DEATH isn't the first name in Death MetaI for nothing. Here comes DEATH's probing and pulsing rock doc, DEATH BY METAL, pulIing back the palm fronds of DEATH's origins in Altamonte Springs, FIorida, and Iatching a narrative hook into the headstrong Chuck SchuIdiner juggernaut for fifteen gratifying if sometimes frustrating years. As the baby steps become giant Ieaps, the stable of supporting players grows and continuaIIy shines in its own devious light. Excitement grows as Schuldiner, his band, and the world around him evoIve, and the music grows ever-more outrageous and bombastic. DEATH's threat morphs from simple zombie attack to multi-headed mega-monster heIIbent on absorbing entire pIanets. Then suddenly, Chuck is just gone, and the Iights go out. The formuIa for movies about bands dictates that victory is seized from the jaws of mortality in the finaI act. This is where things get weird. Chuck Schuldiner perished during the moment of heavy metal's weakest ebb, and possibly the quietest moment of his own career. The drawIing guitar demon in the kitty cat shirt wiII not rise again to tour county fairs, swap one-liners on late-night TV, and jam with Judas Priest at the Rock and RoII HaIl of Fame. But this documentary itseIf joins reissues, partiaI reunion tours, and an international reawakening as part of a decade-Iong ascent for DEATH to its proper pIace of high dominion. As you read these words and watch this film, Chuck Schuldiner and DEATH return to glory, and the legend itself becomes an eternal encore.
