DEATH Left To Die Reaction ~ The Decomposer Lounge

Death is of those rare bands that never made a "bad" album. We demand more Death in this channel!

Hell yes, please do something off their album Symbolic next. RIP Chuck Shuldiner

Death are second to none. Literaly a league on their own, throughout the years of their musical and sound evolution (up until fate struck)...There are no filler tracks, each and everyone is unique in its way, lyrics and Chuck's voice are always powerful and visceral. All the lineups throughout the albums were recorded by some of the best musicians in the scene. Trully epic band.

Fun fact: Chuck was 20-years-old when he recorded Leprosy. Another fun fact: he recorded all the bass parts.

You'll love the bass on the song Philosopher from Death.

This is death metal; when it still was raw. The band later progressed into a more technical DM band. You could say they birthed several metal genres.

Death is an amazing band. Voice of the soul is probably one of my favorite songs ever.

Death was essentially driven by one man, who developed 4 unique sounds in a 20-year span... 1st 1983-1990 - the pioneering, thrashy gore-era (3 records) (plus many demos) 2nd 1991-1993 - the increasingly technically-progressive era (2 records) 3rd 1995-1998 - the melodic-progressive era (2 records) 4th 1998-2001 - the full-on power metal (NOT DEATH METAL) era (in the Control Denied project) (1 record) An incredible output in such a short time from Chuck Schuldiner. Digging into the rich catalogue for a quick periodic dip is totally worth it here.

Good catch on the punk influence. One thing a lot of people coming into metal don't always catch is just that. Metal got a lot of its aggression(specifically around the thrash era) from the influence of Punk and Hardcore punk. A death long form would be great, would be intersting to hear you react to a track from each of their albums as they grew more and more progressive as they went on, and they never put out a bad album. Also have to throw in my usual request for more Dillinger escape plan, hopefully a long form ;p keep up with the awesome content!

Death is one of my favorite bands ever! Starting with 1991's "Human" album is when they really start to shine and bring in more progressive elements. Chuck was so talented and worked with some incredible musicians. Look forward to seeing you react to some of Death's later work. "Flesh and the power it holds“ is my favorite

Death is my favorite band so this is unexpected.

Chuck was a genius and all around fantastic musician. Death kept getting better with every album. Individual Thought Patterns was a masterpiece and you need to check that out immediately.

Next stop: Morbid Angel's 'Altars of Madness". Absolutely game changing record from 1989, insane drumming, mind-warping sideways guitar playing - off the charts innovation and musicianship.

Their catalog is such an amazing body of work. Each album has an evolution in sound, musicianship and production. The last album is an entire different beast than the 'standard' Death albums, it was turning into weird prog-death metal that was the perfect way for Chuck to go out. The dude is definitely the wizard of Death Metal. As an 80s metal fan that had to endure the switch of the 90s, Death never let me down. 'Symbolic' was an album that all my metal friends could appreciate. It's such a gem. But 'Individual Thought Patterns' is my personal fav. Gene on drums is just like nothing else. Hope you discover more of their music, their catalog always gets 'better' album by album. But their old raw stuff is also like nothing else.

"Flattening of Emotions" by Death next please, Geebz. It was a game changer for metal in 1991. Sean Reinert changed metal forever with his jazz fusion chops playing over his blistering feet on the "Human" album.

I just caught Rick Rozz and Terry Butler playing under the moniker "Left to Die" last night. They're playing all 'Leprosy' and 'Scream bloody Gore' material on tour right now and it is excellent! Highly recommended for those who dig the oldschool death metal.

RIP Chuck RIP Sean both legends .. suggestions would be Lack of Comprehension, Symbolic, Empty Words, Crystal Mountain or Flesh and the Power it Holds.

This is my favourite Death Metal production ever. GOAT drum sound.

Love seeing you listen to extreme metal bands. when you said "This is sick!" I couldn't help but smile. Can't wait to see you listen to more like this.

The Philosopher, Spirit Crusher, Voice of the Soul, Empty words, Zero tolerance, Symbolic, these are the songs for you!
