The Sound of Perseverance is the 17th and final studio album by American death metal band Death, released on August 31, 1998, by Nuclear Blast.[4] The album features a whole new lineup of members except Chuck Schuldiner; it is the only album to feature guitarist Shannon Hamm, drummer Richard Christy, and bassist Scott Clendenin. It is also Death's final commercial release, as Chuck Schuldiner would die due to brain cancer-related issues in 2001, and Death would subsequently disband.
