This week we are talking about Death from Orlando, FL. Death—or more accurately, Chuck Schuldiner—is often credited with creating the entire death metal sub-genre, although music nerds probably still debate that. Even still, there is no question how important they were and are to metal. Death is absolutely incredible and it’s truly heartbreaking Schuldiner passed away so young. This is one of the most consistent bands you’ll ever find and one of the smartest, most musical metal bands of all time. Also, at one point during the episode Mike accidentally says their final album was released in 1999 instead of 1998 and he still hasn’t forgiven himself for it.
Closing track: “A Moment of Clarity” from The Sound of Perseverance (1998)
