The band Control Denied was formed by Chuck Schuldiner to create progressive/heavy metal, mixed with elements of death metal recognizable in his earlier band Death. The band started in 1996 as Schuldiner wanted to procure a more melodic style than was possible with Death. The project was interrupted by Death's release The Sound of Perseverance in 1998, but finally the debut album was released in 1999. A second album, tentatively titled When Man And Machine Collide, was partly recorded, but the death of Schuldiner in 2001, put the recordings on hold. Remaining band members have expressed a wish to complete and release the material -
* Chuck Schuldiner - Guitar (1996 to 2001), Vocals (1996-1998)
* Steve DiGiorgio - Bass (1999-2001)
* Shannon Hamm - Guitar (1997-2001)
* Tim Aymar - Vocals (1998-2001)
* Richard Christy - Drums (1997-2001
* Chris Williams - Drums (1996)

lyrics - So there they stood
On a moutain, revealing their wisdom
While taking in all that earth had to give to them
And what it hid, secrets that shadows of time concealed
What if when they saw burning stars
They thought it was a gift from beyond far
Look close between the lines
Beyond what you believe to be real
Are they just theories of time
Behold the tooth of yesterday
It holds the truth to set you free
From history some live their lives
Not long ago we looked at power as just a vision
To shatter dark with just a beam of light
It might be worth to take a close look at infinity
