Chris Reifert played in Death in 1985 when Eric Brecht stopped playing with Death-band leader Chuck Schuldiner after a couple of months.



In 1987 Chuck returned from San Fransisco to Florida to rejoin forces with three-fourths of Massacre including Rick Rozz on guitar, Terry Buttler on bass and Bill Andrews on drums. Death's former drummer Chris Reifert stayed in San Fransisco and so he and Chuck split up.



Later Reifert showed up in Autopsy, Abscess, and The Ravenous, among other bands.
