Commenting on the live record vocalist Kam Lee says:

“This release is for the fans. It had always been intended for the fans as it is all about fan service. It’s for those fans that really wanted it and called for it. The closest thing to the original line up of the From Beyond line up that they could get. It’s the first time that all of ‘From Beyond’ had been performed live in it’s entirety. It was the first show since the reformation in 2017, and it was the first show Mike Borders had performed in Massacre since 1987. If anything it proved that MASSACRE was back – regardless of the changes that would come later, this was the return. The resurgence of the band, and the submergence into the legacy of what the band was and shall be.”

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80's during a heatwave of groundbreaking death metal that produced some of the genre's most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, "Aggressive Tyrant" (1986), "Chamber of Ages" (1986) and "The Second Coming" (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album "From Beyond" (1991). In 2021, the band made their long-awaited return with "Resurgence." Invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception, long-time members, vocalist Kam Lee (MANTAS, BONE GNAWER, THE GROTESQUERY) and bassist Mike Borders, were joined in the studio by some of death's most prolific and malignant songwriters, guitarist Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, RIB SPREADER), guitarist Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH, NATTRAVNEN, HENRY KANE), guitarist Scott Fairfax (MEMORIAM, AS THE WORLD DIES) and drummer Brynjar Helgetun (CRYPTICUS, THE GROTESQUERY) with additional guest performances by Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE), Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION), Anders Odden (CADAVER), and Pete Slate (DRUID LORD) The record was recorded with producer and death metal icon Dan Swanö (ex-Edge of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) and Pettersson as engineer/mixer.

In 2022, MASSACRE emerged from the swamps yet again for the brutally devastating EP, "Mythos." Picking up where they left off on "Resurgence," the band layed waste with Lovecraftian inspired lyrics and searing death metal riffs.

Commenting on the EP, vocalist Kam Lee says:

"'Mythos' is MASSACRE in its true form. Forget the imitations this is the real deal. These tracks represent the band in its proper self. Representative of true old school death metal and the music on this EP represents the core of the band's true sound. This is what the band is and was always meant to be, and now that I'm in the captain's chair I'll make sure the core of the band shall remain as such."

MASSACRE RELEASES VILE, UNCENSORED VIDEO FOR"RETURN OF THE CORPSE GRINDER"

October 23, 2021

2021 marks a monumental year for death metal with the long-awaited return of influential Floridian juggernauts, MASSACRE! Today, the band has unleashed their highly anticipated album, "Resurgence," with Nuclear Blast. Their 4th album, in a career spanning nearly 4 decades, is classic, unadulterated death metal in its purest form.

In conjunction with today's record release the band has unveiled what is likely one of the most horrifying and appalling music videos ever made for their latest single "Return of the Corpse Grinder." Watch the repugnant uncensored video (banned from YouTube), or the censored version below ,for those with weak stomachs! *TRIGGER WARNING: Brutal violation of corpse and necrophilia of charred human remains

Commenting on the release of "Resurgence" and gruesome new single "Return of the Corpse Grinder," vocalist Kam Lee states:

"Well for starters… we made a video for RETURN OF THE CORPSE GRINDER… but it is so disgusting and foul it may be BANNED! How fucking awesome is that?!! Total Jorg Buttgereit (NEKROMANTIK films) worship! Disgusting necrophilia and Ed Gein worship – the ONLY way to do the song justice. Anything less would have been a disservice and just wimpy!! But it’s most likely too extreme for most viewers… I feel so accomplished!!

I hope fans do get to check it out… it’s a total complete tribute to the Nekromantik films and to Ed Gein being the influence to the original songs lyrics to begin with. And the songs music is just a perfect continuation in style and form – it really brings the Corpse Grinder saga full circle. Coming out of the gate with RESURGENCE and being told that video we did for the 2nd part to the Corpse Grinder may be too extreme to air is fucking brilliant!!

I am proud of the work we did on the album, the songs and material really are the essence of O.S.D.M. style and sound, and I feel this was the best team I could gather together to make this album what it is! I realize lightening couldn’t strike twice… “From Beyond” was lightening in a bottle… and it’s not going to be beat, but I did my best to bring the proper team together to make a follow up – 30 years late – that is and proves to be the proper and correct continuation of the band MASSACRE the way it was always meant to be!"

MASSACRE REVEALS NEW SINGLE "RUINS OF R'LYEAH"

September 6, 2021

DEATH METAL PIONEERS' 4TH ALBUM, "RESURGENCE," OUT OCT 22ND

Floridia's masters of death metal, MASSACRE, have released searing new single, "Ruins of R'lyeh," from their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, "Resurgence," that's out October 22nd from Nuclear Blast.

Watch the visualizer for "Ruins of R'lyeh"

Commenting on the upcoming album and new single, vocalist Kam Lee states:

"I’m going to take you back down into the abyss! This track, 'Ruins of R’lyeh,' like many of the other’s on the 'Resurgence' album are direct sequels to tracks off 'From Beyond.' With a purposeful musical connection to the track 'Cryptic Realms,' this new song of O.S.D.M. takes the listener back down into the depths of the darkness with a very heavy laden Lovecraftian lyrical direction loosely based on 'The Call Of Cthulhu.' Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn ('In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.')"
