Control Denied Continue Sophom
The surviving members of Control Denied will continue on with their highly anticipated sophomore album, When Machine and Man Collide, despite the recent death of founder Chuck Schuldiner. The band -- bassist Steve DiGiorgio, vocalist Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon Hamm, and drummer Richard Christy -- are determined to complete the effort that they had started with Schuldiner before he lost his battle with pontine glioma, a rare brain tumor. Guitars and drums had already been tracked and bass and vocals will be the next endeavor before the mixing the album.
DiGiorgio recently commented that it is “sad beyond belief that [Chuck] never saw [the album] to its completion. We will try our best to finish it in his honor, but will never know if it lives up to his standards. That's the least we can do for someone who gave so much and cared so much about what he did and how it affected those who believed as well.” The record is expected to be released in late 2002 release through Hammerheart Records and will feature much axe-work from Schuldiner.
Schuldiner formed the band Death and was considered one of the founding fathers of the death metal genre. He died on December 13th at 4pm ET.
MOE - 12/31/2001 8:08:10 AM I had not cried for years, but Chuck's DEATH was an unbelievable irony that crushed my heart. With oceans deep, filled with sorrow I remorse his death and wish to see him in the next world. He was The Greatest and such progidy can never appear in Music at all. I LOVE you Chuck, rest in peace my greatest martyr.

i_love_taz - 12/27/2001 5:32:54 PM Control Denied is more melodic, and slightly progressive, compared to Death. The vocals have no "Cookie Monster" sound, just a nice, melodic scream :). Never met the guy, but judging from many mnterviews I've read, a humble man. Now that's more than can be said of some so-called "Artists" these days. Long live Chuck!
Swinestr - 12/27/2001 6:58:56 AM Can't say that I have heard anything from this band .... but I have seen the cd around. It looks cool but I was wondering what do they sound like?
Orange_Goblin - 12/27/2001 5:28:11 AM the world lost a great musician when Chuck passed. My prayers and condolences go out to those close to him... But I'm so glad that the second Control Denied disc is going to see the light of day. The first one rocked... R.I.P. Chuck...
Nailz2k - 12/27/2001 5:20:44 AM I want to take the time to say that Schulinder should be recognized now in his passing and remembered through his music. Also, to send prayers out to Chuck Billy and James Murphy in their respective recoveries.
Crimson-King - 12/27/2001 12:44:14 AM R.I.P. Chuck!! Your contributions to metal will live on FOREVER!!!!
Ixion - 12/26/2001 11:45:45 PM I really looked up to Chuck because he was so anti-rap and anti- trend. The world has lost one of the greatest warriors ever. I have dedicated my music and energy to destroying that disgusting disease that was brought on by Korn, Limp Dick, Slipsnot and all of those other faggot ass bands. Unfortunatly I never had the privelage of meeting him, but I sure hope his legacy and his attitude live on in myself and the other musicians of today. No more rapcore!
