Nearly four decades after their unholy conception, masters of Floridian death metal, Massacre, have found a diabolical union with Nuclear Blast Records with plans to release their fourth studio album, and first in seven years, later this year.
Commenting on the signing, vocalist Kam Lee states:
Bassist Michael Borders adds:
Nuclear Blast’s U.S.A. general manager Gerardo Martinez says:
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, such as 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). Now decades later, the band makes their long-awaited return, invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception. For the forthcoming record long-time members vocalist Kam Lee (Mantas, Bone Gnawer, The Grotesquery) and bassist Mike Borders, are 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).
Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming record.
