Control Denied's Lost 2nd Album Will See the Light of Day

Richard Christy (Charred Walls of the Damned, Death, Control Denied) confirmed that Control Denied will release its second album with Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) playing guitar.

It is the last recorded album of material by the guitarist before he died in 2001 after suffering a battle with cancer. The first Control Denied album is like the instrumental aspect of Death mixed with Maiden-esque/power metal vocals.

There is no set release date for the album yet, but the fact that it will be coming out is awesome!

Charred Walls of the Damned: "Ghost Town"

I already have the new album from the Charred Walls of the Damned supergroup featuring drummer Richard Christy (Death), vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (Beyond Fear, Iced Earth, Judas Priest) and bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Death, Control Denied, Testament) on my home computer and iPod (legally of course!).

What you may be wondering is, is it actually any good? As of right now, I have to say it will definitely satisfy the later Death fans in sheer technicality and Ripper sings his ass off. However, the songs somehow fail to stick into my brain like a good song should.

I feel like this is one of those albums that takes repeat listens to appreciate though. Strangely enough I find myself liking the "slower" songs better than some of the fast ones...

You can check out a brand new video for the first "single," "Ghost Town" below. I can say that if you like this track, there are far better ones on the album.
