Control Denied powstało z inicjatywy kultowego muzyka - Chucka Schuldinera i właśnie w tym projekcie Schuldiner pokazuje swoje power metalowe oblicze, jednak cały czas w brzmieniu tym obecne są również elementy death metalu, tak charakterystyczne dla jego macierzystej kapeli - Death. Schuldiner powołał do życia ten projekt, aby tworzyć bardziej melodyjną muzykę, niż mógł to robić w Death. Chociaż grupa powstała w 1996 roku, to debiutancki krążek "The Fragile Art Of Existence" wydany został 3 lata później, na drodze 'stanął' mu "The Sound of Perseverance" Death (1998). Choć wkrótce pojawiły się plany na kolejną płytę, nie zostały one zrealizowane z powodu niespodziewanej śmierci Schuldinera i "Fragile Art..." pozostał jednym studyjnym krążkiem w dorobku Control Denied.
There are several reasons for Control Denied to be taken much more seriously than just a side-project. One of them is certainly the name of the group's founder - Chuck Schuldiner to this day remains an icon of death metal music, leaving behind a true legacy of amazing albums and memorable songs. Control Denied was his final and most personal creation - a natural continuation of the ideas gathered in Death's three last albums - "Individual Thought Patterns", "Symbolic" and "The Sound of Perseverance". Although musically the group ventured away from death metal into a bit lighter style, the progressive edge remained untouched - the band's debut (and, as it was soon to be revealed, only) album, "The Fragile Art Of Existence" is still one of Schuldiner's most fruitful efforts, showcasing mature, structured musicianship and amazing songwriting skills. And today Metal Mind Productions present re-release of this unique album by Control Denied. New digipak edition, limited to numerated 2000 copies, digitally remastered using 24-Bit process on golden disc.
The band Control Denied was formed by Chuck Schuldiner to create power metal, mixed with elements of death metal recognizable in his earlier band Death. The band started in 1996 as Schuldiner wanted to procure a more melodic style than was possible with Death. The project was interrupted by Death's release The Sound of Perseverance in 1998 but finally the debut album was released in 1999. |
