The Sound of Perseverance (1998) |
Live in L.A. (Death & Raw) (2001) |
The Sound of Perseverance is the seventh and final album released by Death in 1998.
This album, in particular, employs a style more akin to melodic death metal or progressive metal than the earliest Death releases, although since Human and the albums following it, the band had been developing more toward this style. The average song time on this album is around 6 minutes long.
Some of the song names on The Sound of Perseverance were originally going to appear on the first Control Denied album. When Death was signed on to Nuclear Blast, Chuck agreed to make one last Death album before moving forward with Control Denied.
"Spirit Crusher" was the single from this album, it featured a music video that was shot live.
