Where is the second Control Denied album WMAMC? *BAD NEWS*

Watch the full interview here:

[DaleLyons]

Absolutely heartbreaking news. For 15 years I have been waiting endlessly for it's release. Those 4 demo (?) tunes that were released years ago, I listen to them all the time! Chuck was a mastermind.

To give my 2¢ worth:

If the digital files are so corrupted, then have the lineup from the 1st CD album record it, and re-do Chuck's parts. I know it would not actually be Chuck playing his parts, but at least those masterful riffs, solos and vocals will be heard by the world.

As a huge Death fan for 27 years, it would leave a huge hole in my life and soul to never hear these final masterworks from The Man's incredible creative mind. Chuck's last works deserve to see the light of day!

[Ebastine]

"It's out of my control..". Could you say, Control Denied?

[mamesushi]

It's sad because Chuck seemed really excited about this album, and as he only kept improving with each new work, I know it'd be great. Technology has improved since then, so maybe it's easier to restore those files nowadays, with new software and stuff. I hope they don't give up on this, because it's legacy, and if they don't finish this, no one will.
Best luck to them. Support music, not rumors

[AlanDeath]

Hi guys. I think "Never" is a strong word for it. Steve said it is being hard but never said it cannot be done. Today they might have technology issues but who knows someday from now? He didn't sound like he gave up (i can be wrong, but i hope not) and i still have faith we will be able to hear some of the tracks of this album.

[kellymacdonald]

I feel devastated about this. :( The first album was brilliant, and I just know that the second would be too. :(

[primalscream]

É uma pena que essa obra de arte não seja produzida.Eu sonho que albúm um dia seja feito.

Greetings from Brazil!

[drakemandirez]

There's a tribute album here on YT and Spotify called "When Man and Machine Collide: A Tribute to Control Denied" where the unreleased second album demos are reworked with added vocals (using Chuck's lyrics), fretless DiGiorgio style bass, and pro drums. Stay metal! 🤘

[Lukasz_KLAT]

It's sound like total bullshit for me.

If a had friend, musician that died and left music I would record it immediately.
What are the "legal issues"? Nuclear Blast or Relapse don't want to make a shitload of money on this album or what?


Also there is interview with Chuck's mother:

"If it could not be done the way Chuck asked, it wouldn't be done at all. That was the question, and it has been answered. It will be done, and exactly as Chuck asked. I would feel absolute dejection if that work was not released, only I was there to see the condition he was in as Chuck struggled to finish what he could, and all the time while seeing to his wishes that it be done as he asked. Well, there will be an announcement any day now by the label who was chosen to see it completed."

What does it mean?
Chuck wanted to release this cd in 24 carat gold package or what?

Don't get me wrong - I'm not disrespectful to anyone involved here - His family, His bandmates, or whoever else.
It's just seems like all these people involved don't want this record hard enough.

It's fucking 15 years of procrastination if (as I get it from this interview with Steve DiGiorgio) the bandmates didn't even transcribed and learn riffs that ARE DEMO RECORDED!

It's not some mystical energy that hold this record back, it's the people that should care the most.

[strangecorgi]

It really hit me when he said it was out of his control. Get it? Yeah. It sucks, but at least we have the demos for WMAMC at all. Although Sybmolic is my favorite Death album, I consider TSOP as my favorite Control Denied album (considering it was supposed to be the first CD record), and of course The Fragile Art of Existence is fantasatic. I just think it's sad that things didn't turn out the way they hoped... their control over their fate truly was denied. Let's just be thankful that Chuck acomplished so much in his life.

[messiasjunior]

Sad news. For Chuck and for the fans...

[vincentzombi]

I'm a little late to the party but I too am sad about the project.. but they did all they can do.. and I appreciate everything as a death/Chuck fan.. but I hope I can get some answers on the death by metal documentary that was spost to come out? I haven't heard anything or seen.. if anybody has the answer to my question It will be greatly appreciated.. till then like Chuck always said "keep the metal faith alive"

[xRunner]

Honestly, someone should setup a crowdfunding. Money would very likely solve any problem, and I bet they could get a ton of support. Legal, Tech, and Time commitment issues can all be solved with $

[deadasfak]

Hey, he didn't say never! But holy crap that's a lot of blunder in the way. And I thought it was laziness. Hopefully it'll see the light of day someday. I'd be happy with a badly produced demo.

[BaronHerezus]

I think that i'm hearing a lot of excuses. I mean i can understand that ppl have their on lives and projects to go on with, and maybe it was to painful to work on this project in the beginning, but i think the guys should have put some more effort in to it, and make it happen in Chucks memory.

[thrashmetalhitecable]

that is a shame this album or demo never gonna be released

[ChrisKyle]

They could at least release what they have for the fans. Most will understand if it’s not perfect.

[getbig]

i think this is the right thing ... 'cause if the album wouldnt be as how chuck wanted it to be, album shouldnt be released

[ikon]

and now tim aymar is gone so we will for sure never get it

[Slayer]

They should just release what they have so far then add along the way. Even if its just Chuck's material.

[junlee]

is there anywhere i can listen to this
