DEATH, the heavy metal institution founded, realized, and helmed by legendary guitarist Chuck Schuldiner, released the Individual Thought Patterns album (the follow-up to their watershed Human release) in 1993. Expectations were high following Human, but Schuldiner proved once again that he could rise to any occasion. Individual Thought Patterns further honed the forward-thinking and progressive direction birthed with Human, and included The Philosopher ; arguably the best song to ever come from the world of extreme metal and to this date the most widely-recognized.



Remixed by DEATH mastering engineer Alan Douches (West West Side), remastered, repackaged and featuring tons of newly unearthed and previously unreleased demo and live tracks, this is the ultimate version of Individual Thought Patterns.

Death, the heavy metal institution founded, realized, and helmed by legendary guitarist Chuck Schuldiner, released it's final studio album The Sound of Perseverance ('98) to massive world-wide critical acclaim. The Sound of Perseverance is the masterstroke of one of metal's true pioneers and innovators, and indeed worthy of the worship, adoration, and accolades that announced its original release ('98). Now remastered, repackaged and featuring over an hour of newly unearthed and previously unreleased material (extra tracks and early demos), this is the definitive edition of this timeless classic.

Vivus! captures two stunning full concerts of the final lineup of metal pioneers Death in one deluxe double-cd package. Disc One features the band at the height of their prowess tearing the roof off of the infamous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles while Disc Two is a brilliant recording of the band on the festival stage at Dynamo Open Air. Stacked with brand new liner notes from Death drummer Richard Christy and the band s long-time manager Eric Greif as well as newly unearthed photos of the band, Vivus! is more than just an artifact from one of heavy-metal s true legends, it is pair of discs that sit confidently next to Death s untouchable catalog of albums.

When fans talk about Death and its late founder, pioneering singer/guitarist/songwriter Chuck
Schuldiner, they focus on any number of things: Chuck's insane, tortured, growling vocals,
widely imitated to this day; his tuned-down, brutally heavy guitar sound; his intricate and
technical style of playing, which grew in complexity by leaps and bounds on every album; and his obsessive quest for the highest musical standards, which often completely scrambled the Death lineup from one record to the next. While his songwriting skills are discussed as
well, the first time listener to any of Death's seven studio albums may be surprised to learn just how accessible and yes, catchy, his tunes were. And there may be no finer example of this, no more perfect combination of his progressive style of playing and his interest in
memorable songs, along with his trademark brutality, than the sixth studio offering from the band, 1995 s Symbolic. Don Kaye Over the course of more than a decade, Chuck Schuldiner, has been widely recognized as the
father of death metal. Chuck Schuldiner's singular drive and ruthless creative vision guaranteed
that Death would retain a pole position at the forefront of the style's development. While the savagely raw aggression of Symbolic proved crucial to spearheading the first generation of death, and subsequently grindcore bands, the astounding musicianship and increasingly sophisticated songwriting found on the effort may have influenced even more groups
exploring the limits of extreme metal's progressive outposts.
Throughout their career, Death sold over 500,000 albums in the U.S. One can only imagine the progression Chuck Schuldiner's vision might have brought to the genre had he not been afflicted with a rare form of brain cancer in 1999. Despite two years of struggle, including
one hopeful period over most of 2000 when it appeared that the cancer had been beaten,
he passed on December 13, 2001. His legacy left genre defining albums and a host of new, progressive metal artists who found inspiration in his music. Roadrunner Records presents Death s sonic masterpiece, Symbolic, remastered for the first
time with 5 previously unreleased bonus tracks. The release of Symbolic marks the relaunch
of Roadrunner's remasters series which has included classic catalog titles from Fear Factory,
Nailbomb, Cynic, King Diamond, and many more.

2011 release from the American proto-Punk band, a collection of wild early demos that finds the trio of Hackney brothers consolidating their powers as they embark on a trip into pure Rock 'n' Roll music. Spiritual-Mental-Physical gives us Death by transistor radio, with a tinny yet- furious sound representing the 1970s environment of Death. Here, the musical landscape that inspired them is more clearly defined as they demo material that didn't make it to the studio, but shares the same ferocious bent as 'Politicians In My Eyes,' 'Keep On Knocking,' and the rest of their album ...For the Whole World To See. Spiritual-Mental-Physical is an inside look at Death's early days, one that fans of the group and fans of Punk Rock (and, indeed, rock of all kinds) are sure to enjoy for the rest of time.
