"I arrived at Orlando international and just grabbed my stuff at the luggage return, when Chuck, Scott, Chris and Shannon came running and screaming through the hallway like pack of wild dogs yelling, 'Tim Scream, Tim Scream,' my new nickname which later, at the house I found inscribed on a half gallon bottle of Jim Beam. But no, as it turns out, he was one of the few people in this biz that didn't. I thought maybe there was a chance he was blowing a bit of smoke up my ass, because that's just what some people do. With that in mind, we set a date and I flew down to meet him and do the audition. There's a bit of everyone we both liked in there, a bit of Dio, Halford, Tyler, Gillan, Bonnet, all the best screamers in the biz. He said he wanted me to audition because from what he'd heard already from PSYCHO SCREAM, my voice had all the qualities he had been looking for since he began his journey into metal. We talked about our tastes in music and inspirations and our idols. We both understood the seriousness of the business at hand, but neither of made it seem anything but exciting and fun, and that was awesome. The voice on the phone was just a guy like me, an easy-going, slow-talking hippie with a burning passion for metal. I mean, after all, just listen to Gene Hoglan's drumming and the command of Chuck's blood-soaked screaming, and you'll know what I mean. My bandmate, co-writer and dear friend Jimmy Dofka from PSYCHO SCREAM had turned me on to DEATH a few months before, and the picture I had in my mind of Chuck, judging only by how precise and beautifully violent that music is, was of a brutal tyrant. We first talked over the telephone, and he was not at all like what I had expected him to be. ![]() "When I first talked to Chuck about auditioning for a new band he was working on, an extension of his former band DEATH which he called CONTROL DENIED. "Those who know Chuck's music from DEATH and CONTROL DENIED have faithfully and patiently awaited the announcement of the completion of Chuck's dying wish, which is to get the final CONTROL DENIED record out to you, and along with my other bandmates, I am extremely happy to be here to fulfill the promise I made a decade ago. In a new posting on Chuck's official web site, Empty Words, Aymar had the following to say regarding the forthcoming CONTROL DENIED album: ![]() It deserves to be finished by the rest of the band and to be released on a full-length album, titled: 'When Machine And Man Collide'." Mudvayne the end of all things to come rar for free#( Karmageddon Media - formerly Hammerheart Records - has since issued various incomplete demo recordings as two separate low-quality albums, "Zero Tolerance" and "Zero Tolerance II".)Ĭhuck's mother, Jane Schuldiner, previously stated about the unfinished recordings: " last masterpiece deserves more than to be released as unfinished bits of rehearsal room recordings on CD, or to be grabbed for free on the Internet. The remaining members of the group - bassist Steve DiGiorgio, vocalist Tim Aymar, guitarist Shannon Hamm, and drummer Richard Christy - subsequently announced their desire to complete the album and release it in Chuck's memory, but legal hassles between Schuldiner's family and Hammerheart Records (to whom Chuck was signed at the time of his death) put the entire project on hold. The family of late DEATH/ CONTROL DENIED mastermind Chuck Schuldiner is moving ahead with plans to complete and eventually release the long-awaited second CONTROL DENIED album.Ĭhuck - who passed away in December 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor - began work on the CD, tentatively titled "When Machine And Man Collide", but never managed to finish the effort before his health quickly deteriorated in the months leading up to his tragic death. ![]()
