For fans of DEATH, got a question about..........

[NaturonDemonto]

Those re-mastered digipak' Century Media did, SBG through ITP I think.

Are they actually good, or did they half ass them just to get tons of money, like RoadRunner did with 'SYMBOLIC', I need to know because I really want Human and ITP, because, well, those are my favorite DEATH albums, and I want to know if they are actually improved or just worse. I'm sure some of you have heard them, probably from downloading it somewhere, but who cares about that, I just want to know. I will probably go ahead and pick up the other three pure DM releases by them, but Bill Andrews retarted drumming on LEPROSY and Spiritual Healing really pisses me off.

I got about $250 on me to spend, and I REALLY, REALLY want these, just don't wanna waste my money and be dissapointed in the 're-mastering' job. KTHXBAI

I cannot help you in this case. But I wanna welcome you. Great Death fan here, as well

I really wonder, what the hell is happened to the unreleased "Control Denied" tracks. Maybe someone knows it?

 

[_Brutalism_]

Few? Really?

In my country, a very small one at that, with an even smaller metal scene, almost all metalheads pay respect to Death and love Chuck as an idol.

I don't know how it is in other countries though, but looking at youtube videos, the comments only show that the man and his bands, particularly Death, are still much loved today.

What makes you say that Death fans are few Metal Overload?

I must agree that the more recent Deathcore craze served to obscure legends like Chuck, but I have never heard that Death fans are few.

 

[STINNETT]

I wouldn't count on them sounding any better. Nothing wrong with the originals in my opinion, just not as loud as modern releases. That's a plus in my book.
I don't even want to hear them with the levels pushed up. Screw that.

Yeah, well definitely not the number DEATH deserves, here people are forgetting about it, new kids even don´t know DEATH or view the band as different old genre for old pals, just a few only really.

Well, DEATH have sold 1.5 million records to date, before the soundscan era (mostly in the U.S.), so I am sure that have probably sold a few million. Here in the U.S. I'd say that they are the most popular death metal band along with Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, and probably Obituary. I swear to god though. If I see one more scene kid wearing a SBG shirt or one of the 'old school' death t-shirts with the inverted cross, I am going to rip their god damn heads off. Oh, and thanks for the replies. I have read some reviews about them, and they come with a lot of extra contents as well, so that's pretty cool. Some people say the re-masters improve them a lot, esp in the drums category!, so I am gonig to go ahead and pick these up.

Chuck's Family Announces Fan Contest

Let me introduce myself, I am Beth Schuldiner, sister to Chuck Schuldiner. In keeping with Chuck’s planned promotion for his latest album at the time, Father of Rock Corporation will be announcing the fan contest that Chuck had been putting together prior to his illness and tragic death, via international press releases, beginning May 25, 2009.

The top, 1st Place Prize will be Chuck Schuldiner’s personal guitar, a BC Rich custom handmade Mockingbird. The 2nd Place Prize will be the Death stage backdrop used by Chuck/Death while touring internationally, including concerts in the great country of Mexico. The 3rd Place Prize will be a replica of his Stealth guitar, made by BC Rich/Hanser music group, an exact replica of the same guitar Chuck played on stage. The 4th Place Prize, but certainly not least, will be a set of guitar pick-ups by Dimarzio Pick-Ups/USA, the pick-ups exclusively used by Chuck while both touring and in the recording studio.

From May 25th on contestants will be able to enter on-line at the website chuck-schuldiner.webs.com, web design by Fernando Medina of Gudtalajra, Mexico. The entry fee is $25.00 USD. The contestants must also submit an essay entitled “What Chuck’s Music Meant to Me” along with the fee, at the time of entry. The contestant will beissued a number. The winning numbers will be drawn and the winning contestants will be announced on August 20, 2009 on EmptyWords.org, the only official Chuck Schuldiner/Death website, created and operated by Kees & Yvonne, both of whom are considered to be members of the Schuldiner family.

The family requests that winners submit photos of themselves with their respective prizes for posting on EmptyWords.org. All prizes will be sent to the winners within 14 days of the drawing via insured and registered FedEx. All winners will be issued a certificate of authenticity by the estate of Charles (“Chuck&#8221 M. Schuldiner and a photo of Chuck with the winning guitars along with a photo of Chuck in front of the winning stage back drop.

Essay entries will be published in a book dedicated to all the fans who meant so much to Chuck, soon to be available on the internet, which will also contain a selection of the letters of support and inspiration which fans sent to Chuck during his illness. Chuck was always about the fans and had no stomach for the commercialization of his music, instead always keeping true to his vision. He was known for battling record labels and the like throughout his entire career. One of his favorite sayings, ‘Support music, not rumors’, comes to mind.

The proceeds, in part, will be used to finally produce the never before released last music Chuck was able to record in the studio. This is an important project not only to the fans who have been waiting years, for all of the “red tape” to disintegrate, but for Chuck’s long time close friend & drummer, Richard Christy and other band members, Chuck’s family and the entire international metal music community.

Thank you for your support of this important announcement,

Sincerely,
Beth Schuldiner
