THE SOUND OF PERSEVERANCE

This album, release in 1998, is the best album by Death, in my opinion. The vocals are quite sick because Chuck Schuldiner sings much higher than on the previous albums. The drummer is really amazing. He plays a lot of great fills and I enjoy his skills.

But why is this album such a milestone for me? Well, it has a strange feeling in it. Sometimes you only hope that the record stops but in other days you get a lot of power from it. You can really feel that Chuck wanted to revolutionise the Death Metal genre with this album.

I think that every song here is listenable but a few totally stand out. Voice of the soul, Spirit Crusher, Story to tell, the Painkiller cover. Voice of the soul is a really great instrumental with only three guitars playing it. In this song you can't find anymore Death Metal. Story to tell are nice melodic Metal songs with a lot of breaks. Spirit Crusher andThey can be quite wierd when you listen to them for the first time. Painkiller is a cover version. Painkiller was written by Judas Priest 1990. Rob Halford screams like a beast but Chuck Schuldinger seems to be the devil on this track. Such an extreme vocal style isn't from this earth.

You must engage in this record but it's worth.
