Death - 'Spirit Crusher' - Live in Eindhoven '98 - [10-11][HD]

-----------------------LYRICS AND INFO-----------------------------

*** Lyrics ***

It comes from the depths
of a place unknown to the
keeper of dreams
if it could then it would steal
the sun and the moon from the sky
beware

Human at sight, monster at heart
don't let it inside it could
tear you right apart

No guilt, it feeds in plain sight
Spirit Crusher
Stay strong and hold on tight
Spirit Crusher

Speaking in killing words

The vicious kind that crush and kill
no mercy, its pleasure to taste
The blood that it bled.

[Solo Schuldiner / Hamm]

When it's time to feed to fulfill
the need to consume a breath
some will rise standing tall
breathing out all the breath from
the voice of a soul.

2:17 All metalcore bands owe Chuck this riff

[AaronKaiMCDNLD]

I have like 10 favorite riffs of all time and 6 of them are all within this song alone.

[eusedh]

Chuck makes it look easy and so does Richard Christy, incredible drumming

[TrinityMartin]

Man, some killer guitar riffs in this track. Chuck = legendary guitar player.

[JadeHarpy]

Cranked treble, prolly 7 or 8 on midrange, 5 on the bass, full overdrive, and a touch of reverb for good measure. That's what I use when I want to sound like Chuck, and it comes across pretty well to my ears.

[residentleon]

they're trying to clap but the time signature kills LMAO

[unfurl]

This in maximum volume is the "sound of perfection"

[therockchannel]

1:18 one of the best heaviest riffs ever

[misanthrope]

I gotta say spirit crusher is probably my favorite death song

[infernalsquid]

As a bassist - came for Scott's bass intro, stayed for Chuck's playing.

[AshenRJ]

Chuck, while singing: *scream bloody banshee*
Also Chuck, at the end: "Thank you :)"

[Matt_MetalStuff]

This happens when you dedicate your life to music.
Love it.

[tonyking]

I was Richard's drum tech, best time ever man hes a great guy and friend 🤘

[PassTheCemeteryGates]

There's so many layers to Richard's drumming. All the intricate little cymbal work blows my mind I don't even know how to describe it.

[stevesands]

awesome band RIP CHUCK SCHULDINER never forgotten godfather of death metal!!!! :-)

[simeonangelov]

I just read Chuck's story. It's so sad!! I can't believe that such a musician and person died like that! The World is so cruel. I hope he is in better place now !!

[educostanzo]

I had this concert in a VHS tape recorded from a friend back in the day. Never heard anything like this at the time... the intricate drumming, the massive riffs, the tempo shifts, the unexpected cymbal swells and chokes, the philosophical lyrics. Groundbreaking stuff.

[dyziu]

Chuck and Scott i miss You brothers, R.I.P

[Deathrvsher]

death is fucking brutal!!! ther the only band without a bad album ! RIP Chuck

[royasaifi]

A LEGEND WAS BORN BUT THEN GONE TO FAST. 😢😢
