MASSACRE Reveal New Single and Visualizer ‘Ruins Of R'lyeh’

Florida's masters of death metal, MASSACRE, have released searing new single, ‘Ruins of R'lyeh,’ from their highly anticipated 4th full-length album, Resurgence, that's out October 22nd from Nuclear Blast.

Commenting on the upcoming album and new single, vocalist Kam Lee states:
"I’m going to take you back down into the abyss! This track, 'Ruins of R’lyeh,' like many of the other’s on the 'Resurgence' album are direct sequels to tracks off 'From Beyond.' With a purposeful musical connection to the track 'Cryptic Realms,' this new song of O.S.D.M. takes the listener back down into the depths of the darkness with a very heavy laden Lovecraftian lyrical direction loosely based on 'The Call Of Cthulhu.' Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn ('In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.')"

MASSACRE rose from the swamps of Southern Florida in the early 80's during a heatwave of ground-breaking death metal that produced some of the genre's most revered forefathers, DEATH, OBITUARY and SIX FEET UNDER. Their legacy was founded with a string of classic demos, "Aggressive Tyrant" (1986), "Chamber of Ages" (1986) and "The Second Coming" (1990), before unleashing their critically praised classic debut album "From Beyond" (1991). Now decades later, the band makes their long-awaited return, invigorated with the same youthful rage that brought them together at inception. For "Resurgence," long-time members, vocalist Kam Lee (MANTAS, BONE GNAWER, THE GROTESQUERY) and bassist Mike Borders, were joined in the studio by some of death's most prolific and malignant songwriters, guitarist Rogga Johansson (PAGANIZER, MEGASCAVENGER, RIB SPREADER), guitarist Jonny Pettersson (WOMBBATH, NATTRAVNEN, HENRY KANE), guitarist Scott Fairfax (MEMORIAM, AS THE WORLD DIES) and drummer Brynjar Helgetun (CRYPTICUS, THE GROTESQUERY) with additional guest performances by Marc Grewe (INSIDIOUS DISEASE), Dave Ingram (BENEDICTION), Anders Odden (CADAVER), and Pete Slate (DRUID LORD) The record was recorded with producer and death metal icon Dan Swanö (ex-Edge of Sanity, ex-Bloodbath) and Pettersson as engineer/mixer.
