While attending school, Adams struck up a friendship with Joey DiMaio, who would later become his bandmate in Manowar.
The Birth of Manowar
Prior to joining Manowar, Adams performed with the band "Jade" as both a guitarist and vocalist. However, it was with Manowar that he truly left his mark on the music industry. His pseudonym, "Eric Adams," was a combination of the names of his two sons, Eric Marullo and Adam Marullo.
