Control Denied Spirit Crusher (Instrumental) (Demo)

[ntipouan]

OMG

[spacemanbose]

awesome...and the intro with the clean guitars reminds me of TOOL!

[babykkkyle]

@spacemanbose please don't ever compare this amazing musician to the likes of tool

[spacemanbose]

@spacemanbose i'm not comparing control denied with tool. I only say that the first seconds of the intro with the clean guitars reminds me of tool. Get it?

[MrLuxaras]

@spacemanbose You send a message to your self.....Answer fast or you may get upset :P

[MrArghhhh]

drumming is much better on tsop, this doesn't even sound like christy,... beside that, thanks so much for this unvaluable version

[JackTarJakst3R]

He is a real guitar master, that has to be said.

It's sad that people like Chuck wo live out their passion and make others feel great though their music suffer and others who hurt people seem to get away with their crimes and live long.. I don't wish death to anyone, but it just doesn't seem fair.

[goretesqued]

Is this version not the same? Some parts are just a bit slower.

[amonkvasir]

I don't think it's better than Spirit Crusher from TSOP...it's good, without doubt, but that is one of the best song of Metal music

[RebarVictimo]

"were originally meant to be Control Denied songs, which has been confirmed by Eric Greif in a recent interview."

He confirmed it? Can I get a link to that interview, if possible, please?

[blodiapunchingjin]

@RebarVictimo YouTube won't let me post the URL in the comments box, and I can't send you a private message because it says your account isn't available. What's going on with YouTube?

[viljuska229]

This version is better than the actual song on TSOP...not taking anything from that,but this is...amazing.

[dcrane716]

DAVEOJ there was a contractural obligation for another album under the name death, most of the control material was written at the time of symbolic

[titasgrandes]

i have a hard time beliving this is Chuck Schuldiner at the helm,i personally dont hink he would sound like this on his worst day,good job though to who ever !DEATH IS FOREVER!

[MorbidAzagthothDeath]

this....is...amazing.

[wishingbone29]

that's what i call GENIUS!!!

RIP CHUCK!!!

[aarongtr180]

Both Death and Control Denied are mind-blowing and revolutionary, though I prefer Death, personally.

[TxDeathGeass]

I LOVE THIS VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!

by any chance do you have any of the other songs from this demo?

RIP CHUCK!!

[blodiapunchingjin]

@TxDeathGeass Believe and What If...? are the other 2 from this demo.

[Bassbait]

I think the biggest way you can tell that 7th album Death is Control Denied is because of just the solos themselves. They have a remarkable similarity, as well as many of the riffs. I personally didn't like Control Denied that much. It felt too gimmicky, and I was hoping Chuck would make a better delivery, such as TSOP. P.S. Lol, that confusing part in Spirit Crusher sounds all happy here.

[eradeziel]

3:33 on...

Sounds cool as fuck at that pace. Never imagined it without that slide downwards after those D power chords, great stuff!

[acdcguy2]

makes me wonder what this woulda been like if it had ended up on fragile art or if death didnt put out perseverance n all that stuff was on a control denied cd or something. different vocals thats for sure...

[ANTiBassMetal]

this is a great song for karaoke at metal bars, though you have to sing the last verse a bar early since it cuts out, i made a vid of me singing this song, check it out.

[boobsmaster]

this is like chuck and a drummer jamming spirit crusher in the garage?

[zombie161]

chucks the man

r.i.p. metal brother

[DaveOJ]

Symbolic was supposed to be the last Death album; that's why Control Denied was initially formed in 1996. Google "The Metal Crusade Vol. 2 no .6" ( it is referred to in the "In Control.. section) I'm not sure why TSoP was released

[blodiapunchingjin]

@DaveOJ Death was signed to Nuclear Blast to continue releasing Death's catalog and Death's dissolution, and Nuclear Blast wanted him to make one more album (this way Nuclear Blast could offer an album of brand new music).

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@DaveOJ

honestly i wouldnt have been as into Control Denied as i am death, the singing killed it really bad for me

[necroshyha]

@DaveOJ And You know what... Symbolic SHOULD be their last album because it was so epic. Perennial Quest was perfect track to be last bands track with emotional ending and great lyrics. Why they recorded Sound of Perseverance? I like that album, few songs very much but it would be better if they released Spirit Crusher, Bite the Pain, Scavenger, Voice of the soul under Control Denied's name

[TheTurkinat0r27]

@necroshyha I know I'm 11 months late but they recorded "The Sound of Perseverance" because on the new label Chuck signed up to for Control Denied, the label wanted one more Death albuma and then he could do all the Control Denied albums he wants.

[necroshyha]

@TheTurkinat0r27 Thanks for the information!

[TheTurkinat0r27]

@necroshyha No problem :)

[AdrianNtart]

LOVE IT. prefer it to the one in sound of! :O

how many tracks does A Moment Of Clarity have?

[CtrlRm]

Holy shit...2:35-3:10 kicks my ass. Better than the album version.

[CtrlRm]

Death Lives

[victor891107]

obra maestra

[spurqz]

This better than spirit crusher! But i like more the bass solos on crusher.

[RedShogun13]

This sounds way to Death-esque to be Control Denied.

Provided this versions sounds very different but imo it's hard to see this as a Control Denied song.

[blodiapunchingjin]

It's all speculation at this point. This probably isn't the way this song was meant to be heard i.e. this 3-song demo is probably a mixture of songs from different demos, as controlledchaos below me explains.

[controlledchaos]

I did an interview with Tim Aymar before Chuck died for a web-zine I used to produce. He said there was only one "official" Control Denied demo. It is the one they shopped to record labels. It had 3 songs, and 3 songs only:

1)What If?

2)Believe

3)Cut Down

Where people get confused is that there was a 4 song demo with Chuck singing 2 songs and the other 2 instrumentals. 2 became Death songs (A Moment of Clarity, and this song) the other 2 became Control Denied songs (Believe and What If?)

[kk5371]

great intro

[7dedlysins]

well I read or heard somewhere that when Chuck began writing for Control Denied, the music he was writing he viewed as stuff for Death, so he made The Sound of Perserverence

[biffen89]

Wow, this is really interesting.

[ZSwordProductions]

Weird...

I don't think Chuck recycled songs, though. He doesn't seem like the kind that would've done that.

[xschuldinerx]

its not liek chuck said "oh this is shit so ill use it for death" the drums are way different and many guitar parts a different.

[blodiapunchingjin]

No, of course not. It just sounded more in the vein of Death than Control Denied, that's all. Remember, Chuck had been writing songs for Mantas/Death for more than ten years...a transition in style would take a little time, even for a god like Chuck.

[satanax616]

great
