Control Denied first came into being in 1996, shortly after Death mainman Chuck Schuldiner decided to disband that group in favor of a slightly more melodic direction. Later, he shelved the project and reformed Death instead, with both members and songs from CD moving on to what would eventually become The Sound Of Perseverance in 1998. Finally, Chuck decided to pick up the project early in 1999 (whether as a separate project from Death, or a continuation, has never been made quite clear), and the debut album was quite worth the wait. The Fragile Art Of Existence is very much a continuation of late-period Death, with the obvious exception of the very well-done vocals by Tim Aymar -- really an excellent release. Work had begun on a followup, tentatively entitled When Machine And Man Collide, but Chuck's death in December 2001 put a stop to the recordings. At one point it had been reported that the band intend to complete and release that album (Chuck had already recorded guitar parts prior to his death), though nothing has since come of this.
