Death To All tour

A tribute to Chuck Schuldiner, legendary founder, guiatarist and voice of Death.

(ok I know this is of limited interest but there are a few metal heads here that might be close to one of these cities at the end of June. And Sweet Relief seems like a good cause.)

http://www.deathtoall.info/

DEATH TO ALL 2012 – In benefit of Sweet Relief. This 5 city tour will feature a majority of DEATH's amazing musicians, as well as special guests. This tour is to celebrate the life and music of Chuck Schuldiner, as well as to raise awareness of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund – a charity that provides financial assistance to career musicians faced with illness, disability or age-related problems.

The drums will be handled by Gene Hoglan (Individual Thought Patterns/Symbolic) and Sean Reinert (Human). On bass will be Steve DiGiorgio (Human/Individual Thought Patterns) and Scott Clendenin (The Sound of Perseverance). Guitar duties will be shared by Paul Masvidal (Human), Shannon Hamm (The Sound of Perseverance) and Bobby Koelble (Symbolic).

Here's some of my favorite Death Songs:

but I haven't seen that officially. Plus they don't say who all the special guests are so I imagine it might be a couple different singers depending on the song.

If Kam is the guy who sang on the Massacre records then I have no problem with that.

I'll be at that Orlando show for sure.

It took me a little while to get into the death growl vox instead of the actual singing like Maiden and Priest...

King Diamond is a good starting point - especially the KD album "Abigail" and his Mercyful Fate albums Melissa and Don't Break The Oath.

I loved the music so much that I kept tolerating the vocals and somewhere along the way I began loving the vocals. It helps to think of them as an additional percussive instrument rather than thinking of them as "not singing".

Death metal has been my favorite sub-genre of rock for a long time now.

We are very excited to announce Charles Elliott of ABYSMAL DAWN/BEREFT, as the first vocalist for the DEATH TO ALL TOUR 2012. Charles is an amazing singer, as well as guitarist, and we feel he will do these songs justice.

Some Charles for you perusal:

Let me just say that I don't pretend to be Chuck Schuldiner. I don't sound exactly like him and I'm not trying to, even if he is an influence of mine. Chuck was a unique individual, as am I. What I am trying to do though is humbly pay tribute to a man and band that changed my life, while supporting his family and a charity I believe in.

I'm OK with this. Plus there will be more announced soon.
