Death to All Breathe New Life into Old Favorites

Death to All Breathe New Life into Old Favorites Death to All Breathe New Life into Old Favorites: Floridian band Death is one of the pioneers of death metal. Active from 1983, their back catalog is essential listening for fans of the genre. Leprosy in particular is a bonafide classic of any genre.The band ceased to be when main man Chuck Schuldiner died in 2001 and, for a long time, that appeared to be that. Much like Motorhead and Lemmy, Death continuing full-on without Schuldiner was a non-starter. It just wouldn’t work; he wrote the songs, and he was there one mainstay while the lineup shifted over the years. So Death lay dormant.In recent years though though, three former band members have come together as Death to All, to pay tribute to their comrade. That’s drum icon Gene Hoglan (also of Dark Angel, Strapping Young Lad, Testament), bassist Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Sadus, etc) and guitarist Bobby Koelble. The lineup is completed by vocalist and guitarist Max Phelps, of Cynic (among others).At the Belasco in Do...

Kurtenbach: The 49ers signing Javon Hargrave corrects John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan’s biggest roster mistake The 49ers have managed their roster as well as any team in the NFL over the last few seasons. That’s why, despite not having an MVP-caliber quarterback, the team has played in three NFC Championship Games in the last four seasons and was a quarter away from winning Super Bowl LIV.But trading DeForest Buckner to the Colts for a first-round pick that became his replacement at defensive tackle, Javon Kinlaw, was not one of those gilded Niners’ roster moves.It took three years, but the 49ers finally corrected that mistake.Buckner isn’t returning to the Niners, but Javon Hargrave is coming to the Bay.The former Pittsburgh Steeler and Philadelphia Eagle defensive tackle is leaving the commonwealth after agreeing to a four-year, $84 million contract.It’s big money for a big man to fill a big need for the Niners.While the Niners’ decision to sign Hargrave, 30, goes deeper than just one game, the NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and Niners showed exactly...
