The METAL Thread

Never listened to these guys before, but I'm really liking it so far (Allegaeon - Of Beasts and Worms)!

 
Chuck was a legend. RIP
In memory of Chuck: I remembered the last musical project of Chuck the other day, I never really listened to it. So I dug it up and found it, gave it a listen, and found that I love this album. This has to be the most underrated musical album ever, this is Chuck at his best, even though he does not do the vocals, nobody composes and plays guitar like Chuck. And these bass lines, just such musical brilliance:

Oh yes! Control Denied was top of my play list years ago - thanks for the reminder, it's bringing back good memories!

Death are the real fathers of technical death metal - my favourite type of metal. I'm a guitarist, but have also played bass in a few tech death metal bands that whist mostly originals, did attempt a few covers, including Symbolic by Death. Sounded not too hard a song to cover initially... Was probably the hardest I've worked with people to get a track right - took us weeks. I even ending up damaging a ligament in my left forearm and as a result have learned to warm up before attempting such ridiculously fast sections. But not only that - to learn Chuck songs, you have to forget how to count, and learn how to count like Chuck did (or didn't), lol. Death was our drummers favourite band and I learned to love them too through him.

I took Death Live in LA to work on a usb stick to give to a fellow metal head at work. Next day he told me about your band I think. He told me about a band and the drummer`s best band was Death. I can`t remember the band`s name. Very brave of you to cover Death, definitely not easy.

Thinking back to 1998 when I bought The Sound of Perseverance on cd. I took it home and my friend came over and I put the Death cd on and we played PlayStation. My friend was not a metalhead but after we listened to the album I asked him "what should we listen to now?", and he said "play this again". So I put the album on repeat and we played it over and over for like 2 weeks. I also remember being out on a yacht in the ocean, and I put my Sound of Perseverance cd on. And we were sailing and listening to Death. And now I am all proud of myself, for loving Death so much. Bands like Slayer and Cradle of Filth never really did much for me, but damn I love Chuck`s music.
