What music are you listening to? (music edition)

They sounded really well. Played fast, brutal, and with some sense of melody. Maybe they weren’t the best musicians in the World but they had something to say.

Some notes on his dead. This says much about the American Healthcare system:

About two years after his original diagnosis, in May 2001, the cancer returned and Schuldiner began to feel ill again. He was at first unable to afford the surgery that he needed immediately. A press release called for support from everyone, including fellow artists. Jane Schuldiner urged all who read the statements about Schuldiner and his illness to go out and get insurance, stating her frustration in the American healthcare system. Schuldiner had taken out medical insurance after his first surgery, but the insurer had refused to pay because the tumor pre-dated insurance being taken out. Many artists, including Kid Rock, Korn and Red Hot Chili Peppers, got together during the summer of 2001 to auction off personal items, with the funds assisting Schuldiner’s medical expenses, an effort covered by MTV.[19] Matt Heafy, vocalist and guitarist for Trivium has also stated that the band had played a benefit show for Schuldiner while he was in the hospital in their days as a local band.[20] Schuldiner received chemotherapy with vincristine. Like most drugs used in the treatment of cancer, the side effects were harsh and weakened him greatly. In November 2001, Schuldiner’s condition worsened as he became ill with pneumonia.

On December 13, 2001, Schuldiner died at the age of 34
