"As you may have noticed in the past days the developments surrounding Chuck’s legacy follow each other rapidly: the announcement of new management, a new label, new (authorized) merchandise, a tab book by Guitar World, Death@Facebook, Death@MySpace, the entire Death catalogue on iTunes, a new boxset, and last but not least finally getting Chuck’s final work completed and above all released!

So today, Chuck’s 43rd birthday, let's celebrate this with an interview Chuck’s mom recently did with Brazilian freelance journalist Thiago Sarkis. Thanks to those who always kept believing! Enjoy and stay tuned to Chuck’s Official Cyber Home, EmptyWords, as always!"

The following is an except from the above mentioned interview:

Q: Mrs. Schuldiner, you've been working on the release of Chuck's last masterpiece [the long-awaited sophomore CONTROL DENIED album] for a long time. There've been years and years. What does make you believe that this project will see the light of day?

A: "If you have read the history of the fight for Chuck's rights to have his album done his way, the way he created it and not have it bastardized, then you know the answer to the question. He asked for the promise from his sister, Beth, that she see to his vision for the last work he was ever going to do. And it has taken this long through much legal work and money to finally get control and to be able to start gathering and planning for the album. Years it may have taken, but we prefer to say we have kept the promise to Chuck, nothing else matters."

Q: Great! Good news. Well, but have you ever felt it wouldn't be possible to release this album?

A: "Releasing it was not the point, releasing it and making sure of the integrity of the album was/is most important. If it could not be done the way Chuck asked, it wouldn't be done at all. That was the question, and it has been answered. It will be done, and exactly as Chuck asked. I would feel absolute dejection if that work was not released, only I was there to see the condition he was in as Chuck struggled to finish what he could, and all the time while seeing to his wishes that it be done as he asked. Well, there will be an announcement any day now by the label who was chosen to see it completed."
