Late DEATH Frontman Chuck Schuldiner’s Rare Madonna “Frozen” Cover Unearthed Online

A rare recording from the late Chuck Schuldiner (Death, Control Denied) has emerged online, offering fans a unique glimpse into the metal pioneer’s creative world outside of his usual work. The track — an instrumental cover of Madonna’s 1998 hit “Frozen” — was shared by Schuldiner’s nephew, Chris Steele, who discovered the recording while going through old belongings.

According to Steele, Schuldiner demoed the song during the early stages of his battle with cancer. Sharing a clip of the track being played through his car stereo, Steele wrote:

“Found this today going through some things. Chuck recorded this in the early stages of his battle with cancer, I remember it well. Chuck sitting in his bedroom with his stealth and a drum machine. I’m not sure how many people outside of the family and a few friends have heard this but it’s all yours. Chuck’s version of Madonna’s 1998 single ‘Frozen.’”
