Biography

Scott Clendenin was born on January 17, 1968. Clendenin began his musical career in the band Talonzfury, which he created alongside Chris Williams on drums and Paul Payne on guitars. The three recorded an album together under the name and even attempted to hire Shannon Hamm, which did not work out. Shortly after that, Williams met Chuck Schuldiner at a party and played him a copy of the Talonzfury album, which led to Schuldiner hiring him, Hamm, and Clendenin as an early Control Denied lineup. Payne unsuccessfully tried out as the singer. However, not long after their induction, Williams departed from the band and was replaced by Richard Christy.At this time, Death's record label was reaching out to Schuldiner to tell him to work on another album for Death in order to release the Control Denied album. With this in mind, Schuldiner hired the three members of Control Denied to record the new Death album alongside him. The band would record the album, which would be the seventh Death album, titled The Sound of Perseverance. Clendenin appeared on live DVDs titled Live in L.A. (Death & Raw), as well as Live in Eindhoven, which were released in 2001. The next year, Control Denied released their debut The Fragile Art of Existence, however, Clendenin had been replaced by former Death bassist Steve Di Giorgio. In 2001, Schuldiner died at the age of 34, which resulted in the disbanding of both bands.In 2007, Clendenin played in a tribute show alongside Symbolic, a Death tribute band, at Theatre Imperial in Quebec, Canada for the anniversary of Schuldiner's death. Former Death guitarist Bobby Koelble also played at the show. The show was filmed and was set to be released in December of 2010.Clendenin was part of a band in 2010, which was working on getting a record deal.In 2012, it was announced that Clendenin would be on the Death to All tour, which featured himself and Di Giorgio on bass, Hamm, Paul Masvidal, and Bobby Koelble on guitars, and Sean Reinert and Gene Hoglan on drums.
