Death was an influential American death metal band founded in 1983 by guitarist and vocalist Chuck Schuldiner, and dissolved in 1999. They are widely credited as the creators of the death metal genre, from the release of their first demo in 1984. The band's label debut Scream Bloody Gore is considered a template of the genre, described as death metal's first archetypal document.[1] Schuldiner was the only member to remain in the band from start to end. Music biographers have referred to Schuldiner as the father of death metal.
Chuck Schuldiner under the original name of Mantas in Orlando, Death were among the more widely known, early pioneers of the death metal sound along with fellow Florida band Morbid Angel. In the late 80s, the band was both a part of and integral in defining the death metal scene which gained international recognition with the release of albums by a number of area acts.Schuldiner designed the Death logo and its various incarnations during the length of his career. In 1991, before the release of Human, he cleaned up the logo taking out more intricate details, then in 1995 the "T" in the logo was swapped from an inverted Cross to a more regular looking "T".Last known lineup * Chuck Schuldiner − Vocals, Lead and Rhythm Guitars, main songwriter (1983-2001) * Shannon Hamm − Guitars (1996-2001) * Scott Clendenin − Bass (1996-2001) * Richard Christy − Drums (1996-2001)
Charles Michael "Chuck" Schuldiner (May 13, 1967, Long Island, New York -- December 13, 2001) was an American musician and genre innovator. He is best known for being the founder, singer, rhythm/lead guitar player and main songwriter of Death, which he founded in 1983 as Mantas, and was one of the first bands of the death metal genre. He played an important role in the development of death metal with his band Death, which later evolved into more of a progressive metal sound. In 1998, he put Death on indefinite hiatus and founded another band, Control Denied. Music biographers have referred to Schuldiner as the father of death metal.
Chuck Schuldiner was born on May 13, 1967 on Long Island, New York to a Jewish father of Austrian descent and a mother from the American South, a convert to Judaism; both his parents were teachers. In 1968, his family moved to Florida. Schuldiner was the youngest of three children. He had an older brother named Frank and an older sister named Bethann.
Schuldiner started playing at the age of 9. His 16 year old brother had just been killed in an accident and his parents bought him a guitar, thinking it would help with his grief. He took classical lessons for less than a year in which his teacher taught him "Mary had a little Lamb",did not like it,and almost stopped completely, until his parents saw an electric guitar at a yard sale and bought it for him. The young Schuldiner immediately took to the instrument. After getting amps, he never stopped playing, writing and teaching himself. Schuldiner was known to spend the weekend in the garage or his room playing his guitar, but was limited to three hours on weekdays when school was in session. Schuldiner first played in public in his early teens.
Schuldiner was originally inspired by Iron Maiden, Kiss and Billy Idol, among others. He was particularly interested in the metal movement known as NWOBHM and cited bands of that genre among his favorites, He frequently cited French band Sortilège as his personal favorite metal group[1]. Slayer, Possessed, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond and Metallica were later influences he would apply more to his own band. Later in his career Schuldiner cited progressive metal bands such as Watchtower and Queensrÿche frequently as influences. Chuck's mother claims that he enjoyed all forms of music except country and rap. He also apparently particularly enjoyed jazz and classical music in addition to metal and British alternative acts such as Lush.
Although Schuldiner apparently did do well in school, school bored him and he eventually dropped out. He did regret this later, however[2].
Schuldiner was also known for being openly against hard drugs. This was reflected in various interviews and a few songs (notably "Living Monstrosity", which is about an addict child born to a cocaine-addicted mother). However, Schuldiner was an open advocate for recreational and medicinal cannabis use.
