DEATH/ CONTROL DENIED'S CHUCK SCHULDINER SPEAKS OUT
Greetings metal people of the world. Usually I wait until the launch of a new record to initiate media contact but for several reasons I'm contacting the world to properly inform everyone as to what is going on with the now completed CONTROL DENIED debut release, "The Fragile Art Of Existence". The album turned out crushing and I promise will be worth the wait and anticipation that has surrounded the birth of this extension of my musical career. Alongside Jim Morris (producer of Death's two previous releases) who has engineered and produced this album, I was thrilled to be joined once again by Richard Christy(drums) and Shannon Hamm (guitar) who both appeared on "The Sound of Perseverance", one of my best friends and favorite bass players, Steve DiGiorgio as well as the killer addition of Tim Aymar of Psycho Scream (vocals)!! We are all very excited about what we have accomplished with this record which contains the same attitude and sincerity that people have come to expect from my passion for trend-free metal! Typically after recording a new record we all go out and celebrate. This time things were different. Toward the end of our time in the studio, I started experiencing some pain in my upper neck which I initially thought was a pinched nerve or strained muscle. Having completed the recording I consulted with a chiropractor followed by a massage therapist and acupuncturist who recommended I go for an MRI which is a special type of x-ray used to get a detailed picture of the nerve and brain tissue. Well, I was right about the pinched nerve but unfortunately it was being caused by a brain stem tumor. At the time of this press release, I am in my fourth week of radiation therapy with some of the most sought-after physicians in the field. I am also blessed with the immense love and support from my family and friends which is such a big part of getting through something like this. To try to put this into simple terms is obviously difficult but let me say this: it is a mind, body and soul expanding experience. The treatment has been going well and with this type of aggressive radiation the prognosis is very good. Patience is something I have learned to embrace in my fourteen years of living music and now it is time to further master the art of patience on my road to recovery. I've always felt a personal connection between the music and the fans/friends who support it. It is that support, that goes beyond the music itself, which I appreciate with all my heart and soul. Let the metal flow...
Sincerely, Chuck Schuldiner
