Massacra - Final Holocaust (1990)


I've not heard much French death metal but Massacra recorded this violent opus which certainly matches the likes of Morbid Angel for intensity and hyper evil, fans of Death and Sepultura will also find much to savour here. Massacra were very much a cult band within the genre but never scaled the heights of the US acts, but this record serves up a wholesome range of battering death thrash with fine vocal extremity, blistering guitars and rapid drum beats, fifty-minutes of hellish terrain, 'Sentenced For Life', 'War Of attraction', and the blitzkrieg 'The Day Of Massacra' don't leave much to the imagination, the fury of the band clear to see.

6.5/10
