Death was one of the pioneering death metalbands, headed by metal legend Chuck Schuldiner. The band underwent many lineup changes during its history, with Chuck Schuldinerbeing the only mainstay throughout the lifetime of the group. Founded under the name of Mantas, in Orlando, Florida, after a couple of demo tapes were released, Chuck had decided to change the name to " Death", in 1985. Soon after, amidst a few band changes, their first full-length; Scream Bloody Gore, was released in 1987, planting Florida firmly in the roots of death metal's beginnings, and starting it on its way to becoming the death metal scene of today. By 1990, Deathhad released Leprosyand Spiritual Healing, and taking on-board journeyman guitarist James Murphy(who later went on to play for Obituary, Cancer, and even Nevermoreat one point, among others).

In your dreams
The pain is so real
Before the dead
You'll have to kneel
Hear your future screams
See your epitaph
As you scream
The dead they laugh
Pain, growing stronger
Life, exists no longer
Welcome, to a world of pain
Death and despair
Denial of life (Vile denial)
Denial of life
Denial of life
Created by your mind
To overtake your life
Sacrificial suicide
End it with a knife
Much too late
To change your mind
A bloody corpse
Is left behind
Pain, growing stronger
Life, exists no longer
Welcome, to a world of pain
Death and despair
Denial of life (Vile denial)
