I am Beth Schuldiner, Chuck Schuldiner’s sister. Please read the
Press Release below and pass it to as MANY people as you can. After
years of legal wrangling, we are about to have the band go back to the
studio and finish (Done RIGHT this time!-No Zero Tolerance Bullshit!)
the very last music Chuck recorded; “When Man & Machine Collide”.
This is a very important project for 3 reasons. 1.) Chuck’s
Fans/Friends deserve to hear the final work. 2.) Chuck wanted this
last work out as the first Control Denied work had attempted to be
sabotaged by Paula Hogan, then of Nuclear Blast America; it was
EXTREMELY important to Chuck to not have history repeat itself, so
important in fact, he spent thousands upon thousands in Legal fees to
get that second work out of that Label’s control. 3.) And not the
least of which, I promised Chuck that we would finish the album & get
is released; PROMISED.

The prizes of the Giveaway are AWESOME! Chuck’s own Personal BC Rich
Guitar and touring amps, Marshalls, are 1st Place!

I encourage and ask all of you to pass this along; EVERYWHERE you can
think of I don’t know if you guys realize the Power you wield, but I
DO! I remember all to well when we had ONLY $80,000 to place as a
deposit for a brain surgery for Chuck. The hospital wanted way more.
Your calls & outrage prompted Kurt Loder/MTV to immediately do a story
on this battle, Chuck’s battle. They ran the story every hour on the
hour. Chuck got a big kick out of the fact that he was placed between
two other stories, Brittany Spears & Christina Agulara (not well
known-Chuck had a crush on Christina Agulara!) He’d kill me for
telling ANYONE that! The hospital “gave in” and took the original
money we had offered as deposit. Point being, that while Chuck lost
the eventual battle when the brain tumor reared its ugly head again,
approximately one year after surgery, every one together, TOGETHER,
gave him one more quality year; a year of hope.

I now ask all of you to use that very power to help get this last work
through the studio & pressing process and into your hands.

Let’s help keep the Metal flowing………….

Very Sincerely & with much gratitude,
Beth Schuldiner
