So happy I met Chuck before he died. During the "Spiritual Healing" tour, I met him, shook his hand, told him how fucking awesome he was. Got his signature on my "Spiritual Healing" CD. He was an incredibly humble, friendly, nice guy. Thanks, Chuck.
Damn, Great encounter! Dime bag got me into Metal/playing Guitar .. I never got to see/meet him tho.. Chuck is Just as big of an influence!!! R.I.P Gone to soon!
Alex x bg death metal has way more talent then thrash has 😂😂😂 90% of death metal is great, if not greater, thrash is a gateway genre to most long time metalheads anyways 😂😂

Will there ever be a band as incredible as the death line up on symbolic...the most iconic lyrical content, drum playing, riff writing, solo playing, bass lines (aside from indvidual thought patterns) in the history of any music ive heard. death was truly a gift to the human race. ive been listening everyday and can play most of their songs and i still get chills EVERYTIME
This is the golden era of Death my friend, similar to the Rust In Peace Lineup of Megadeth. They were untouchable and ascended into LEGENDARY TIER!!! Sometimes you just come together and create something EPIC that can never be matched by anything that comes after hence why Chuck ended this Album with Perennial Quest an unquenchable thirst for perfection!!
The bass is very underrated on this album. Nothing too complex but such brilliant and beautiful riffs, especially on Sacred Serenity. Human (the remastered version) for me had the best bass. I always felt the bass to be waay too loud on ITP. No Lars.
Man, Chuck was incredible. The first concert I ever went to was Death, maybe 25 years ago, along with a band called Devastation. It was right after Spiritual Healing came out, I was about 15 at the time. We managed to go because my older friend has gotten his driver's license and we drove up to West Palm Beach. I shook Chuck's hand after the show. Can't really say I "met" him, I was just standing in a group of people he greeted and shook hands with. The Spiritual Healing album was life changing for me at the time, as I was just learning the guitar then. I really should go back and listen to Death (and other music that inspired me early on) more often. Everything I've read about him since then proves what I thought at the time, that he was a super cool guy. I wish he was still around.
I love Death with all my metal-heart! They must be one of the best bands that have ever existed! Schuldiner was really one of the best musicians of our time... I can't explain how sad i am to know that we lost such a great songwriter, performer and human being at such a young age. I would have loved to see him playing live... to bad that i was born way to late for that. Life goes on, and their music will be with me until i die! peace out!
Right there with you, I loved the big 4 , Testament, Exodus, and Maiden, and for some reason just kinda blew off Death, probably vocals turned me away at the time. Now though, I love it, a total pleasure to get caught up with this legendary band and now definitely one of my favorite.
had a friend show me this song over 15 years ago.. a year later I learned it on drums and guitar, jammed with a band. became a metal head ever since.. thanks Kevin wherever you are
Human and Individual Thoughts Patterns dude. Beginning from Human onward, every album was a metal masterpiece. Chuck was absolutely a poet, philosopher and a beautiful human being. December 13th is always a sad day for me.
I'm new in metal and for a few years i've been listening to new bands and death is just amazing... Now i understand why metalheads say the run in a league of their own... I love arch enemy but this is a masterpiece... Dunno how no one told me about metal when i was a kid... Feels like my childhood was wasted
I think this is one of, if not the first, death metal songs I've heard, and the first I've heard by Death, one of the greatest bands ever! R.I.P Chuck Shuldiner
***** "tourette's", "Very Ape", "Negative Creep", and "Territorial Pissings" were definitely grindcore. But majority of Nirvana songs were death metal.
I was always impressed by how well the clean guitars flirted with the distortion through the whole song and how creative the drum patterns they used are. a genius work.
lol Im 37 now and still will come back to Death,what an amazing band RIP chuck,you will always be a god,fucking amazing music,every album.Metal salutes Death no question.
Technically, not even Chuck himself considered the band "death metal". In his own words: "I don’t think I should take the credits for this death metal stuff. I'm just a guy from a band, and I think Death is a metal band."
Having such talent for music that transcends the vast VAST majority of musicians and contribution that much to music that you basicly lay most of the foundation for a whole new main genre in metal... damn im my eyes Chuck is immortal.
It's interesting how people I know that doesn't listen to any kind of Metal or even Rock enjoyed the breakdown coming at 1:34 refering to it as “damn good”.
I love Chuck's voice on TSOP, it's like an angel screaming down from the heavens. That being said, Death predates Fear Factory by about four or five years and just barely edging out Dark Tranquility by a year (that is if you count the Septic Broiler demos).
I agree. It's my favorite Death album (Mind you I love every single one of them.) I'm wearing my Death shirt with this album art on it right now actually!
Im only 14 and i LOVE Metal.im the guy that says! LIFE u dont have background music? I listen to it every time . I know many bands but i cant believe how EPIC DEATH IS ! 95'?! u kiddin me?! thats way better than songs out now.MY REGARDS TO THE BAND
0:22 I'll just leave this here. Wish I could hear this for the first time again. It seems Death's songs will never bore me - and I have nothing against it.
@Maria90578 Agreed. That part is a total eargasm. With that being said, the entire song is an eargasm all on it's own. And for that matter, EVERY Death song from Symbolic, Spiritual Healing, Human, and Individual Thought Patterns are AMAZING.

Bro i hope u still keep the cd
I meet him after he died..😂
Damn, Great encounter! Dime bag got me into Metal/playing Guitar .. I never got to see/meet him tho.. Chuck is Just as big of an influence!!! R.I.P Gone to soon!
what a lucky guy, man!!!!
you damn lucky!!! I miss him so much....
i know most people wouldn't describe music like metal beautiful, but goddamn this whole album is just BEAUTIFUL.
What a beautiful comment
Plus Richard cristy on drums is the funniest dude on the planet. Look up his prank calls, thank me later
most people don't even know how metal sounds
"Voice of the Soul" from their last album (Sound of Perseverance) was poetry made by a guitar.
In every way u listen to....
One of the best metal records ever made
Yeah Symbolic was pretty dank
Absolutely! One of those albums that's still absolutely awesome 20 years after it was released!
Changolion I think most critics agree that ITP, Symbolic and TSOP are three of the best metal/extreme metal albums ever made.
+Changolion THE best metal record although Human isn't far behind
Along with Left Hand Path by Entombed.
Always avoided death metal, thought it was too extreme so I stuck to thrash. Never knew what I was missing!

@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4956 true
I no longer agree with my opinion
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa4956 haha
Death is basically prog-thrash with rougher vocals.
Unironically think this is one of the greatest songs written in the past century. Its just, perfect
Best part 00:00 to 05:10
bro nice pic lol
my profile pic or whatever is the same pic. it's not showing up for me tho?
is ur name in reference to Slipknot and MCR, not judging cuz i started there too
+Ian Aberbach lol when I made this profile I was pretty into mcr and slipknot. not ashamed to say I still listen to mcr rarely lpl
ik dude i occasionally peep it, the fans r gross but the guys made great music nothing as good as death obviously
LYRICS:
Built from blind faith
Passed down from self-induced fantasy
Turn a page to justify
Conjuring power - it opens wide
On your seventh day,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
[Chorus:]
Inside crystal mountain
Evil takes its form
Inside crystal mountain
Commandments are reborn
All the traps are set to confine
All who get in the way of the divine
In sight and in mind of the hypocrite
A slave to the curse forever confined
Shatter the myth
Don't cut yourself
On your words against
dreams made of steel
Stronger than any faith
That inflicts pain and fear,
is that how it's done?
Twisting your eyes to perceive
all that you want
To assume from ignorance
Inflicting wounds with your
cross-turned dagger
A slave to the curse, forever confined!!
Chuck's lyrics are some of the most well thought out in my opinion.
Hypocrisy, deceit, philosophy, and much more.
Will there ever be a band as incredible as the death line up on symbolic...the most iconic lyrical content, drum playing, riff writing, solo playing, bass lines (aside from indvidual thought patterns) in the history of any music ive heard. death was truly a gift to the human race. ive been listening everyday and can play most of their songs and i still get chills EVERYTIME
Yes you are spot on , Easily the Best Death/Thrash Band Of All time .
Absolutely
Check out Magma ;)

Things seemed so eternal?
But the legacy of Chuck remains strong.
Isn't that lyric from symbolic though?

Love this cd. Chuck will be forever immortalized thru his amazing music. That will never die along with his memory. R.I.P.
+Scott Clements Still sounds as current today to me as when I first heard it 20 years ago.
what an awesome band, its not just mindless blasting, there is a clear message in all chucks songs
💯
this is one of my new favorite metal songs. Can't belive how into metal i was as kid and didn't listen to Death
Same here. And Death is also for me one of those metal bands I feel that I discovered way too late in my life!
Right there with you, I loved the big 4 , Testament, Exodus, and Maiden, and for some reason just kinda blew off Death, probably vocals turned me away at the time. Now though, I love it, a total pleasure to get caught up with this legendary band and now definitely one of my favorite.
Fav track on the album. Absolutely phenomenal.
This album no lie, gave my life purpose and light again. rip Chuck your music and legacy is "stronger than anything."
had a friend show me this song over 15 years ago.. a year later I learned it on drums and guitar, jammed with a band. became a metal head ever since.. thanks Kevin wherever you are
Assolutamente immenso,sicuramente uno dei dischi fondamentali del death metal.
Best album with The sound of Perseverance
Perseverance is better
Spiritual Healing and Leprosy...
bloody gore and leprosy
Human and Individual Thoughts Patterns dude. Beginning from Human onward, every album was a metal masterpiece. Chuck was absolutely a poet, philosopher and a beautiful human being. December 13th is always a sad day for me.
Every Death Album is great I cannot choose which is better.
Damnn Chuck really put forth a lot of love in this song
Chuck [ Death Metal Prophet ] 🤘🤘
This and Individual Thought Patterns are my favorite albums. Gene Hoglan is a monster
I'm new in metal and for a few years i've been listening to new bands and death is just amazing... Now i understand why metalheads say the run in a league of their own... I love arch enemy but this is a masterpiece... Dunno how no one told me about metal when i was a kid... Feels like my childhood was wasted
Flavio Marques well by now you are probably not new to metal, but thats great \m/
Listen to Vektor. The best metal band of our decade by far
Metal is one of many genres in which is heavily overlooked by many.
There will never be anyone close to Death. One of a kind; the voice, the lyrics, the music! You kick ass Chuck!!
Death is like the Pink Floyd of Death metal
true that
I'm floored..Chuck's words...I feel...RIP dear Chuck
I think this is one of, if not the first, death metal songs I've heard, and the first I've heard by Death, one of the greatest bands ever! R.I.P Chuck Shuldiner
***** This is the first song I've heard, but I've listened to their albums Leprosy, Spiritual Healing, Human, and The Sound of Perseverance.
ugh, listen to "Heart-Shaped Box" it's a much better death metal song.
TheSmashingTesticles As in, like, death causing? Yeah, Nirvana will do that to some people.
*****
"tourette's", "Very Ape", "Negative Creep", and "Territorial Pissings" were definitely grindcore. But majority of Nirvana songs were death metal.
+TheSmashingTesticles Why do I keep finding you on random videos bashing Nirvana in the comment section lol?
I agree this is one of the best tech death metal albums ever made.
+Myth Plays Eh, those two terms are pretty much interchangeable.
This predates tech death
necrophagist-epitaph and luciferion-the apostate
*one of best metal album all of Time*
@@brianwade1245 not really, no.

Se pasaron componiendo esta cancion, mis oidos disfrutaron cada uno de sus sonidos
Una vez que oyes esos riffs se apoderan de todo tu ser. No hay manera de sacarlos de tu mente! ☠️
death is such a sick band. I wish I had been born early enough to exprience them live!
The sound of perfection
RIP Chuck... We miss you here!
rip chuck ALWAYS LOVE BROTHER

left to die
Couldn't agree more...they will always be awesome!Keep on rocking :)
I'm 40 and I keep coming back to them. I appreciate their music much more now than i did when I was younger
The whole band is just perfect
Ugh taking me back to my roots. Will always love this song.
0:20 I really love this part. Sounds very chill, it's like psychodelic rock but faster
Death just never fails to make my day better
is there any bad piece coming from Chuck?? all he played became gold!!
the kind midas of music, my dude
Yup but symbolic and sounds of perservence are 2 of the greatest albums ever of all time
painkiller cover :D
@@olli.tiainen not bad, just unnecessary
Absolute masterpiece!
diretto,geniale,evocativo,spettacolare!!!
Assolutamente si
Chuck ci manca ❤
This is my favorite Death song it just sounds Majestic in the way its written like it came from some secret scroll just has always moved me.
Technically, not even Chuck himself considered the band "death metal". In his own words:
"I don’t think I should take the credits for this death metal stuff. I'm just a guy from a band, and I think Death is a metal band."
Is it ok to have tears swell up with such baddassery god I love death!!!
Yes, it is.
MASTERPIECE.
3:07 "Stronger than anime"
Toukkajumala i cant unhear it now :(
chuck did not die. the reaper made a mistake and thought he died but chuck killed the reaper and stole his job.
chuck IS death
Chuck using the flanger technique years before it was even a thing in his guitar playing.
A true pioneer, visionary and legend of DM.🫡🫡🫡
Ahhhh that outro...
We miss you Chuck
Having such talent for music that transcends the vast VAST majority of musicians and contribution that much to music that you basicly lay most of the foundation for a whole new main genre in metal... damn im my eyes Chuck is immortal.
Such an insane drummer. Just incredible fast hands and feet.
best song of all time probably , they didnt even try to
This song is so amazing lyrically, vocally, musically and atmospherically METAL AT ITS BEST … R.I.P. Chuck Shuldiner 🤘🤘
ОУ ЩИТ, СТАРЫЙ ДОБРЫЙ DEATH, ЧАК ПРОСТО ВЕРТУОЗ

Best band band ever.
One of the best metal songs ever, period
Greatest death metal song of all time u can’t tell me shit
I love many Death's songs, but this one has been my preferred for several years back when it got released.
Those heavily phased accenting riffs that slot themselves in between the rhythm guitar, so fucking satisfying to the ears.
É a melhor banda que já existiu!!!!!
I just keep coming back to these guys. Freaken awesome!!
Holy shit I just can't believe that a band could reach so much awesomeness...
Never a dull moment in any death song.
10/10 album💯💯
I love Chuck's voice on TSOP, it's like an angel screaming down from the heavens. That being said, Death predates Fear Factory by about four or five years and just barely edging out Dark Tranquility by a year (that is if you count the Septic Broiler demos).
Literally love every song by Death, these guys are Gods!!
What a masterpiece...
Just added this to my "Metal Detector" collection.
This was been a monumental album for my teenage years. It's cool to know that I loved a song that is acknowledged as a masterpiece now. 😎
Dude, me too, and the bass on Flattening of emotions seeps through the guitar and it trips me out.
Too good to be real.
This is some good shit.
R.I.P. Chuck,
We all miss you
As a first time death listener, the vocals are grating. The music itself is phenomenal, no question.
This is the best song to ever come of Orlando, Florida
Dude, Death was the pioneer of Death Metal, the creator, The Messiah of the genre.
2:54 CHEDDAR !!!
omg lol
Still relevant and alway's will be.R.I.P chuck.
