This month’s Decibel Magazine has devoted 12-pages and one striking cover to an all-encompassing oral history on DEATH and its founder Chuck Schuldiner. This exclusive feature includes in-depth interviews with Schuldiner’s parents, former DEATH manager and current Schuldiner lawyer Eric Greif, support musicians from all of the DEATH recordings, and industry insiders who saw the band develop into its now legendary status.

Additionally, Guitar World Magazine is currently hosting a contest in conjunction with the re-issue of The Sound of Perseverance offering a BC Rich Chuck Schuldiner Tribute Stealth guitar. One of the most recognized of Chuck’s guitars, this sleek neck through body, pitch-black Stealth also features jumbo frets, beveled top style, and Dimarzio X2N pickups. The contest is open to U.S. residents and ends on February 15th. Complete contest rules and information can be found here.
