16 Jon a Qua - Take 6 (2:51) The Review Just as Motorhead is Lemmy, Chuck Schuldiner was Death. The man's personality, whims and wants are stamped all over every album the band put out and, of course, every album is different. That being said, it is very difficult to review ‘ Spiritual Healing’ objectively and independently of the other releases Chuck put his name to. Each album is a point in time and a snapshot of the erstwhile main man's musical vision at that point. Pdf2office Rapidshare Search.

Crucially, ‘ Spiritual Healing’ is something of a crossroads release. A new direction had been taken- this is not a re-hash of ‘ Leprosy’, nor is it ‘ The Sound Of Perseverance’. There are few who would argue that ‘ Scream Bloody Gore’ or “ Leprosy’ were progressive albums, but they do represent the birth of a genre and the pushing of the musical envelope. So too does ‘ Spiritual Healing’ push the envelope, but in a markedly different way. Once this re-issue is played, it is obvious that time has gone into the re-mastering process. The sound is bright and clear.

The vibe is very different to ‘ Leprosy’- this is NOT standard death/thrash fare. “Living Monstrosity” gives us traits of the old Death and points us in the direction of what was to come. Chuck's shriek/growl is present and correct, as are numerous time changes. The lead break at the mid way point would be in no way out of place on ‘ Individual Thought Patterns’ or even ‘ Symbolic’. Another crucial feature of the release is displayed here; time changes throughout the solos. ‘ And Justice for All’ must have been on Schuldiner's radar- the trait is shared by the two albums and it makes for a really quite progressive feel.

Not Opeth, perhaps, but far, far removed from Venom or Possessed. “Altering the Future” starts slow and doomy and a 3:4 (or is it 6/8?!) time signature is introduced. This lends the track a rather jazzy feel. It swings rather than shreds and dexterity is favoured over power and aggression- another signpost of things to come and makes the title rather apt.

“Defensive Personalities” starts with straight thrash and death metal riffs but at 1.26 there is a riff that would not be out of place on any one of the era's black metal releases. Harmony lead breaks and dropped snare beats abound giving again a proggy feel and structure. “Within the Mind” gives the listener another slower riff and overall pace with those signature time changes through the solos cropping up again. The title track follows with 7.45 or so of progressive death metal. There is genuine bile in the delivery of the vocals and lovely tempo changes to keep the listener guessing, the extended solo section at the midpoint is also an aural treat here.
