Rated 18 Oct 2023

Coming from the genre of fan films pretending to be documentaries, "Death by Metal" tries to make Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner into some kind of legend of metal. It does this by ignoring all death metal and proto-death bands before him (Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Master, Bathory, Sodom, Hellhammer, Possessed) and focusing on a cult of personality instead of digging into influences, practices, and other stuff of real interest. Excess of Chuck's squeaky voice, deflection from how he died of AIDS.
