Death metal legends MASSACRE have returned with their first studio album effort in almost 20 years! Due out March 24th in Europe and April 1st in North America via Century Media Records, this new album, Back From Beyond, is "pure Florida death metal, the way it was meant to be played from the Sunshine State" (DECIBEL MAGAZINE.com). For a preview of Back From Beyond, check out the video of the album's title track right HERE.
The video for "Back From Beyond" was directed by Doug Cook (www.dougcook.ca) and animated by Nick Johnson and Ryder McLean. Terry Butler (bass) comments: "MASSACRE is very proud of the "Back From Beyond" video. It has a nice campy horror vibe, yet at the same time is cutting edge, and we think it can connect with a variety of audiences. Doug Cook did an amazing job with this one!!!"
For another preview of Back From Beyond, be sure to check out the merciless track, "As We Wait To Die" below.
Returning to the roots of MASSACRE's early 90's trademark sound, Back From Beyond was recorded and mixed by Tim Vazquez of CGM Studios, Florida, and features original MASSACRE members Rick Rozz (Guitars; ex-MANTAS/DEATH) and Terry Butler (Bass; OBITUARY, ex-DEATH/SIX FEET UNDER), as well as Ed Webb (Vocals; ex-DIABOLIC/EULOGY) and Mike Mazzonetto (Drums; ex-PAIN PRINCIPLE).
