a bc rich beast and went on to the website. And they had a video showing of his tribute Stealth model and had a video of them playing Crystal Mountain live. After that I went out and bought Symbolic. I don't really play guitar anymore but I still know how to play Crystal Mountain completely, though very sloppy haha.

Amazing musical mastermind
Amazing band in all its incarnations
Such a travesty is the loss of such a gifted human being.
Whenever I want to listen to Death, I always bring 4 or 5 albums in the car as I can never decide on just one to bring.

Any chance we can get a poll going to see what ppl's favourite album are?

 

[gunch]

Human > ITP = SoP > Rest

 

[Chuck]

Any chance we can get a poll going to see what ppl's favourite album are?

Great idea! Done!

 

[JoshuaVonFlash]

The Sound of Perseverance, just for Crystal Mountain alone.

 

[Gothic Headhunter]

The Sound of Perseverance, just for Crystal Mountain alone.

Wrong album there, bud.

I haven't heard all of Human or ITP yet, but right now I'd say Symbolic wins with SH coming in at a very, very, very close second.

 

[JoshuaVonFlash]

Oh crap your right. Well then Symbolic for Crystal Mountain and Perennial Quest.

 

[SoItGoesRVA]

I'll go with Human. That album was where Chuck took it to a new level.

 

[Herrick]

Also, this is a trifling point, and has nothing to do with me liking or not liking Death, but I've never considered them a death metal band. However much they contributed to the blueprint of what became death metal, to me they were always a thrash band. Kind of like Slayer: helped create death metal without necessarily being a death metal band themselves. Obviously some of you will disagree with that.

I love Death but I don't really consider their later material to be Death Metal.

But yeah I agree with all the other mangs here who say Schuldiner was a great song writer. Every Death album is either good or great. The riffs are very memorable.

My favorite album is Leprosy but I listen to Spiritual Healing the most these days.

 

[UltraParanoia]

My favorite Death Metal band of all time, 1 of my favorite overall Metal bands of all time!! Chuck is major influence on my playing & writing.

Symbolic takes the title for me, but Human is very very close.

They get me pumped just thinking about it.

 

[StevenC]

Chuck really pushed metal music forward. Human, ITP and SoP are some of the best metal albums ever.

 

[7stg]

I listened to all the death albums through a few months ago and they make pretty major advances each album. I liked their later releases.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

In case anyone hasn't seen this before from 88.
