Control Denied was started by Chuck Schuldiner to create a European-style power metal/progressive metal band, mixed with elements death metal recognizable in his earlier band Death. The band was first started in 1996 as Schuldiner wanted to procur a slightly more melodic style than was possible with Death. The project was interrupted by a release of Death in 1998 but finally the debut album was released in 1999. A second album, tentatively titled When Machine And Man Collide, was partly recorded, but the demise of Schuldiner in 2001, put the recordings on hold. Remaining band members have expressed a wish to complete and release the material. However, there exists a legal dispute over the rights of the material with Karmageddon Records, further postponing the completion and release.
