Overview
- Chris Steele shared a video of the disc playing on Death’s official Instagram, bringing a long-unknown recording to public attention.
- The track is an instrumental take on Madonna’s 1998 single, with Schuldiner rendering the vocal lines on guitar over a drum machine.
- Steele said it was recorded in the early stages of Schuldiner’s cancer battle around 1998; he was diagnosed in 1999 and died in 2001.
- He noted he was unsure whether anyone beyond family and a few friends had previously heard the cover.
- Major music outlets reported the clip as an archival discovery, and an authorized Schuldiner biography is due this month, with no official release of the track announced.
