Massacre Building New Lineup

Massacre is coming back from the dead. The faces in the band will be a bit different than it's previous inception though. In fact, the only returning member from the original lineup is the venerable Kam Lee. Kam has spoken with a couple notables to fill both the bass and drum slots for the new lineup.

Masticator

Masticator is a three-piece Old School Death Metal band from West Palm Beach, FL. The sound of the band harkens back to the late eighties. This is a bit ironic, since the band consists primarily of minors. The entire lineup wasn't even born when classics like Butchered at Birth, and Cause of Death were released. Their demo album, Premortem Autopsy owes much to those albums.

"Trevor [Peres, guitar] finished his tracks yesterday, and I'm doing solos now. The new stuff is HEAVY, some of my favorite Obituary riffs yet. Trevor's guitar sounds huge and menacing. If you like Obituary, you're gonna love this record."
