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).

Living like us and sharing our day.
In another world very far away
A different existence, yet virtually the same.
Aggression is sadness and laughter is pain
Look deep into their eyes for what they have to say
Emotions take control of life everyday.
Unpredictable variations of behavior,
Hold the key to the mental door
Where nothing is everything, and everything is nothing
Staring beyond the wall a thousand times over
Seeing a part of them that is real
Just imagine how it might feel
To be denied of what life has to give
Behind mental shadows they must live
Look deep into their eyes, for what they have to say
Emotions take control of life everyday
