Early life

Schuldiner was born on Long Island, New York, on May 13, 1967. Mal Schuldiner, a Jewish immigrant, and his mother Jane Schuldiner, a German immigrant, had immigrated to Judaism. His family immigrated to Florida in 1968. He began playing guitar at the age of 9. He went classical lessons for less than a year in which his teacher taught him "Mary had a Little Lamb," which he didn't like very much, and almost stopped altogether until his parents bought him an electric guitar at a yard sale. The young Schuldiner took to the instrument quickly and began playing, writing, and instructing himself. He was expected to spend the weekend in the garage or his bedroom playing his guitar, but during weekdays, school was only allowed to three hours. Schuldiner played in public in his early teen years.

Schuldiner was inspired by Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Kiss and classical jazz, among other things. He was particularly keen on the metal band known as NWOBHM – New Wave of British Heavy Metal – and listed bands from that genre as one of his favorites. Sortilège, France's best-known metal band, was often cited as his personal favorite metal group. Later influences, including Slayer, Celtic Frost, Possessed, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, and Metallica, were among his later influences that led him to write more. Schuldiner used to be influenced by progressive metal bands such as Watchtower, Coroner, and Queensrche later in his career. Schuldiner's mother's testimony on the Schuldiner's website, Empty Words, shows that he loved all sorts of music except country and rap. In addition to heavy metal and British alternative bands such as Lush, he loved jazz and classical music.

Schuldiners did well in school before becoming bored with education and eventually dropping out. He later regretted this decision. He has stated that if he did not become a musician, he would not have liked to become a surgeon or a cook.

Schuldiner, drawing inspiration from Nasty Savage, created Death as Mantas in 1983, when he was just 16 years old. Schuldiner (guitar), Rick Rozz (guitar), and Kam Lee (drums and vocals). Schuldiner moved to Toronto and briefly joined the Canadian band Slaughter in January 1986. However, he was able to revive the creation of Death quickly.

Many of the Death Lines changed. Schuldiner's first Death album, Scream Bloody Gore, was released in 1989 by Chris Reifert. He continued with Leprosy in 1988, with former Mantas guitarist Rick Rozz and rhythm section Terry Butler on bass, and Bill Andrews on drums, and 1990's Spiritual Healing, where guitarist James Murphy had replaced Rozz in 1989.

Schuldiner stopped working with full-time band members after Spiritual Healing, preferring to work with studio and live venue performers due to his inability with Death's former rhythm section and guitarists. Schuldiner now has a reputation in the metal industry as a 'perfectionist'. Schuldiner had previously fired Eric Greif, but re-hired him shortly after the recording of his next, important release.

The band's debut album, Human, saw them adapting to a more modern and progressive style in which Schuldiner's guitar skills improved more than ever. He continued in this style (and extended the band's success) with 1993's Individual Thought Patterns, 1995's Symbolic, and then The Sound of Perseverance in 1998.

After this to continue Control Denied, which he had been working on prior to the introduction of The Sound of Perseverance's and the publication of The Fragile Art of Existence in 1999, he put Death on hold. Denied also had other members from the new Death album, but it did not have a melodic metal vocalist. Schuldiner played guitar in the "supergroup" Voodoocult on the album Jesus Killing Machine in 1994 and appeared on Naphobia's 1995 release, Of Hell on the track "As Ancients Evolve" as a favor to the band's bassist, who was a mentor of Schuldiner's. Schuldiner was also selected to be one of the many guest vocalists on Dave Grohl's 2001 Probot. Grohl, Napalm Death, Ozzy Osbourne, and Anthrax have all increased their attempts to raise funds for Schuldiner's medical bills, with Grohl attempting to include Schuldiner on an album he was working on. Schuldiner discussed why he didn't perform on the Control Denied album The Fragile Art of Existence "these vocals are all I ever wanted to do in Death but couldn't. I've been dreaming of recording like this for years, but it seems as if it's a dream come true. Tim Aymar is a natural performer, and here's what makes the difference. People will be surprised by the album's brutality and tenacity. Many people are expecting something like Iron Maiden, but I didn't want to make an Iron Maiden-like album despite being one of my favorite bands. I wanted to make an unpredictable album, as I did in Death. I don't like to make predictable albums."

Schuldiner was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1999. He continued to work on his music, as well as his Interaction with Control Denied. He was unable to afford the surgery that he needed right away. Anyone, including fellow artists, needs help from a press release. Jane Schuldiner urged anyone who read the school reports to get insurance, expressing her dissatisfaction with the American healthcare system. Since his first surgery, Schuldiner had taken out medical insurance, but the insurer refused to pay because the cancer pre-dated insurance was not valid. Several artists, including Kid Rock, Korn, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, banded together in the summer of 2001 to sell personal items, with the proceeds funding Schuldiner's medical expenses, which was not covered by MTV. Matt Heafy, a singer and guitarist for Trivium, has also stated that his band performed a benefit show for Schuldiner when he was in the hospital in their days as a local band. Schuldiner's illness worsened in November 2001 as he developed Pneumocystis carinii.

Schuldiner died on December 13, 2001, at the age of 34, and was cremated. Dave Grohl, Mike Patton, Max Cavalera, King Diamond, Ville Valo, Trey Azagthoth, Glen Benton, Jason Newsted, Corey Taylor, and all current and former Death participants attended his memorial service, according to MTV.

Former Schuldiner's son Eric Greif handled his legacy as President of Perseverance Holdings Ltd. Schuldiner's mother Jane and sister Beth Schuldiner have expressed many times that they love his music, and both have expressed numerous times that they enjoy his music. Greif maintained track of his recordings and handled Schuldiner's intellectual property. Beth Schuldiner's son, Christopher Steele, is also a guitarist and has all of Schuldiner's guitars. In addition, BC Rich's 2008 catalog contained a note that Schuldiner's signature model Stealth will be available for purchase, and Steele will handle the endorsement.

In the area around Orlando, Schuldiner had homes and two dogs. Schuldiner built a studio inside the garage, where many of his songs, including "Crystal Mountain," were inspired. Schuldiner's home office was the home of the Metal Crusade newsletter and fan club.

Since Schuldiner's death on the bargaining of the rights to the partially completed second Control Denied album, When Man and Machine Collide, was scheduled for release in 2013. Demos of these unreleased Control Denied songs, as well as early Death demos and live Death recordings from 1990, were included in the Zero Tolerance two-part compilation bootlegs by the Dutch Hammerheart Holdings company and Schuldiners and Greif, which claimed legal rights for Schuldiner's Estate. The dispute was settled in November 2009, with the client waiting for it to be completed and released in 2010.

Schuldiner's mother and family, as well as other Death tribute organisations worldwide, have planned or sponsored tribute concerts. While working on various projects with former Death guitarist (and pituitary tumor survivor) James Murphy, the former CKY frontman, Deron Miller, who considers Schuldiner an idol of his, was inspired to create a tribute album. Murphy announced that he would release a Chuck Schuldiner tribute album to celebrate his lasting influence on the metal community, and Schuldiner's family has publicly expressed love for Murphy's efforts, but that has never materialized. Death: Live in Japan, a behind the scenes Death video starring Schuldiner, is available on Relapse Records, as well as a future boxset containing all of Schuldiner's creations, including exclusive copies of Schuldiner's handwritten notes. Eric Greif, a Schuldiner estate lawyer, held a charity Chuck Schuldiner Birthday Bash in Calgary, Alberta, on May 13, 2011, which included Greif and former Death guitarist Paul Masvidal, as well as bands playing Schuldiner's music. Greif's debut this May 12, 2012, with special guest band Massacre starring former Death members Rick Rozz and Terry Butler.

Mahyar Dean, an Iranian metal guitarist/pianian, wrote Death and Schuldiner poems in January 2001. The book includes bilingual songs as well as several articles about the band. The book was delivered by emptywords.org to Schuldiner, who was "absolutely blown away and lauded for his continued efforts and sacrifice put into bringing the book to life."
