Massacre launches new track “Shield Of The Son” online
Death metal legends Massacre ~ Ed Webb – Vocals, Rick Rozz – Guitars, Terry Butler – Bass, Mikey Mazzonetto – Drums ~ have returned with their first studio album effort in almost 20 years! Due out April 1st in North America via Century Media Records, this new album, Back From Beyond, is “…pure Florida death metal, the way it was meant to be played from the Sunshine State…” (Decibel Magazine.com). For a preview of Back From Beyond, listen to a new track, “Shield Of The Son,” HERE.
Terry Butler (bass) comments, “We chose ‘Shield Of The Son’ because it’s a song that is further into the album. This gives our fans a good idea of the strength of the album. It showcases what Massacre is all about: catchy, riffy, brutal Florida Death Metal!!!”
