Death - Chuck Schuldiner's Back Catalog To Be Reissued


Relapse Records is honored to announce a partnership with Perseverance Holdings Ltd. and the Schuldiner family to reissue the legendary catalog of heavy metal luminary Chuck Schuldiner and his bands Death, Control Denied, and Mantas.

Chuck Schuldiner's Death, one of the most important and influential metal bands of all-time, will see the first official digital releases of it's legendary albums Scream Bloody Gore, Leprosy, Spiritual Healing, Human, Individual Thought Patterns, and The Sound Of Perseverance from May 11th via iTunes. These digital releases will come two days before Chuck Schuldiner would have celebrated his 43rd birthday. Schuldiner passed away on December 13, 2001 after fighting a long, recurring battle with brain cancer.

Relapse will also reissue an expanded version of the classic debut album, The Fragile Art Of Existence, from Schuldiner's progressive heavy metal band Control Denied in late 2010 as well as the first-ever collection by his pre-Death project Mantas. The expanded version of The Fragile Art of Existence will include bonus tracks, extra band photography, expanded art and packaging and more. Details on both releases are forthcoming.

Long-range plans include the completion and official release of the final Control Denied album When Man and Machine Collide. Recorded over 10 years ago at Morrisound Studios with producer Jim Morris, When Man and Machine Collide was tracked by Schuldiner but left incomplete upon Chuck's passing.

Everything he doesn't like is metalcore. Britney Spears, Elton John, Michael Moore, and green beans are also metalcore, in case you guys didn't know.

I won't get the albums from iTunes, because I don't like iTunes and I respect the man too much to download his work. However, I am looking forward to the Mantas collection.

Got Mayhem?
Nothing I can really get excited about, considering that pretty much all of this Death material is already available digitally through the internet. Getting it from itunes just puts money into peoples pockets who had nothing at all to do with either Chuck or Death. Unless a very large percentage of this goes towards Chucks family, which would be nice.

The Control Denied reissue and Mantas stuff is really the only news worth talking about unless I'm missing something here.

Give it time. I'm certain that someone from the Blogspot metal-trading circuit will download all of those albums and then spread it around.

I'm not so into the digital aspect of it, because I still prefer CDs. However, the second Control Denied album being released is great news.

Pretty kewl about Mantas. As far as Reissuing Death albums and Controll denied, well, I already am familiar with most of those so it doesn't make a difference to me. But all the same r.i.p. chuck, I hope your family can reap some benefits from this.

Are you guys retarded? Did you not see the last part saying "When Man And Machine Collide" is being released? That is also why they teamed up with relapse and have all the re-issues coming out. It's the last official tribute to Chuck. There's definately enough here to be excited for. I can't wait to hear the new Control Denied.

It only says it is a long term plan to release that album. So I highly doubt it will see the light of day this year or even next year.
