MASSACRE Working On EP Of Re-Recorded 'Classics'

May 14, 2009

Resurrected Florida-based death metallers MASSACRE are working on a new EP featuring reworked versions of four classic tunes, "re-recorded and brought up to date." According to vocalist Kam Lee, the EP will be released "totally for the honor of the old-school fans! No TRENDS here!!"

The four classic tunes that will be represented on this EP are as follows:

01. Aggressive Tyrant
02. Clangor Of War
03. Infestation Of Death
04. Perpetual Domination

Kam has asked the help of Sweden's Ronnie Bjornstrom (BONE GNAWER, HATE AMMO, RIBSPREADER) to be studio session musician on this EP, and Ronnie has done "a fantastic job" of keeping the tracks to their tradition style and form.

Currently, MASSACRE has no record company in place to release this EP, but Kam will be seeking to negotiate a deal with the correct label that is willing to give this release the proper and respectful attention that is needed to get this out to the fans worldwide.

MASSACRE is planning to re-release some of its early recordings to coincide with the band's 25th anniversary. According to the group, there are "plans not only [to] remaster these classic albums, but [to include] new updated artwork for the covers of these reissues." Special previously unreleased bonus tracks may also be added.

MASSACRE's new recording lineup will feature vocalist Kam Lee alongside bassist Dave Pybus (CRADLE OF FILTH) and drummer Tony Laureano (DIMMU BORGIR, 1349, NILE, ACHERON). Mirai (SIGH, NECROPHAGIA) has also agreed to help out by creating and playing some very eerie keyboard intros and outros for the band's forthcoming album, tentatively due in 2010. The rest of the band's lineup has not yet been determined.

A different version of MASSACRE — consisting of DENIAL FIEND members Sam Williams (guitar),Curt Beeson (drums; NASTY SAVAGE),along with ex-MASSACRE/DENIAL FIEND members Terry Butler (bass),Steve Swanson (guitars) and Kam Lee (vocals) — completed a European tour in late 2007.
