Human started to break Death to a wider audience, after Chuck Schuldiner nearly disbanded the group. Schuldiner's playing has improved immensely since Scream Bloody Gore, as have his compositional skills. He writes strange, dissonant, harmonized guitar lines and is one of the few death metal songwriters who changes moods and textures over the course of an album; Human's second half is actually almost subdued by death metal standards. ~ Steve Huey
DEATH, the heavy metal institution founded, realized, and helmed by legendary guitarist Chuck Schuldiner, released its legendary fourth studio album Human to massive worldwide critical acclaim in 1991. The album's complex and progressive music and introspective lyrics marked a massive stylistic change away from the more primitive early material for the group, and Human went on to become one of the most influential metal records in the history of the genre. Remixed under the watchful eye of longtime DEATH producer Jim Morris, the fully-realized version of this epic album is now represented.
Death includes: Chuck Schuldiner (vocals, guitar); Paul Masvidal (guitar); Steve DiGiorgio (bass); Sean Reinert (drums).
