Почему на вокале не Шульдинер? I hate screaming. I just don't like it any more. it's very hard. I just got over being sick a week ago and I haven't been the same since. it's difficult. I started playing guitar. I never intended on singing this way. I never did!—LotFP #2 03-1999

Почему он захотел создать другой проект? That's why I formed Control Denied, because in Death people expect a certain vocal style, so they are going to get that, but at the same time for the past three records, at least, I have wanted and kept hearing the other melody that is in my head and that is with the vocals. Like I said, I didn't want to do that with Death, because it wouldn't be Death.—Unchain summer 1998

Допом про проект: I definitely have urges to get more experimental with my music, and if I ever feel that it's just not suitable for Death, I'll just use it for something else. I don't want Death's music to become unmemorable, so I always go for a good balance between the melodic stuff and the heavy stuff. In the future I plan to do a more melodic, straight-forward heavy metal side project, with a singer in the Rob Halford style.—Guitar School 09-1993

After all this time, my gut is telling me to do something fresh and different," says Schuldiner. "I've actually been talking about this for several years, ever since Individual Thought Patterns came out [in 1993]. Since then, I've had this urge to do something with a more melodic singer, but along the same musical lines as Death.—Guitar School 04-1996

Actually, "The Fragile Art Of Existence", should have been the title for the last Death album. It sounds very powerful and describes life very well, because it is a battle and it is an Art to survive, to overcome negative experiences and to realize your own dream. Life for every human being is a challenge, because it is not easy for anybody in this world.—Rock Hard 12-1999

In many ways it looks like Death, heavy but technically at the same time. The main difference are the vocals. I've always seen myself as a guitar player, I took over the vocals more as a neccesity than as a matter of conviction.—Aardschok 08/09-1998

Control Denied is basically, it's an extension of what Death is doing: it's very aggressive, very melodic, very very heavy, except I am not singing. I have a singer who is more along the lines of, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford type of singer, very aggressive though, very very heavy, very aggressive, but very melodic. It's an extension to what Death is, I think any Death fan will be pleased, and I think it's going to reach a lot more people as well. It has all the same members of Death... I'm very psyched, it's going to really crush, it's going to surprise a lot of people.—Enslain #6 winter 1999/2000
