![]() "Born Dead" and "Forgotten Past" retain Schuldiner's signature guitar virtuosity, with the enhanced mix adding to the darkness of the original album. Schuldiner's from-Hell growls are more frightening, and his guitar work, along with Rick Rozz, stands out even more than on previous versions. The titular opening track, "Leprosy" features drums with a noticeably louder machine-gun like attack and precision that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The new version takes the power of the original release and amplifies it, making Schuldiner's opus more punishing. ![]() From the moment the album starts, the difference is apparent. Originally released in 1988, Leprosy was the second album in Death's discography, and also the second to recently receive the remastering treatment via Relapse. ![]() Schuldiner's untimely death in 2001 from brain cancer put a final halt to both projects. While players rotated in and out of the influential band, Schuldiner was the driving force behind Death from its inception until he shifted focus from the band in favor of a newer, more melodic project, Control Denied. ![]() Formed in Orlando in the late 80's, Chuck Schuldiner (guitar/vocals) defined a style of extreme music with his band, Death. It's hard to argue with a band's legacy when an entire subgenre is named after it.
