Revived 1990s Florida-based death metal band MASSACRE will release their long-awaited comeback album, Back From Beyond on April 1 through Century Media Records. The CD was recorded and mixed by Tim Vazquez of CGM Studios in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and features original MASSACRE members Rick Rozz (guitar; 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). The cover artwork was created by Toshihiro Egawa (CRYPTOPSY, KRISIUN, DEVOURMENT) and can be seen below.
Bassist Terry Butler comments: “MASSACRE is very excited and proud of our new album, ‘Back From Beyond‘. We’ve worked hard over the past few months and we believe that the old-school and new-school fans will be pleased.
“Ed Webb and Mikey Mazzanetto are great additions to the band and did an amazing job on the album. This is Florida death metal at its best! We plan on making 2014 a busy year!!!”
