There’s bitter irony to the title of Death’s seventh and final studio release, but what a way for Chuck Schuldiner’s legendary outfit to go out. Since the early Eighties, he’d transformed the group from horror-obsessed death-metal developers into a philosophically potent, progressively brutalized juggernaut. Recorded with a whole new backing band, The Sound of Perseverance mixed jazz-chugged heaviness, neo-classical misery and ever-thrashing beats into a concussive closing statement of epic proportions.
