Another update - From BLABBERMOUTH:

JAMES MURPHY Discusses Upcoming DEATH Tribute CD - Feb. 2, 2004

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."
 
The Latest... and I have to say that I personally commend all the generous contributers involved - Bravo!

CKY's DERON MILLER Speaks Out On Upcoming DEATH Tribute: 'This Is The Real Deal' - Feb. 6, 2004

CKY guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller is widely credited for conceiving the upcoming DEATH tribute project, "Within The Mind - An Homage To The Musical Legacy Of Chuck Schuldiner", as a means to help guitarist James Murphy (ex-TESTAMENT, DEATH, OBITUARY) raise money for his medical bills (Murphy is currently receiving treatment for a massive brain tumor with which he was diagnosed in August 2001).

The project, which has the blessing of the family of late DEATH mastermind Chuck Schuldiner (who passed away in December 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor), is expected to feature a number of special guest appearances, including those by Miller, Murphy, Dave Culross (MALEVOLENT CREATION, ex-SUFFOCATION), 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), Luc Lemay (GORGUTS), Andy LaRocque (KING DIAMOND), Richard Christy (ICED EARTH, ex-DEATH, CONTROL DENIED), Rya and Chad of MUDVAYNE, Patrick Mameli (ex-PESTILENCE), and Jean-Francois Degenais (KATAKLYSM).

According to Murphy, "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." A June release through Holland's Mascot Records is expected.

Speaking exclusively to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Miller explained his reasons for launching the project: "I never got to meet Chuck Schuldiner," Deron said. "He never knew I existed, and that will bother me for the rest of my life because I was one of his biggest fans and supporters. [DEATH's] 'Spiritual Healing' changed my life forever when it came out in early 1990. It was way ahead of its time...and still is...and from there I went on to learn every note, word, and solo on every DEATH record by heart. After living through the horror of Chuck's last days and hearing of the Schuldiners' financial misfortune...topped with James Murphy's illness and financial struggle, a tribute to Chuck and the music of DEATH became an imperative no-brainer. Rest assured: this project will be nothing less than top-notch, and of course...as usual, naysayers will be proven wrong. This is the real deal."
 
This project is wonderful...

My friends and I wanted to do a tribute show on the outdoor stage in my hometown but when the city council heard the music... they shut us down... our setlist was great! I was on vocal duties only

-Scavenger of Human Sorrow
-Defensive Personalities
-Crystal Mountain
-Denial of Live
-Symbolic
-Evil Dead
-Expect the Unexpected
-Leprosy
-Living Monstrosity
-Suicide Machine
-Zombie Ritual
-Painkiller
-Lack of Comprehension
-Voice of the Soul
-Bite the Pain
-The Philosopher
-Spirit Crusher
-Overractive Imagination

And we would have ended with...
-The fragile art of existance...

Almost 3 hours :) ....but we were replaced by a shitty local rap band the consisted of 25 members all rapping about how poor their roots are... (yeah right... those fuckers are the local drug dealers and I kid you not!)
 
I can't wait for that record to get recorded so I can buy it ! Death, and Chuck Schuldiner DESERVE this awesome tribute, he has been one of my guitar idols since I first picked up a guitar.
