Rather than simply remastering the originals, MASSACRE has chosen to fully re-record these songs, breathing new life into fan favorites with heavier tones, tighter performances, and an unmistakably aggressive edge. The result is a compilation that bridges eras—honoring the raw, primal energy of the early ’90s while presenting the material with the clarity and power expected from contemporary extreme metal recordings.
This best-of collection serves both longtime fans and new listeners alike: a definitive entry point into MASSACRE’s legacy, and a celebration of songs that helped shape death metal’s most formative years. Ferocious, uncompromising, and unapologetically brutal, this release proves that Massacre’s influence is as lethal now as it was decades ago.
Kam Lee comments: “I understand that re-recording these songs may make some fans uncomfortable. These tracks come from a specific time in our history, and nothing can ever replace the original recordings. Those versions are sacred, and they will always be there for fans to go back to. This was never about erasing the past or trying to outdo it. It comes from respect—for the songs, for the fans, and for what this music has meant over the years. This release is simply a celebration of those classic tracks, revisited with the experience, passion, and intensity that still drives us today. The originals remain untouched. This exists alongside them, not instead of them. This release is about honoring that legacy – revisiting songs that still mean everything to me and that still burn just as fiercely today. To the fans who have stood by Massacre all these years: this is for you. Take it as it’s intended—not as a replacement, but as a celebration. Thank you for keeping this music alive.”
