Classic Live DEATH Videos Available For Download
August 9, 2007MetalKult.com has posted rare live videos from a 1988 performance by DEATH. The videos were shot on October 23, 1988, at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, during a show with RAVEN, DARK ANGEL, FAITH OR FEAR and FORBIDDEN (which was recorded/filmed and later released as part of the "Ultimate Revenge II" video on the Combat label).
Led by the late Chuck Schuldiner on vocals and lead guitar, DEATH burns through three cuts from their 1988 album, "Leprosy" — "Left to Die", "Pull the Plug" and "Forgotten Past" — as well as "Denial of Life", from their 1987 debut, "Scream Bloody Gore".

Back in December 2006, the Greek edition of Rock Hard magazine published a tribute to late DEATH mastermind Chuck Schuldiner, including statements and stories from many of the people that played with Chuck — such as Kam Lee, Chris Reifert, Terry Butler, Steve DiGiorgio, Richard Christy and Paul Masvidal — plus music industry notables who dealt with Schuldiner, and other musicians, among them Michael Amott (ARCH ENEMY),Niklas Sundin (DARK TRANQUILLITY),Donald Tardy (OBITUARY),Alex Webster (CANNIBAL CORPSE),Trym (EMPEROR),Dan Lilker (NUCLEAR ASSAULT),Kelly Shaefer (ATHEIST),and Tony Choy (ATHEIST, CYNIC). The magazine has posted all the individual statements from the article (which came out in Greece on December 27, 2006) at this location.
To coincide with what would have been DEATH mastermind Chuck Schuldiner's 40th birthday (Chuck was born on May 13, 1967),the official DEATH web site Empty Words posted the Schuldiner tribute article (entitled "Lust for Life") which was published in Guitar World magazine's April 2007 issue. Check it out at this location.
Schuldiner passed away on December 13, 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor. He was 34 years old.
