Spiritual Healing is the third album by death metal band Death, released in February 1990. The title comes from the era when faith healer Peter Popoff was exposed on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson by James Randi as a fraud. you are right about the religious hypocrisy part.
Chuck you are deeply missed and your music will always live on. Makes me wonder what genius he would have created with all that is going on with our society today
one of the Best Death Metal Recordings ever. two Guitar Gods together. James Murphy and Chuck Schuldiner(R.i.P) Edit: Bills Drumming is also Great on this Record
I just love the look on your face while you're listening to this. LMAO. Priceless. Next song you gotta do is Entombed Left Hand Path. It's my all time favorite death metal song.
everything theyve released up to their "sounds of perseverance" album is just a master class in death thrash and technical death metal. SoP isnt bad by any means at all, but its not really my style and i feel it pales in comparison to their earlier albums
This album is the River Stix of Chuck's career. The definition of the style growt from SBG thru Leprosy in Spiritual... End of the Page. But there's also a bite of what was yet to come! First time I listened to I don't really appreciate the change... Tird time Blow my mind and I realize how great was Chuck... Forgive my english,Hope u understand... Chuck is a little genious died too early
Chuck was a genius in his life, as a composer e writer, he was not worry to be the faster or heaviest, he was just chuck, he had with most of songwiriters did'nt have, feeling!!!
First time I saw Death (Amsterdam, 1995), I had a broken arm so I didn't plan on entering the pit. They opened with this track and I just lost my sh## up front. Amazing track, amazing tone, just an allround fantastic album. Great reaction, too!
Great video my good sir, im hitting the sub button right now 🤘😎🤘Chuck was an autodidact he was completely selftaught and had very little theoretical knowledge, imo thats what made his music so damn interesting and unique. He was truly a great musician and also he had a really big heart, he really loved animals 🐕 he was and still is a great inspiration, and a rolemodel, we should defenietly embrace his philosophies. ❤️ To the metalcommunity
I love most all genres of music. Chuck Shuldiner was a genius. He was a great guy, always had time to talk to fans. This isn't metal but I'd love to see your reaction and thoughts about Moonage Daydream by David Bowie ♥.
This song/album is what got me into death metal back in 92’ and I’ve never looked back. I love how metal is the fastest growing growing music in 2022. Long live death metal
Yes this album is the top of classic death metal for the band and open the era of more progressive, Human, Individual thoughts pattern, symbolic, the sound of perseverance
I love all their albums and back then especially their more progressive outputs. But nowadays the album I hear most is Spiritual Healing, especially when driving.
Crazy T how all this wonderful music just grips ya. I'm 48 and have always listened to metal and punk and love seeing you loving it all and acullty liking the stuff. We all love the big 4 but love death. I've been to alot of shows and live my life great with this music along for the whole ride of my live from 14 up loved venom subhumans violence decide sod clutch helmet mod meatmen mucky pup the dead milkmen GWAR, goul, muniible waste opeth to fucking many damn the 70S AND early 80S had good music wish I was born ten years sooner anyway T hope ya read this getting old trash metal punk heads commet. Thanks
Towards the end Chuck had another band that nobody talks about. Control Denied, it's not a death metal band and Chuck isn't singing, he wanted to do something outside of the tight confines death metal. Try Consumed off that album, fkin awesome.
Many Bands have this kind of albums, that came just between two Monsters " Leprosy" and "Human" for DEATH, and that tend to be less successfull, but are killers when you dive intro it. I love those albums ! Less known, for good reasons! but still killers when you check them After some Times.
Personally this band attraped me because of their progressive take on the metal genre. The more I listen to them the more I love all their music. The lyrics are incredible, very profound meanings. I would like you to react to flesh and the power it holds, it one of my favorites until now! From theis álbum The sound of perseverance, where I also suggest their Painkiller cover of the Judas Priest song. Great reactions Man!
This was the last Death album to feature bassist Terry Butler and drummer Bill Andrews... James Murphy on lead guitar. All were fired by Chuck, who recorded the 1991 album 'Human' w/ (the late) Sean Reinert (drums) & Paul Masvidal (lead guitar) of the band Cynic... and Steve DiGiorgio (bass) of Sadus. James Murphy recorded 2 albums w/ Testament - he recovered from a massive brain tumor after 2000, but hasn't done too much since... Terry Butler and Bill Andrews recorded a great death metal album 'From beyond' in 1991 w/ Kam Lee (vocals) and Rick Rozz (guitar) - all being former members of Death, under the name Massacre. It was very much in the style of Death's 'Spiritual healing'. Check out the track 'Cryptic realms' for a sample. Massacre didn't last long... Rick Rozz & Terry Butler did issue another Massacre album 'Back from beyond' in 2014, before they split again... I was lucky to see them live once. A 3rd Massacre album 'Resurgence' was released in 2021 w/ Kam Lee (vocals) and new members. Terry Butler (bass) had a long stint in the band Six Feet Under (w/ original Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes), but has been playing in old school death metal legends Obituary.
If somebody got mad at you for not liking The Philosopher that's very sad, how can you demand anybody else to like every fucking thing you like? It doesn't work like that 🤣🤣🤣
Great reaction friend !!!! .... ""Spiritual Healing" is by far my absolute favorite Death´s album .... is PERFECT. I love drummer Bill Andrews. it's so simple, precise, technical and every hit at the right time. Incredible !!!! ..... grettings from Chile !!
This bass player was the one who re-record the bass for Megadeth new album, yo can here the resemblance on the bass sound with well be back… Mr. Steve Degorgio one of my favorite bass player and an inspiration to me,
I miss your stream new schedule at work glad to see your enjoying one of my favorite bands. Don't feel bad about not enjoying the more technical stuff I can still listen to it but it's not my favorite. Peace out!
Many Death fans criticize this album simply because they were told, from the media, that it is a bad (or less good) album compared to all the others of the band. And simply because Chuck had a conflict with the members of that album and had to leave in the middle of the tour, and then take the band back from him after the tour was over. There is really no real reason to say that this album is inferior to Leprosy (in my opinion Spiritual Healing is superior and refines the formula started in Scream Bloody Gore). After this album Chuck's progressive madness begins and he releases 4 more albums that are masterpieces, starting with Human and ending with The Sound Of Perseverance. I appreciate your choice, because it is an album that is not recommended simply due to the pure prejudice of the band's own fans.
Regarding your thoughts on "The Philosopher"....music is typically a mood, my friend. One listen may not be the same as the next. Not to say that you will enjoy it the next time (if there is one), but it's safe to say that multiple listens will guarantee your actual feelings toward it. Personally, I would agree with you. "Individual Thought Patterns" and "Symbolic" are my least favorite of Death's catalog. Not to say they aren't great albums...just that my favorite version of Death is their thrashier albums. I love the content, T, and it's upwards and onwards from here!
