Chuck Schuldiner – 4 Year Anniversary of Death

Today (December 13th) marks the 4 year anniversary of the death of DEATH and CONTROL DENIED frontman Chuck Schuldiner. After being diagnosed with terminal pontine glioma, a type of brain cancer in 1998, Chuck passed away in 2001.

Put on your favorite DEATH album and remember one of the most talented and influential people in metal. R.I.P. Chuck.

“I believe behind confusion,
awaits the truth for us.
Past the obstacles we face.
I value our life and trust.
Years of questioning why
things happen the way they do in life.
Wishing that I could turn back time,
so we could join our souls.”

    RIP Chuck, my band is covering Crystal Mountain, funny you should mention that song. It's real sad that there's only 10 people leaving comments about Chuck while Dimebag gets many more. In my eyes… Chuck >>>>>>>>>> Dimebag Individual Thought Patterns is my favorite album too, fucking killer disc. -l-
