Death - Death By Metal

Symbolic is still one of my all time favorite albums and I still listen to it a couple times a year, and I make Bass House. And Death has very much influenced my music, I often pay homage to the "machine gun kick" as it was worded on the cassette sleeve . This documentary was very emotional too, Chuck's love of music was real and I feel came out in his need to keep innovating, not only his own sound, but the sound that spawned an entire genre. DEATH IS METAL'S G.O.A.T.!!!!! Though Merciful Fate is a close 2nd....

This is very hard to review. It contains lots of information that I already know but it is very cool to see and hear things directly from the previous members.I didn't know about the cancelled tours or the tour shows that Chuck didn't do in Europe.It is nice seeing his family and friends and bandmates talk freely about good and bad times.Chris Reifert is probably the most interesting.Overall I probably would score it a 3 because the quality is pretty poor honestly. DVD just looks not good. If I wasn't a fan for 20 years it probably would be more interesting.The special features in many parts are just parts of the main doc. They do elaborate a little more but not much.Still no answers on the second Control Denied album but more details about why it hasn't happened yet.I'm glad I have it but it should have been in HD and a little deeper.

Mike Washburn,Documentary is pretty good touches on origins of the band all the albums the transition from Mantas, Massacre to Death and Control Denied hints at the possible release of the second Control Denied album one-day as 5 songs are tracked and syched with original drum parts and Chucks guitar's. Real gems are bonus features like the tribute to the metal Mutha Jane Schuldiner ,When man and Machine Collide , Lack of Comprehension Video Shoot Behind the Scenes, Brief History of the Origin of The Tampa Scene, Origins of Autopsy and Sadus, Origins of Obituary and the real Gem over an HR long concert Live at Eagles Ballroom -Milwaukie, Wi Nov 30th 1991 the Legacy of Chuck lives on 🤘

I noticed nearing the end of this documentary they played some Control Denied(?) songs I'm not familiar with... If those were pieces of the unreleased album for the love of God... Can we the fans at least get the unfinished work, and be happy with that... From the short parts I heard I have to hear all I can of what has been done unfinished or not, I'll be happy with anything at this point; the songs sounded amazing. This simply gets a 5 star rating for the unfamiliar songs I got the pleasure of hearing.

I didn't know much about the history of Death or very much about Chuck himself. I thought this was well done and gave a pretty good accounting of the band and it's history. I was a little uncomfortable seeing some of the negative stuff, but there always seems to be a background story in every band that isn't what you might expect. I was surprised at how many different people played with Death over the years. If you want to learn more about the band and Chuck, I recommend this. Glad I bought it.

Overall this is a very good documentary about one of my favorite musicians. If you want to hear about the real Chuck (how difficult he could be, how he hated the scene later in his career) then you’ll enjoy this. It isn’t all rainbows and happiness just because he is gone; it’s truth. And I admire that. The stories are great. If I had any criticism it would be the inclusion of Glenn and Shawn Drover. They really had no connection to Death or the Florida death metal scene. Neither of them really came off as being critical to this documentary. There is a lack of music focus as well but it’s about Chuck, not the band so I get it. The 1991 concert alone is worth the cost. This is a necessary addition to any Death collection.

I enjoyed this documentary of the band Death. Learned a lot about the birth of the scene,it's worth the watch.

Package and DVD case came undamaged ..disc was in perfect condition.. played just fine.. sound quality and video quality were superb.. i would highly recommend this to any death metal fan, especially if you're a huge fan of the band DEATH as I am.. I've had it for only 2 weeks now and probably watched it a dozen times! 🤘☠🤘 one of the best documentaries I have ever seen in my life! no lie, no joke, go buy it..NOW! you will not be disappointed🤘☠🤘

Excelso documental de la banda más importante del Death Metal. Abarca la historia de la agrupaciòn, desde una perspectiva que no se encuentra en ningún sitio de internet. Los comentarios van más allá del típico documental que se encarga de alabar a los protagonistas. Se nos muestra a un Chuck, comprometido y perfeccionista con su arte. Sólo músicos de compromiso absoluto pudieron trabajar con él. Vemos el lado más "musical" de Schuldiner, así como lo maravillosa persona que era. Se extrañan algunos ex integrantes como Masvidal por ejemplo, pero los testimonios son muy completos. Viene con subtítulos en inglés y español, así como con extras muy interesantes. Indispensable para todo fanático de Charles Michael Schuldiner.

Great film! I recommend it

Muy buen documental. Habla del lado más humano y personal de Chuck desde el inicio de su trayectoria hasta When Man & Machine Collide. Quizás lo más criticable es la edición, pudo ser mejor. Los subtítulos en español malísimos, con dedazos y sin sincronía. De allí en fuera vale la pena aventarse otro ángulo de este genio.

Cooolllll Death Live DVD

First off, this is a documentary so no it's not going to be a one sided view of what happened, making sure that Chuck is remembered in the best possible light. Yes they show some of the negative side of Chuck and I prefer that, having heard some of the news back int he day, it was obvious that there was some things that he done. What it does show is that that was likely done to drive the music forward, he had a vision and nothing would stand in his was in releasing his vision at each stage of his musical career. Lets face it, other musicians chose to work with him until the end!The documentary itself I would give 5 stars. It's a shame that it's not complete, I do acknowledge that some contributing artist were left out but then I'm expecting that those people chose not to be involved. Some of the extra's material is very good to including the live material and behind the scenes stuff.Removing a star as why wouldn't you release this as a Blu Ray! Although my DVD up-scaled well with playing on my PS4, I would have preferred this as the best quality available for all the modern material. As it is I may no have to buy on amazon prime video as well just to get the HD version of the main documentary.
