Ask either guard: "If I asked the other guard which door led to the castle, what would they say?" The answer is always the door that leads to instant death; enter the other door.
Then, rip both of them in half and knock down the safe door so that everyone after you immediately knows the safe route

But they gained no information on which door to choose ='(
Yes, but they did establish that one of the guards is no longer living and that giving barbarians riddles is dangerous for everyone involved.
Barb could simply kill Death-itself if choice was certain death room.

This doesn't help the party decide which door to go through at all
