Mantas is as legendary as it gets when it comes to death metal and the very early origins of the genre! We have opened up a portal to the past that will take us all the way back to where it all began way back in 1984! Back to a time where death metal hadn’t been invented yet but a group of young Floridians were about to change that when they put out their first demo recordings that would be part of defining a new movement in the extreme metal underground!
We are beyond elated to announce that Kam Lee and Massacre will be performing the MANTAS “Death By Metal” Demo for the very first time ever! Besides being the first performance of this legendary material that led the way for the formation of Death, it will be the only performance worldwide for all of 2026! This will be a historical moment in death metal history, so be sure not to miss out!
