Over 20 years after the tragic passing of Chuck Schuldiner, dozens of former members of his influential band DEATH continue to break new ground and make an impact on metal. We catch up with an all-star array of players from all seven Death studio albums and more, including guitarists Rick Razz, James Murphy, Paul Masvidal, Matt Olive, and Andy LaRocque; bassists Terry Butler and Steve DiGiorgio, singer Kam Lee, and drummers Chris Reifert, Gene Hoglan, and Richard Christy. Let the metal flow—and Know your Roots!
Trace the many faces in Death through metal history in CHOOSING DEATH: The Improbable History of Death Metal & Grindcore, by Albert Mudrian, at BAZILLION POINTS BOOKS.
