===Early life===
Chuck Schuldiner was born on May 13, 1967 on Long Island, New York to a Jewish father of Austrian descent and a mother from the American South, a convert to Judaism]; both his parents were teachers. In 1968, his family moved to Florida. Chuck was the youngest of three children. He had an older brother named Frank and an older sister named Bethann.
Schuldiner started playing guitar at the age of 9. His 16 year old brother had just been killed in an accident and his parents bought him a guitar, thinking it would help with his grief. He took 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 completely, until his parents saw an electric guitar at a yard sale and bought it for him. The young Schuldiner immediately took to the instrument. After getting amps, he never stopped playing, writing and teaching himself. Schuldiner was known to spend the weekend in the garage or his room playing his guitar, but was limited to three hours on weekdays when school was in session. Schuldiner first played in public in his early teens.
Schuldiner was originally inspired by [[Iron Maiden]], Kiss and Billy Idol, among others. He was particularly interested in the metal movement known as NWOBHM - New Wave of British Heavy Metal - and cited bands of that genre among his favorites. He frequently cited French band Sortilège as his personal favorite metal group. [[Slayer]], Possessed, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond and [[Metallica]] were later influences he would apply more to his own band. Later in his career, Schuldiner frequently cited progressive metal bands such as Watchtower and [[Queensrÿche]] as influences. Official Schuldiner website, Empty Words, quotes Chuck's mother making the claim that he enjoyed all forms of music except country and rap, because lets face it...rap is NOT MUSIC!!!! He also apparently particularly enjoyed jazz and classical music in addition to metal and British alternative acts such as Lush.
Schuldiner performed well in school, however, he became bored with education and eventually dropped out. He later regretted this decision.
Schuldiner was not afraid to take on controversial lyrical subjects such as the anti-drug sentiments of ""Living Monstrosity" " and abortion in ""Altering the Future""
===Musical career===
Death's breakthrough album, ''[[Human (Death album)|Human]]'' saw the band evolving to a more technical and progressive style, in which Schuldiner displayed his guitar skills more than ever. He continued in this style (and continued the success of the band) with 1993's ''[[Individual Thought Patterns]]'', 1995's ''[[Symbolic (Death album)|Symbolic]]'', and finally ''[[The Sound of Perseverance]]'' in 1998.
Schuldiner played guitar in the project [[Voodoocult]] on the album ''Jesus Killing Machine'' in 1994. He folded Death after this to form a new band called [[Control Denied]], and released ''[[The Fragile Art of Existence]]'' in 1999. Schuldiner was also asked to be one of the many guest vocalists on Dave Grohl's 2001 Probot project by Grohl himself. Grohl even campaigned to raise funds to help Schuldiner pay medical bills for the brain cancer that would eventually take his life. Schuldiner succumbed to the disease before any collaboration could happen. Grohl, in tears, in an interview over Schuldiner's death, said that ""Chuck died for making the right decisions in life. That's just... that's just not fair.""
===Battle with cancer===
Tribute concerts commonly occur to this day for his legacy, often coordinated or funded by his mother and family (the most recent was in December 2007). Most recently, former Death guitarist (and brain cancer survivor) [[James Murphy|James Murphy]] announced he will release a Chuck Schuldiner tribute album to commemorate his lasting mark on the metal community. Chuck's family is also offering support for Murphy's effort.
