Chuck died on December 13, 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor.

I'd consider checking this out if it came closer.



But are there no vocals? And no James Murphy?

I wondered why Gene pulled out of the Fear Factory tour.

Nowhere NEAR WV I would gather

Its probably only gonna be those 5 shows

ABYSMAL DAWN Frontman To Handle Lead Vocals On 'Death To All Tour 2012' - Mar. 20, 2012





Sick Drummer Magazine and Perseverance Holdings Ltd. have announced the "Death To All Tour 2012" in benefit of Sweet Relief.

The first vocalist to be announced for the "Death To All Tour 2012" is Charles Elliott of ABYSMAL DAWN and BEREFT.



Commented Elliott: "'Who the hell is Charles Elliott?' is what I imagine some people saying as they're reading this announcement. It's true — compared to some of the legends associated with these amazing shows, I'm the new kid on the block. Even when they asked me to do it I was somewhat reluctant and suggested numerous other artists who I thought sounded more like Chuck and have been around longer, i.e. John Tardy, Martin Van Drunen, Luc Lemay, etc. In the end, I think they chose me to perform some of these songs because I'm a huge DEATH fan and because, more than anything, they felt I'm part of a newer generation embodying the overall spirit of Chuck. I'm glad they asked me though because playing with these guys is more than a dream come true and I couldn't be more excited about it.



"Let me just say that I don't pretend to be Chuck Schuldiner. I don't sound exactly like him and I'm not trying to, even if he is an influence of mine. Chuck was a unique individual, as am I. What I am trying to do though is humbly pay tribute to a man and band that changed my life, while supporting his family and a charity I believe in. I know some people will inevitably talk shit no matter what, but now at least I've said my piece.



"My first band INHUMAN VISIONS opened up for DEATH back in 1998 at what would become the infamous 'Live In L.A.' show. I was just a kid and I think if you listen closely at the very end of the show, you can hear me screaming, 'Thank you, DEATH' on the DVD. That statement is as true as it was in that life-changing moment as it is now.



"Thank you, Chuck Schuldiner, for a legacy of metal that left a lasting impression on me. I hope to do you justice, as the fans and musicians you touched all gather to pay tribute to you and your music. Let the metal flow."



The dates are as follows:



June 22 - The Regency Ballroom - San Francisco, CA

June 23 - House of Blues – West Hollywood, CA

June 26 - House of Blues - the official city of the chicago cubs, IL

June 28 - Irving Plaza – New York, NY

June 30 - The Beacham - lummo's cowtown, FL

That hard-on bearer

i now khav an urge to jam symbolic

Cool choice of vocalist.

I've never been able to get into abysmal dawn

They should have guest vocalists who were part of the scene from back then. Can you imagine Chris Reifert belting out the Scream Bloody Gore stuff or John Tardy singing Pull the Plug or Open Casket??? Lost interest in Death when Symbolic came out. Way too soft to be a death metal album. Patrick Mameli would also kill this vocally. He was like Chuck's nemesis back in the day. Good publicity for Abysmal Dawn. You can see Relapse's influence/decision right there.

man, i wish this were closer to me than NYC. i mean, death without chuck on vocals? sign me right the fuck up!

They've since announced that the hard-on bearer from Obscura is doing vocals too. Does that change things?

when he opens his mouth, does shitty useless obscura music come out of it?

No, but awesome, sexy obscura music does.
