Mantas – “Evil Dead” [YouTube Song Stream]
A song from the upcoming Mantas Death By Metal collection has been released online. The track “Evil Dead” is taken from the band’s first ever 1984 demo, recorded in the basement of death metal legend, pioneer and groundbreaker Chuck Schuldiner. Death By Metal is the next chapter in Relapse’s Death reissue campaign, compiling Chuck Schuldiner’s pre-Death material from his first band Mantas into one deluxe collection containing the group’s first two demos and a rehearsal. This marks the first time these recordings have ever been officially collected into one fully authorized compilation and legitimately available since their original release as the Death By Metal demo tape (1984).
