MASSACRE Release Fourth Studio Album ‘Resurgence’
October 22nd, 2021

Florida-based death metal band Massacre issued fourth full-length studio album Resurgence on October 22nd, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Vocalist Kam Lee commented: “It’s all about Lovecraft isn’t it. Honesty though, aesthetically Massacre needed two main things to return to be proper. A) The return to the core roots of O.S.D.M. style death metal… that late 80s, early 90s sound. Musically, the record has to retain that nostalgic retro style. B) To return to the lyrical aesthetics laden with influences heavily drawn from the stories and fictional mythos that is all Lovecraftian.”

Resurgence features guest performances by Marc Grewe (Insidious Disease), Dave Ingram (Benediction), Anders Odden (Cadaver), and Pete Slate (Druid Lord).

Cover artwork was created by Wes Benscoter.

01. ‘Eldritch Prophecy’
