Chuck Schuldiner Live
On October 23, 1988, at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, Combat Records brought together five of their premier acts—Raven, Dark Angel, Death, Faith or Fear and Forbidden—to film the follow-up to their now-classic Ultimate Revenge home video, which featured Venom, Slayer and Exodus.

Led by the late Chuck Schuldiner on vocals and lead guitar, Death were the third band on the Ultimate Revenge 2 bill that evening, and burned through three cuts from their 1988 album, Leprosy—“Left to Die,” “Pull the Plug” and “Forgotten Past”—as well as “Denial of Life,” from their 1987 debut, Scream Bloody Gore.

Below, check out this rare footage of death metal’s genre-defining band in action.

    I want to thank guitarworld and Philly for release this videos. Chuck will live again in the heart who understand he and his arts. Not ever seen before a live shows of early Death, they are invented Death Metal and it’s a fact.
    Let’s now Chuck jam with Jon of Dissection and Doc of Vader, let the Chaos reign all over!!!
    Best regards to all who involved in Death Metal… STAY BRUTAL!

    God damn I somehow found this site and I happen to stumble upon this superb band known as ‘Death’ may I say these guys are awesome, love the time signatures and they pull it off so flawlessly. Sad to hear that this Chuck fellow is dead, I’m sure he’ll be greatly missed.

    Well I’m lovin’ this band, these guys fucking rule.

    This is about the tenth time ive come back to see the death videos…What a jaw dropping piece of video. I never got to see Death in concert, and this is just beyong crushing. I wonder what kind of music would Chuck be doing now, such an amazing talent, it always happens to the wrong people. Anyway, thanks so much for posting and keep it up, all these videos are wicked!

Truly an artist he was!!! So talented and full of inspiration.. The great Charles almighty… god I miss his. But still, his music will live forever. LET THE METAL FLOW…….

    not freshly uncovered but still awesome, should give credit to original cameraman and not watermark it with “metalkult” . Still amazing anyone cares about death since everybody copied KISS *Bangs head on studded wall*. Fuck shitty music pre-packaged filthy marketing tools to make crappy labels money. Also, if anyone buys Fate because of this and I see like 50 death shirts on the street tomorrow I just dont know…

    death was influenced but atheist and watchtower and cynic. check those bands out. They are pretty progressive stuff. but if your a music fan you will love it. tech all the way. not much can be said by me about death that isnt already said. Truly one of the greatest bands.

    Chuk’s legacy will live for ever…those who love his art will keep it into our hearts, Death is poetry, is philosophy, is a teaching of how through perseverance, passion and love we can reach anything we want. We’ll be missing you always…may you rest in peace brother
