And whilst on the subject of Massacre....this is a relatively new effort featuring the guttural growls of Kam Lee and Terry Butler, and a fine effort it is to, and if anything, I'm digging this more than the 'From Beyond' opus of so many years ago. This is fresh sounding gory/punky death grind, with a horror theme, and it has the classic qualities of early '90s death metal. Eleven cuts on offer, full of zombiefied screeches and gurgles, yet often decipherable vocals and the occasional moshing chant, heavy chugging riffs and some superb drumming.
It proves that there's still room for this kind of stuff because the old masters still rule the roost. Hopefully this will find a cult status among death metal fans who still worship the qualities of a time we thought had faded, but which time and time again resurface. Cool comic horror cover too...
7/10
