Customer Reviews the best death metal there is? Did they invent the genre of death metal? It's likely. Death is an extremely technical, heavy, extreme metal band. Did they prefect the music known as death metal? Yes. Chuck is (was, RIP) an amazing musician and great with ideas and created things nobody else thought of before. Death was a legendary band for a reason, they defined an era. Richard Christy, the drummer on this album, is amazing. Maybe the best metal drummer next to Dave Lombardo from Slayer. This is an essential CD for anyone interested in death metal or any fan of "very" heavy metal. I don't listen to a lot of death metal really, I'm more into faster thrashy stuff like Slayer and Megadeth or older metal like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest or punk stuff like Minor Threat and Dead Kennedys. But I have the utmost respect for Death, the musicianship just can't be denied and the brute force of The Sound of Perservance, I can't help but be in awe. Really the only "death metal" bands I like are Death and Morbid Angel, and Death is the top of the genre for sure, and The Sound of Perservance is one heck of a CD. Greatest Metal Album EVER Thats My opinion. . no other album has the insane riffs, emotional feelings throughout, Technical out of this world drumming, chuck makes his solos weep, so beautiful. . . And to top it off the LYRICS are phenominal. R. I. P CHuck. Death Metal Genius I think this album and the other 2 before it fall under a new category that isn't exaclty Death metal. What Can I say about Death that hasn't been said? Chuck was a true metal god and this album is just a confirmation of that. True, it still has all the brutality of death metal, not to mention that Chuck was a founding father of the genre. But this band goes way beyond death metal to a far superior category. For those of us that are prog fans as well as metal fans this album has the best of both worlds. The perfect blend of brutality and absolute virtuosity. It's sad to coem to grips with the fact that that we will never hear a new album from this amazing band. Standouts are: "Scavenger of human Sorrow", "Spirit Crusher", "Flesh and the Power it Holds", the beautiful ballad "Voice of the Soul","To Forgive is to Suffer". Anyway one of the best metal albums ever. A must for any music fan period!!! R. I. P. Chuck. . You can see a complete list of all Death discography, or go back to the Death tabs
