Fun fact: Chuck said this song is about Judas Priest's Stained Class trial. Chuck was very upset about how parents of dead kids made their "pathetic attempt to justify the ending of their lives" by suing Priest for "inserting suicidal messages" onto Better by You, Better than Me song and laying their guilty and pain onto them, yet they deny their impact on lives' end (which is neglicient raising and ignorance). Also he was sad that this resonance trial promoted stupid "metal is Satan music" stereotypes (everlasting fear).
sup demonic sweaters. have you heard Cynic? Sean Reinert as well as Pat Masvidal (the guitarist beside Chuck) formed that band after they left Death. Florida had some amazing musicians back in the day.
I got old memories of Death. Around the release of 'Human", me and a couple friends submitted the lyrics of this song to our teacher (we're belgians). She translated it for us said something like 'These are nice lyrics about understanding, I bet the music must be nice and sweet..." which amused us to no end, as we were 15 years old metalheads. But it still got me thinking more deeply about the lyrics and realize that even if a song could sound mean and brutal, the meaning could be deep and meaningful, and inspire people to be good and respectful of others. RIP, Chuck. Your music did make me a better person, I think.
@@user-pdogiP78V I don't think we ever got a chance to make her listen to it. Gotta remember that was something like the early nineties, we didn't have smartphones or even the internet. Would have needed to bring her a walkman or something.
I remember we had a project in my 1st year High School English class, to bring a song in and have the class listen to it, and to go over the lyrics and the meaning. Being the metal head I was, I wanted to use something heavy. I ended up using Cemetery Gates, a song about losing a loved one and learning to cope with it. Teacher didn't like the music much, but I think she appreciated the message.
Imagine yourself in the early 90's being a metal head. The biggest bands at the time were the big four and then you see this video at the end of an episode of headbangers ball. this was my metal speedball hit and I never came down

Chuck`s Death is closest to perfection possible, its power, energy, sound, amazing harmonies, feeling and complete mastery of guitar playing skilfulness its just another level.and by my opinion thera are very rare bands that comes even close to that level !

Hmm beg to differ If you're really into death metal...'Human' was when they were at their best personally. 'Symbolic' wasn't a death metal record although labelled as one. It was more thrash. Them everything afterward was not good at all. They're ok records just not death metal .
@Vengeance * Nope. When symbolic was released Death Metal as a genre was defo beginning to wane. You say Chuck didn't like to categorise? Well unfortunately an album still needs to be labelled and moreso in this year. All kinds of Nu metal (which is awful) was being born so bands had to change. Symbolic no matter what you or anyone else says (although with some good songs) sounded different to Human in many ways. I honestly don't think it's a Death Metal record- it's thrash. And actually the songs sound much much older than Human. Human to this day sounds fresh. Symbolic on the other hand could have been released in the 80s you'd never know.
@Vengeance * I don't get it. Yes stop going on about it. I made a comment which focused on the genre side of things. As most extreme metal fans can be the toughest critics. I know as I have been a metal fan 30 years. You're going off on some whimsical God like player and band etc whereby I'm focusing on the genre side of things. It's not a death metal record.

Read those gods damned lyrics. Consider the implications of their meaning in this age of COVID-19. So many have stood on the edge of the pit. They saw the corpses of their families, friends, and neighbors burning at the bottom. So many of those piles of ash had unshakeable faith in their deity of choice, rock solid conviction their freedom of choice was sacrosanct, convinced that said deity of their choice would bear them aloft to glory, and happily cast themselves into the air over the flames, and fell to ruin. So many looked upon the flames and decided those burning were fools, not for leaping in faith, but for having faith too weak to protect them, then they admired their own faith, faith like _iron,_ and cast themselves into the air over the pit, and fell. So many had fallen in. So many had been pulled in by regretful jumpers. So many were shoved in by the hateful. So many stand now at the mouth of the pit. And, hatefully, the comprehesion _still_ fucking lacks.

Anybody who doesn't like Death or respect them should have their head checked their album Scream Bloody Gore was labeled the first pure Death Metal album... These guys molded a genre for so many bands to make their way
MelodicDeathMetalFan666 MelodicDeathMetalFan666 I don't know how to explain it but they have an atmospheric sound to them and pulls you in it's the 80's sound to it...
ThrashMetalManiac it was not pure Death Metal it was very Thrash elemented Death and Possessed came out the same year and Chuck from Death was with other bands and put out demos in death before 7 churches was released possessed coined the term death metal but Death defined Death Metal
ThrashMetalManiac Possessed was like Venom. They came up with the genre name, but you had heavy hitters like Death and Bathory come along and clean it up.
One of the many great things about Death is that they have such diversity between their albums. You go for the straight up death metal in their first three albums. Then, their next three take you on a journey of progressive death metal. The Sound Of Perseverance is just a journey on it's own. It's so different from the others. It's just a monster of technicality and a mind bending experience to take from beginning to end. They have one of the best discographies in metal history period.
That shot at 0:14 of Chuck playing the Gibson SG has always been one of my favorite clips of him playing guitar, ever. Happy Birthday, Chuck. May your music forever live on.
I just finished watching the movie/documentary titled, "Death by Metal". It's all about Chuck Schuldiner and the history of the band, DEATH. It takes you from Chuck's band, MANTAS to CONTROL DENIED. Highly recommended for all the DEATH fans out there.
The first time I seen them live "Scream Bloody Gore" tour there was so few people at the show all of us were on the stage and they played for us live. It was like a personal jam for friends. I know its hard to believe but a 100% true story. Nobody heard of them at that point. I went to the show cause of their flyer I seen on wall of the club a week prier during another show. Death was so fucking incredible and so nice and down to earth and so fucking loud omg. they gave all of us their Scream Bloody Gore Cd's. I still have it to this day. The next time they came was the "Leprosy" tour and that place was fucking jammed packed as you can get it and had the biggest pit I've ever seen in such a club. I MISS THOSE DAYS. Miss my youth :( Rest In Peace Chuck Thank you so much.
Man, you're so full of shit! So, on one hand Death were these guys no one has ever heard of, but still they had their first album printed on CDs. In 1987. Do you even know that the band were unable to play the ONE VINYL they got from the record company because it was poorly packaged and was deteriorated during shipment? So the band get a lousy vinyl to share between the four of them, but you and the other people at the venues get CDs. The internet is a dark place populated with sick fucks who make stories up just to somehow paint themselves as interesting in the eyes of strangers that actually couldn't care less.
bro im so jealous.i was born in 89 and started listening to death metal when i was six.so by the time i was old enough to stat sneaking out to go to concerts,chuck was gone already =/
Chuck became more than a musician in my book. He's my fucking hero. His lyrics and musicianship wasn't meant for easy listening. It's so god damn technical and well orchestrated. I'll bet Chuck would be pretty angry to hear the shit music of today. I'm dead serious... his music means that much to me. R.I.P. Chuck.
I bet Chuck honestly wouldn't care about the type of music today. He was always a free-spirited person about all music when he was alive, believed everybody should listen to what they want *without judgement* (hehe, that's a Death song right there)
Leo Uwazuruonye Nope. But I don't agree with that idiot either. Beyond Creation is fucking badass, and Obscura loves Death so schuldiner wouldn't be disappointed at all. Back in the day only Cynic and Death were around when talking about good bands.
A Real example of jazz/prog death metal.this is beauty,meaningful,EPIC,timeless.without doubt greatest death metal band ever and one of the greatest band ever existed.
Panu Salin I cant say I didn’t like them because I appreciate what it started, but certainly not my favorite 2 either. I listen to everything from spiritual healing and on with the occasions SBG and Leprosy
Chuck was a genius. It had the first glance appearance of just another run of the mill 80s metal band, even the name was slightly dumb, but when press play it unfolds into these mind bending fast and complex song structures that have lyrics that have social awareness and thought. Metal at that time was viewed with stigma that it's listeners were stupid people, and Chuck broke that barrier and he never got the credit he deserved

I have sat here and listened to this song about 6 times straight. I can't fathom the hours of work it takes to reach this level of musicianship. Simply amazing. Death's best lineup. RIP Sean and Chuck.
This song gets more relevant as time passes , Chuck and his band Death were unmistakably important for metal music and even music in general. Rest easy , Chuck. We still hold you very close to our hearts !
This was the first indication I ever got that heaviness could coexist with progressive and melodic tendencies, and Chuck brought it together as only he could. RIP, great maestro!
Yeah, I think thats why I like it, it has prog elements and great melodies along with brutality and just overall great playing. Only heard two songs of theirs but I like what I hear so far. Death metal for the most part has been a put off for me, but I like this band....they are different. Opeth is ok too
Finally, a song by a true artist that in fact arguably started the underground death metal genre almost 40 years ago and that actually today gets 7 million+ views on TH-cam - of which EVERY single one is fully deserved !
Possessed just coined the term death metal. Stylistically, they were a thrash band from the San Francisco bay area. But the death metal genre is straight up Florida.
Death Metal is about effort. Effort into growing out your hair, effort into becoming a beast at your own instrument, creating a piece of art without catchy melodies or danceable grooves, and not seeking validation but acknowledging without a frown if your talent goes overlooked. It's about pride and honour.
If I would have to rate a "perfect" death metal song it would be this one. The brutal perfection of Sean Reinert, the guitar solos, the slight disharmonic sounds in between to spice things up, the unusual blues intro, the outro with the drumming breaks combined with Hi Hats sounds in them - this song is perfect! 😄
few bands give you the will of smashing everything surround you, death is one of those bands, for me Death, Obituary and Carcas are the best in death metal
Got this on cassette when it came here(canada). had been into extreme/Death metal for years at that point. These were unbelievable years for death metal with the emergence of really good bands such as Morbid Angel, Entombed, Obituary and Deicide plus other Bolt Thrower and Suffocation. Human, first listen and was blown away. Such well constructed songs combined with incredible musicians. this particular album has no bad songs, none! Probably, what surprised me the most was, honestly, the drumming by Sean Reinhart. Insane. He is just incredible sounding. At te time I liked Steve Asheim despite being more basic he had such a powerful drive through his double bass that is unrelenting and Morbid's drummer was really quite technical and complex while reinhart combined these 2. He isn't a one speed double bass either, he mixes it up and many fall into the one speed that gets boring after awhile. The detail and little bits he throws in with cymbals keeps it always fresh
Hello !!! i am the Electric Ace. I play rock and roll. I first met chuck@ "the treehouse" back in 1987-88 and from there we became brothers (our pact with one another is : even after death, go before eternity) in E,A,D,G,B,E... His army and he and used to come up to Pittsburgh ,Pa.(where I was going to college back in 1992-96) and do the metropol quite a bit as unto this day he has a major fanbase and will never be forgotten by the steel commune ! Man, he was just a good soul period as he helped me in more ways i could ever count !!! He introduced me to the bands: Deicide, Iced Earth, The Spooky Kids, Sadus, David Vincent of Morbid Angel, and he was a secret lover of polka, be-bop, improvisational jazz, and classical / baroque guitar forms. After Andy "L" and Joey Dee took him in and he went to euorope, by the time he came back stateside he was immortalized before this level of the metal was accepted as a serious ass art form. We got separated for a while (due to his heavy touring and world-wide acclaim), but were re-united through a mutual freind. I was Then turned onto Mr. eric Grief, the band "Wicked Ways" and munkie who is now holding down in the band called "Korn"... everyone out there, Chuck was the "go to artist" as he was an inspiration2 every opened minded one in this game (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!!) and let us not forget what he always said about human actions : "When all else fails; KEEP ON ROCKIN' !!!"... As far as my words for "Lucky Chucky"; I will see you and Jimi again when the time is right ... R.I.P. with love2 you and the family 4ever ... meinchow ...
la perfección llevada a su mas grande esplendor, que pena que te hayas ido tan pronto Chuck me hubiera gustado haber escuchado que mas hubiera hecho si siguiera vivo, pero lo que dejo es arte puro. Saludos desde Chile.
i remember finding death on my dads ipod, i was already into metal, but i really only listened to pantera and megadeth and metallica and slayer, this song came on the soft part threw me off, but then it got metal, and for a month all i would listen to was death, i became a huge fan in that month, and it really opened my eyes and inspired me to go out and listen to a lot more, now all i listen to is metal and death got me into a lot of other bands i would have never even heard of. I havent listened to death in a while but its always in me that death got me into others. RIP Chuck
The best album of Progressive Death Metal. The best album of Death Metal. The best band of Death Metal. The best musicians in a band. Sean Reinert is a god on drums, Paul Masvidal is awesome on guitars, Steve DiGiorgio is an incredible bass player and Chuck is far ahead of everyone.
Today is two decades, they have passed but the musical legacy remains permanent. Thank you for your musical contribution, you are unforgettable, great Chuck!

Weaknesses that lie within
Lies
[Verse 2]
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part
In the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
Lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
[Chorus]
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment
[Verse 3]
Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
Lies
[Verse 4]
So easy to blame the
Everlasting guilt on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of life
Lies
[Pre-Chorus]
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your help in the ending of a life
[Chorus]
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

Extraordinary drumming in this part also..
I agree with you
And soooo fun to play!
The drums man...holy fuck
Anybody who doesn't like Death or respect them should have their head checked their album Scream Bloody Gore was labeled the first pure Death Metal album... These guys molded a genre for so many bands to make their way
MelodicDeathMetalFan666 MelodicDeathMetalFan666 I don't know how to explain it but they have an atmospheric sound to them and pulls you in it's the 80's sound to it...
I thought 7 Churches by Possessed was the first pure death metal album :|
ThrashMetalManiac it was not pure Death Metal it was very Thrash elemented Death and Possessed came out the same year and Chuck from Death was with other bands and put out demos in death before 7 churches was released possessed coined the term death metal but Death defined Death Metal
ThrashMetalManiac Possessed was like Venom. They came up with the genre name, but you had heavy hitters like Death and Bathory come along and clean it up.
Metal Rules كلامك دهب👌
I can "air drum" every cymbal , drum roll, kick and snare hit by heart from this album beginning to end. What a beast of a drummer Sean Reinert is.
Ever tried picking up an actual drum set? We metal heads need you
@@MariaCerda-j4r I’m convinced drummers don’t exist unless they are alr in a band 🤷♂️🤷♂️
One of the many great things about Death is that they have such diversity between their albums. You go for the straight up death metal in their first three albums. Then, their next three take you on a journey of progressive death metal. The Sound Of Perseverance is just a journey on it's own. It's so different from the others. It's just a monster of technicality and a mind bending experience to take from beginning to end. They have one of the best discographies in metal history period.
That shot at 0:14 of Chuck playing the Gibson SG has always been one of my favorite clips of him playing guitar, ever. Happy Birthday, Chuck. May your music forever live on.
Happy 49th Birthday Chuck!!!
I just finished watching the movie/documentary titled, "Death by Metal". It's all about Chuck Schuldiner and the history of the band, DEATH. It takes you from Chuck's band, MANTAS to CONTROL DENIED. Highly recommended for all the DEATH fans out there.

One of my favourite solos. And the riff after it..pure epicness
The first time I seen them live "Scream Bloody Gore" tour there was so few people at the show all of us were on the stage and they played for us live. It was like a personal jam for friends. I know its hard to believe but a 100% true story. Nobody heard of them at that point. I went to the show cause of their flyer I seen on wall of the club a week prier during another show. Death was so fucking incredible and so nice and down to earth and so fucking loud omg. they gave all of us their Scream Bloody Gore Cd's. I still have it to this day. The next time they came was the "Leprosy" tour and that place was fucking jammed packed as you can get it and had the biggest pit I've ever seen in such a club. I MISS THOSE DAYS. Miss my youth :( Rest In Peace Chuck Thank you so much.
Is the tour you were at the one with Chris reifert and John hand?
Man, you're so full of shit! So, on one hand Death were these guys no one has ever heard of, but still they had their first album printed on CDs. In 1987. Do you even know that the band were unable to play the ONE VINYL they got from the record company because it was poorly packaged and was deteriorated during shipment? So the band get a lousy vinyl to share between the four of them, but you and the other people at the venues get CDs. The internet is a dark place populated with sick fucks who make stories up just to somehow paint themselves as interesting in the eyes of strangers that actually couldn't care less.
@@whereisvanuatu you destroyed him haha.
bro im so jealous.i was born in 89 and started listening to death metal when i was six.so by the time i was old enough to stat sneaking out to go to concerts,chuck was gone already =/

Nothing To See
Metal has many more branches....Industrial, Doom, Symphonic, Power, Progressive...have I missed any?
RIP sean
RIP chuck
One of my favorite line ups :(
Chuck became more than a musician in my book. He's my fucking hero. His lyrics and musicianship wasn't meant for easy listening. It's so god damn technical and well orchestrated. I'll bet Chuck would be pretty angry to hear the shit music of today. I'm dead serious... his music means that much to me. R.I.P. Chuck.
I bet Chuck honestly wouldn't care about the type of music today. He was always a free-spirited person about all music when he was alive, believed everybody should listen to what they want *without judgement* (hehe, that's a Death song right there)
Leo Uwazuruonye
Nope. But I don't agree with that idiot either. Beyond Creation is fucking badass, and Obscura loves Death so schuldiner wouldn't be disappointed at all.
Back in the day only Cynic and Death were around when talking about good bands.
I wish he was the rule, not the exception :(
He wouldn't care. He was pretty chill. He liked Blondie.
Gatitasecsii
There are lots of other great death metal bands today. But yeah obscura and beyond creation are by far the best of today.
A Real example of jazz/prog death metal.this is beauty,meaningful,EPIC,timeless.without doubt greatest death metal band ever and one of the greatest band ever existed.
Jazz?
+Seb Montez like who?
+Pat Sucks yes with jazzy influence
+BLoooDYSaBBaTH where?
the intro is jazz fusion 100%
Death is the only death metal band that can sound brutal even without blast beats.
Obituary & Morgoth too
@@fahrezirafid8 cannibal corpse also
@@costinrusu7914 cannibal corpse has tons of blasting
Autopsy-Mental funeral..The definition of death metal genre..
@@2Times22 autopsy is mostly doom metal, wouldn't say death metal
Poder, Velocidad, Técnica, inteligencia son virtudes que destacan de Chuck. RIP :(
Así es mi estimado.
F
Chuck vocals are fucking brutal!
I thought that was my comment for a sec lol
Jorge Dibildox I like his vocals but I wish he would have kept his voice a little lower like in scream bloody gore.
Jorge Dibildox and his playing
Elias Walston Palacios everyone has preference, I prefer his vocals on symbolic and sop myself
Panu Salin I cant say I didn’t like them because I appreciate what it started, but certainly not my favorite 2 either. I listen to everything from spiritual healing and on with the occasions SBG and Leprosy
I love how this sounds modern and classic at the same time.
Chuck was a genius. It had the first glance appearance of just another run of the mill 80s metal band, even the name was slightly dumb, but when press play it unfolds into these mind bending fast and complex song structures that have lyrics that have social awareness and thought. Metal at that time was viewed with stigma that it's listeners were stupid people, and Chuck broke that barrier and he never got the credit he deserved
And people criticize ME for liking old-school metal more?!! LOOK AT THIS SHIT! There will never be metal made as good as this.
lol, music is not a contest, what is best differs depending on ones mood at the moment.
@@anderskarlsson5145
And person listening to the music....
Dethklok is pretty cool
@@Dhat-im1cb i agree with you
Check Beyond Creation
The best metal band from Florida EVER!!
Well, can't forget cannibal corpse or obituary, lol.
Edgar Allan Poe aren't cannibal from New York?
Ivan Lunev

It says something about them being from Tampa as well

Every band but mine. How many posers do I need to sacrifice to have him in MINE?
bob joe but Death And Sadus are still his Best bands
I have sat here and listened to this song about 6 times straight. I can't fathom the hours of work it takes to reach this level of musicianship. Simply amazing. Death's best lineup. RIP Sean and Chuck.
Chuck was so far ahead of everyone in death/tech metal whatever you want to call it. Without this ICON today we maybe LACKING SO MUCH COMPREHENSION
Fuck how good it is to be a metalhead!!This is what it's all about!!Death will always be the best!!RIP metal brother Chuck...Legend!\m/!
2:17 - 2:35 Oh! My poor neck!!!
right.
best part
fact
Живи брат!
Mine tooo :(
This song gets more relevant as time passes , Chuck and his band Death were unmistakably important for metal music and even music in general. Rest easy , Chuck. We still hold you very close to our hearts !
Yep no Necrophagist, Obscura or Beyond Creation without Deaths crucial influence
15 years today. We miss you Chuck.
This was the first indication I ever got that heaviness could coexist with progressive and melodic tendencies, and Chuck brought it together as only he could. RIP, great maestro!
Yeah, I think thats why I like it, it has prog elements and great melodies along with brutality and just overall great playing. Only heard two songs of theirs but I like what I hear so far. Death metal for the most part has been a put off for me, but I like this band....they are different. Opeth is ok too
It's been 20 years since one of the greatest losses in music history, RIP Chuck
Finally, a song by a true artist that in fact arguably started the underground death metal genre almost 40 years ago and that actually today gets 7 million+ views on TH-cam - of which EVERY single one is fully deserved !
Possessed made it before.
Possessed just coined the term death metal. Stylistically, they were a thrash band from the San Francisco bay area. But the death metal genre is straight up Florida.
Death Metal is about effort. Effort into growing out your hair, effort into becoming a beast at your own instrument, creating a piece of art without catchy melodies or danceable grooves, and not seeking validation but acknowledging without a frown if your talent goes overlooked. It's about pride and honour.
mysteriousDSF you get it, that’s all metal has been about 🤘🏻
Clarke Tracey well groove metal has a lot of grooves and it's one of the purest forms of metal
What are you talkin about? This song is pretty danceable!
excuse me, but i think death metal is about beautiful melodies and interesting rhythm
@@mysteriousDSF well no, I try to stay gentle and kind while beeing absolutely right ;-)
I dont like death metal but I like this....maybe its growing on me?
Also Check out Chuck's work as Control Denied, a Death Metal base music with Power Metal vocals.
Yeah Death-Base would be more accurate
Probably since hes one of the few death metal vocalists you can understand the first time you hear the song
It will, that is what happened to me. After listening to death, i got used to listen to death metal
soakedbearrd is it... growling on you?
Real artists never die...this is masterpiece
If I would have to rate a "perfect" death metal song it would be this one. The brutal perfection of Sean Reinert, the guitar solos, the slight disharmonic sounds in between to spice things up, the unusual blues intro, the outro with the drumming breaks combined with Hi Hats sounds in them - this song is perfect! 😄
12 years today, holy crap... All of us miss you Chuck, thank you for everything!
0:00 - 3:48 I think its the best part
Shit bro definetly
funny
i don't think that 3:45 moment is good part cuz the song ends then
I really liked the part where they played all of this amazing musical intruments and made a masterpiece of a song!!
la mejor banda del death metal, descanse en paz el gran maestro Chuck Schuldiner
Death will always be a treasure to metal (they are one of the few bands tattooed on my body) R.I.P. Chuck & Sean 🖤 thank you for everything
Immortal, Chuck Schuldiner !
Still one of the most impressive and brutal bands ever. Their jazzy sound made them even darker and heavier in my opinion.
There isn't a bad Death song imo. THEY. ARE. AWESOME.💯🤘
Death is in a whole catagory by itself. So badass. I have so many favorite songs.
Too many people are scared to admit this is the best Death Metal album of 1991, Morbid Angel competes with it but Human is just a Masterpiece.
RIP Sean Reinert. Truly a legend.
Death Metal what
He carried this album alone, tbh.
few bands give you the will of smashing everything surround you, death is one of those bands, for me Death, Obituary and Carcas are the best in death metal
agree
and morbid angel, but Death is the gratest one i think
ya,but the last albums of morbid angel are not that great. and i forggot bolt thrower that is an awsome band too
helder lopes
No Nailbomb?
i don´t know nailbomb,but i can check. and by the wai i forggot to mention bolt thrower and morbid angel
Today 20 years, RIP Chuck. We never forgeth you, bro.
Rest in peace, Sean. Your work on this album instantly changed my life and expectations of what could be possible behind a drum kit.
Got this on cassette when it came here(canada). had been into extreme/Death metal for years at that point. These were unbelievable years for death metal with the emergence of really good bands such as Morbid Angel, Entombed, Obituary and Deicide plus other Bolt Thrower and Suffocation.
Human, first listen and was blown away. Such well constructed songs combined with incredible musicians. this particular album has no bad songs, none! Probably, what surprised me the most was, honestly, the drumming by Sean Reinhart. Insane.
He is just incredible sounding. At te time I liked Steve Asheim despite being more basic he had such a powerful drive through his double bass that is unrelenting and Morbid's drummer was really quite technical and complex while reinhart combined these 2.
He isn't a one speed double bass either, he mixes it up and many fall into the one speed that gets boring after awhile. The detail and little bits he throws in with cymbals keeps it always fresh
Hello !!! i am the Electric Ace. I play rock and roll. I first met chuck@ "the treehouse" back in 1987-88 and from there we became brothers (our pact with one another is : even after death, go before eternity) in E,A,D,G,B,E... His army and he and used to come up to Pittsburgh ,Pa.(where I was going to college back in 1992-96) and do the metropol quite a bit as unto this day he has a major fanbase and will never be forgotten by the steel commune ! Man, he was just a good soul period as he helped me in more ways i could ever count !!! He introduced me to the bands: Deicide, Iced Earth, The Spooky Kids, Sadus, David Vincent of Morbid Angel, and he was a secret lover of polka, be-bop, improvisational jazz, and classical / baroque guitar forms. After Andy "L" and Joey Dee took him in and he went to euorope, by the time he came back stateside he was immortalized before this level of the metal was accepted as a serious ass art form. We got separated for a while (due to his heavy touring and world-wide acclaim), but were re-united through a mutual freind. I was Then turned onto Mr. eric Grief, the band "Wicked Ways" and munkie who is now holding down in the band called "Korn"... everyone out there, Chuck was the "go to artist" as he was an inspiration2 every opened minded one in this game (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!!) and let us not forget what he always said about human actions : "When all else fails; KEEP ON ROCKIN' !!!"... As far as my words for "Lucky Chucky"; I will see you and Jimi again when the time is right ... R.I.P. with love2 you and the family 4ever ... meinchow ...

My favorite DEATH song. Always with me since teenager. That unforgettable drumming!!!! RIP SEAN REINERT.
In memory of Chuck 2019
Lack of...words. To describe how amazing this song is. Pure death metal brilliance.
Death after 15 year still have BEST lyrics than any other band or style, period
I could play this song on loop and i would never get bored the riff ,the drums , the brutal vocals. Dear god amazing 👏🏻
RIP Sean, a true drumming legend!
Rest in peace Chuck !
la perfección llevada a su mas grande esplendor, que pena que te hayas ido tan pronto Chuck me hubiera gustado haber escuchado que mas hubiera hecho si siguiera vivo, pero lo que dejo es arte puro.
Saludos desde Chile.
Death this band still live im my memory in eternity thank you very much
Same here, this band kicked ass!!! Rip Chuck and Sean!!!!
This song is a fucking masterpiece
R.i.p Sean Reinert and Chuck schuldiner
i remember finding death on my dads ipod, i was already into metal, but i really only listened to pantera and megadeth and metallica and slayer, this song came on the soft part threw me off, but then it got metal, and for a month all i would listen to was death, i became a huge fan in that month, and it really opened my eyes and inspired me to go out and listen to a lot more, now all i listen to is metal and death got me into a lot of other bands i would have never even heard of. I havent listened to death in a while but its always in me that death got me into others. RIP Chuck
Chuck is immortal. Because of his genius music. Music and the power it holds.
The best album of Progressive Death Metal. The best album of Death Metal. The best band of Death Metal. The best musicians in a band. Sean Reinert is a god on drums, Paul Masvidal is awesome on guitars, Steve DiGiorgio is an incredible bass player and Chuck is far ahead of everyone.
Rest in peace Sean!! Thank you for expanding what music will ever be for me!
Som do Caraleo... o trecho de 2:16 até 2:35 é o MELHOR RIFF DE TODO O METAL MUNDIAL, Chuck era foda! Chuck e Death Forever!
Vim aqui pra comentar sobre essa parte tambem, riff foda e uma linha de batera porrada
Today is two decades, they have passed but the musical legacy remains permanent. Thank you for your musical contribution, you are unforgettable, great Chuck!
Чак.покойся с миром! Ты лучший! Спасибо за музыку и твое наследие! Death-metal и Чак едины,ты родоначальник и основатель этого направления!🙏🙏🙏
Верно 👍
The musicianship on this song is unreal ! So under rated
This is my favorite lineup of the band, the whole Human album is so damn good!
When I started to listen death metal I started with this awesome song.That is real death metal with progressive and technical riffs.
I am eternally grateful that I got to see Death on their last tour, before Chuck died.
🤘☹️
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHUCK LEGEND
A definitive song with one of the most musical drummer of the metal realm. Rest in peace Sean Reinert.
This song man. damn it might just be THE best death metal song of all time.
absolute legend on the skins. one who will live forever through his music. THANK YOU Sean. fly free brother!
Still a Criminally Underrated band to this day.
THIS IS THE REAL DEATH METAL.... THANKS CHUCK FOR THIS, WE MISS YOU!!!
Even after all those years - Sean Reinart is one of the best drummers i have ever heard.
La batería de este álbum es bestial!!. R.I.P Sean Reinert.
