A previously unheard cover of Madonna’s 1998 single “Frozen,” recorded ⁤by the late⁢ Chuck Schuldiner, vocalist⁣ and guitarist of influential⁢ death metal band Death, has been released by the band’s official ⁣facebook page. Schuldiner, who tragically passed away ‌from brain cancer in December 2001, recorded the track in the early‌ stages of ‌his illness.

A Unique ‌Rendition of a Pop Classic

The recording, discovered while going through archived materials, showcases Schuldiner’s creative approach. According to a post on the​ official Death Facebook page, he recorded the‌ cover in his bedroom using a drum machine and his signature guitar style. The band significantly expanded the⁤ song’s length, nearly doubling⁤ the original three-minute runtime, and ​infused​ it with a distinctly metal⁣ edge, featuring extended guitar solos.

The original song, “Frozen,” appeared ‌on Madonna’s critically acclaimed 1998 album, Ray ⁤of Light (Wikipedia). Death’s interpretation offers a captivating contrast between the pop sensibilities of Madonna and the technical prowess of Schuldiner’s death metal approach.
