MANTAS (USA/FL)

Originally formed in 1984, the band's early demos were recorded with the founding teenage trio of guitarist Chuck Schuldiner, former THATCHER guitarist Rick Rozz (real name Frederick DiLillo) and drummer / vocalist Barney 'Kam Lee' under the name of MANTAS. The first fruits of their labors would be dubbed the 'Emotional' demo, issued in the Spring of 1984 (no cover). By the summer a second session, recorded within the confines of the Schuldiner's garage, resulted in the 'Death By Metal' demo. MANTAS would then be dismantled but the exact same triumvirate regrouped as DEATH.
