Mantas

This is fucking rad as hell.

A compilation album is coming soon from Mantas — the late Chuck Schuldiner’s band before Death.

Called Death By Metal, the album is said to be brutally raw sounding, and was recorded in Chuck’s Florida basement 30 years ago.

These are the earliest recordings of the death metal legend, and marks the first time that these recordings have been legitimately available since their original release as the Death By Metal demo tape in 1984.

Nice. I can’t wait to hear it. The album is out June 19.

And don’t forget that the Death To All Tour is coming to a town near you. Read about that here.
