MASSACRE - Necrolution [COLOR IN COLOR LP]
Color in color LP, limited to 250 copies. About the album "Necrolution" is a retrospective, nostalgic album that turns back time to the late 80s and early 90s era of death metal. It recaptures the essence and style of death metal from its original formula, recreating the aesthetic feeling of something from the original style and sound to represent these modern times. The album purposefully aims to sound dated, representing an era of early death metal music without mimicking the band's own original style. Instead, it reflects the styles of many early era bands that influenced generations in death metal music. With commentary by Kam Lee, the album explores the evolution of Massacre's sound by devolving it. Unlike many bands in death metal that attempt to modernize their style and sound, "Necrolution" goes back to the origin. The concept was to create something reminiscent of the past, going back 40 years into history to emulate a style predominantly influenced by thrash and heavy metal bands. Lyrically entrenched in horror, it draws influence from H.P. Lovecraft stories and celebrates a time when horror movies were heavily inspired by such works. Track listing 1 Fear Of The Unknown 2 Xenophobia (Prologue) 3 Rituals Of The Abyss 4 Ensnarers Within 5 Death May Die 6 Chasm (Prologue) 7 The Colour Out Of Space 8 In The Lair Of Legacy Leeches 9 The Things That Were And Shall Be Again 10 Xothic (Prologue) 11 Dead-Life: ReAnimator 12 Shriek Of The Castle Freak 13 Curse Of The Resonator 14 Horrors Of Hidden Truth 15 Shroud Of Shadows 16 Ad Infinitum: The Final Hour Placer on the market according to GPSR: Four Flames GmbH & Co.

Pink LP limited to 250 copies. About the album "Necrolution" is a retrospective, nostalgic album, that turns back time to the late 80s and early 90s era of death metal. Recapturing the essence and style of death metal that was the original formula. Recreating the aesthetic feeling of something from the original style and sound to represent to these modern times. It’s purposefully meant to sound dated as it represents an era of early death metal music. It purposefully does not mimic the band's own original style but rather reflects the styles of many early era bands that influenced generations in death metal music. Commented by Kam Lee: "With «Necrolution» the idea was to evolve the band's sound by devolving it. Unlike many bands in death metal that attempt to modernize and update their style and sound to emulate many of the modern contemporary death metal bands, we wanted to go back to the origin. The original sound and style. We wanted to make an album that sounds like it could have come out of the late 80s. The entire concept was to create something that was a de-evolution of the death metal genre and go back to an early style reminiscent of the past."
