I think I was 17 ,18 years old when Scream Bloody Gore came out. I got the cassette, They definitely progressed with each album

 

[RaceU4her]

one of the greats for sure!

Saw Death at a small club in Baton Rouge in the mid/late 90s. They were on the Symbolic tour. Actually, got to talk to Chuck before the show at the bar. He was a super cool dude. We shot the shit for about 20 minutes. I was just getting into more extreme metal. He was very gracious with his time and was a soft-spoken guy. They put on a great show.

Hanged, drawn, and quartered is appropriate for such blasphemy.

Chuck was a god amongst men.

Love Death! Hard to believe it has been so long....

Really interesting watching Chuck and his band go from the old days of the demos all the way to the (Watchtower-influenced) SOP and Control Denied days near the end. RIP. A couple of favorites, here :

1st 3 are hall of fame albums.
Leprosy being the pinnacle.
Spiritual Healing was another masterpiece with some of the finest trade off solos.
Not really a death metal band near the end of his career imo.
RIP Chuck

Death was one of the few bands whose albums got better towards the end, that's saying something about Chuck as he was the sole constant member of the band IIRC.
