The Metal Archives shows that bassist Scott Clendenin (Florida, USA) played bass in the two bands led by death metal pioneer Chuck Schuldiner: Death and Control Denied. The Metal Archives shows Scott joined Control Denied in 1996. He played bass on the band's first two recordings, the 1996 Demo and the 1997 demo A Moment of Clarity. Please observe this important piece of information: He did not play on the full studio album, his bass tracks appear on several special reissues of The Fragile Art of Existence released in 2010 and 2020.

In his time with Death (1997–2001), Scott Clendenin served as the bassist during the band's final chapter.
