Members of Death have dispersed all throughout the landscape of metal and popular music. Some, like [[Gene Hoglan]] from [[Dark Angel (band)|Dark Angel]] and [[Andy LaRocque]] from King Diamond, already had made a name for themselves. Others went on to do so, like [[Sean Reinert]], who formed the legendary [[Cynic (band)|Cynic]] with fellow Death member [[Paul Masvidal]]. Ironically, both of these pioneering death metal musicians have ended up in a progressive, ethereal rock band named [[Æon Spoke]], laced with delicate guitars and Masvidal's soft croon. [[Richard Christy]] went on to gigs with [[Acheron (band)|Acheron]] and [[Iced Earth]] before joining [[The Howard Stern Show]]. [[Ralph Santolla]] has also played with Iced Earth, as well as Sebastian Bach, both of which were also stations for [[Steve DiGiorgio]] (he is still playing with Bach). While Santolla is now in [[Obituary (band)|Obituary]] and before this he was in [[Deicide (band)|Deicide]]. DiGiorgio also played for [[Testament (band)|Testament]] and is still active with his original band [[Sadus]]. Bobby Koelble founded the Orlando rock-funk-Latin fusion group JunkieRush in 2000. [[James Murphy]] was also in [[Testament (band)|Testament]] for a while, formed numerous projects such as [[Disincarnate]] (as well as stints with death metal bands [[Obituary (band)|Obituary]] and [[Cancer (band)|Cancer]]) and has made a name for himself. Murphy also has been stricken with cancer and, along with Deron Miller of CKY, is organizing a Death tribute album to be released upon completion. [[Kam Lee]] formed the band Denial Fiend with [[Terry Butler]]. Lee left Denial Fiend in early 2009 and is currently fronting several bands such as Bone Gnawer, The Grotesquery, and Broken Gravestones.--->
<!---==Band logo==[[Image:Death band.png|right|thumb|200px|The original Death logo was created by Chuck Schuldiner.]]--->
<!---
Schuldiner designed the Death logo and its various incarnations during the length of his career. In 1991, before the release of ''[[Human (Death album)|Human]]'', he cleaned up the logo taking out more intricate details and the "T" in the logo was swapped from an inverted Cross to a more regular looking "T", one reason being to quash any implication of religion. The logo was changed again, between ''Symbolic'' and ''The Sound of Perseverance'', with the removal of the hooded skull above the "H", among other changes.
