If you know anything, you already know Chuck Schuldiner, but the rest of the guys are new. Shannon Hamm is from a band called Metalstorm. He had played with Control Denied and made the transition to Death when Chuck decided to reform it. Scott Clendenin played with Control Denied as well. For a while, Steve Digiorgio was going to play with Death, but he decided to leave for Sadus, his other band, and Scott was back in. Richard Christy is from such bands as Acheron and Burning Inside. He replaced Chris Williams, who had played with Control Denied but quit due to personal conflicts with Chuck.
