  One of the first death metal bands, originally founded in 1983 as Mantas (US), changed their name to Death in late 1984.

  Death disbanded due to Chuck Schuldiner dying of brain stem cancer on December 13th, 2001.
  
  Throughout all the albums, Death has been going through constant band member changes. People claim that Death is Chuck; he is the band. He has appeared on all albums, except one demo that Kam Lee released with the "Death" label after Chuck moved to San Francisco in 1985. (The demo is better considered Massacre material.)
  
  Death have had some dramatic changes in their sound. In the beginning, before even releasing a demo and under the name Mantas, the band wanted to play Venom/Celtic Frost influenced metal, but upon hearing bands like Possessed, Mantas wanted to play and expand death metal. Thus, they decided to change their name to Death to sum up what their music and lyrics are about. So Death started off as death metal with gore related lyrics (Scream Bloody Gore). Up to the "Human" album, we start seeing the transformation of Death, with lyrics not relating to gore but more to the human mind. Up to "Individual Thought Patterns," the band has brought in progressive elements, thus on the last of the studio albums (The Sound Of Perseverance) has a sound no where near death metal but more progressive metal.
